RWC: England - Scotland (01-10-2011, 20:30)

Mate you did not deserve that, the French go through, no justice in this world.

Seconded

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wonder if Wilkinsons arm injury is bad and we can bring in a replacement for the knockout?

Wouldn't mind LITERALLY ANYONE taking his place
Flutey or Hodgson would be nice - Though even Andy Goode would be an improvement

 

[Isurus]

We threw that away, again, again and again.

This.

The plan seemed to be, let them get to just within kicking range and then give away a stupid stupid penalty. Mission accomplished.

 

[Steveomac]

Oh well - Scotland beaten again. Not surprised given their lack of any sort of running threat. The try England got at the end flattered England though.

 

[Seaton]

yeah...I don't know what to say about that though, technically Dan Parks threw it away but at the same time most Scottish opportunities came through him.

Is Tuilagi man of the match? Hoping so.

Parks was Man of the Match

:/

 

[HenryChinaski]

Seconded

Nobody deserves the pain of going out...but being brutally honest, I don't think any Scottish fans on here would say they deserve to go through after the four games. Squeezing past Romania at the end, not scoring a try against Georgia, and losing against Argentina. Thus performance seemed to have been a huge improvement for them (didint catch the first half) but they dont deserve to go through.

 

[j-dawg]

Flood for Flyhalf anyone?

 

[j'nuh]

Next match, Flood, Palmer and Corbs starts.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Next match, Flood, Palmer and Corbs starts.

Agreed.

 

[Tricia McMillan]

If Scotland manage to pull this off and win by 8 or more, everyone in Scotland will be cheering for Argentina to get maximum points against Georgia tomorrow.

Well, after the second half win, everyone in Scotland are now the biggest Georgia fans ever, praying for the upset of the tournament.

 

[Peat]

Parks was Man of the Match

:/

Probably true from an English perspective

 

[j-dawg]

Flood, Palmer, Corbs starting. Wood and Shaw on the Bench.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Agreed.

Same
Also start Haskell at 8 and have Wood on the bench


Cueto on the bench as well


My team would be (Moody is captain so has to be there, I wouldn't pick him otherwise):

1. Corbisiero
2. Thompson
3. Cole
4. Lawes
5. Palmer
6. Croft
7. Moody (C)
8. Haskell
9. Youngs
11. Armitage
12. Tindall
13. Tuilagi
14. Ashton
15. Foden

16. Hartley
17. Stevens
18. Shaw
19. Wood
20. Wigglesworth (Simpson has no experience, which is purely Johnsons fault for not using him)
21. Wilkinson (urgh)
22. Cueto

 

[SpanishBob]

Flood for Flyhalf anyone?

When Flood is on the pitch England play, when Wilkinson is on the pitch England just survive.
Wilkinson lost the spot one year and a half ago and was nobody's fault, but his. Why Johnson changed his mind again I don't know. Wikinson is not the man anymore, and that's pretty obvious.

 

[Peat]

Same

My team would be (Moody is captain so has to be there, I wouldn't pick him otherwise):

What would you do if Tindall was captain?

 

[j-dawg]

What would you do if Tindall was captain?

Commit suicide.

 

[Thingimubob]

Parks was Man of the Match

:/

Wehay! He's in my fantasy team been trying to move him out for Carter for the past week but for some reason you can only change the kickers on certain dates. Lucky I didn't with Parks MotM and Carter injured!

 

[Saintjay]

All the ITV boys going for Wilkinson I think to start against France. I think that is how it will be, lord knows why.

 

[Saintjay]

What would you do if Tindall was captain?

I am not getting Tindall at all, just seems to be a crash ball player.

 

[Thingimubob]

Commentary was bloody annoying in this one...my favourite bit was:

"He's given that a real hoof, HE'S GIVEN THAT A REAL HOOF! ...but it's just short'' (was a mile off...)
