[2014 EOYT] Scotland vs New Zealand

[Bean]

This makes for really bad viewing!

 

[Darwin]

Savea and SBW on now. Carter off. Hopefully that helps our execution....

 

[smartcooky]

What bumbling and inept performance so far.

A series of unforced spills and knock-ons

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Are we trying to lose this? It seriously feels like it at the moment!

Certainly looks that way, but Scotland are too crap to actually win it.

Seriously, their defence has been very impressive but their attack has been gash.
It really feels like Scotland are putting 110% into, whereas the ABs are at like 20% - eventually NZ will turn it up a notch for a few minutes, run in a try or two, and that'll be the game.

 

[Will]

That's about the third time Russell has had a kick of his knocked down. He's going to cause me to suffer a heart attack here.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Case in point for Scotland's attack:
4 man overlap, 2nd man cuts back in to seek contact and Scotland don't even make it out of their 22.

Scottish Barbarians!!! Kick the thing.

 

[Darwin]

Scotland are feeling sorry for the AB's and are trying their best to gift the AB's a try by running it from everywhere. The AB's are far to incompetent to accept this gift. Dire rugby.

 

[irelandfan123]

Scotland are playing so deep I think new zealand are not used to it. They are freaking out. Nice to see a former Ulster Man playing so well. Only reason you are getting so close

 

[Darwin]

Good boy Colin. Looks like the only way we will score at the moment.

EDIT: Then we give them a chance to get 3 back. Poor.

 

[smartcooky]

We're going to lose this if we don't buck up our ideas!

 

[Will]

We're going to lose this if we don't buck up our ideas!

Here's hoping.

 

[Darwin]

FFS. Scotland with a chance to take the lead

 

[ruggabee]

omfg Laidlaw

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Ugh, very Johnny Sexton-sequence there.

 

[Will]

Then again, Laidlaw doesn't seem to want Scotland to take the lead for some reason.

 

[Big Ewis]

goddamn it Laidlaw...moment too big.

 

[SelimNiai]

Can I make this plea now that NZ'ers, can we give Scotland all the credit thats due from how they have played and not beliitle it with excuses like the ref or your team selection. Thanks

Scotland haven't played very well (apart from some strong defense). If they had they would be winning this match easily.
