[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 765735, member: 12207"] The reason I take issue with it though was because it sounds like major sour grapes and disingenuous to say they were "robbed" when: 1. Australia still had possession and would have got a scrum (and mate, the were dominating the scrums in the final quarter), 2. Australia had crossed Scotland's try line a total of 6 times already in the game. 3. Scotland's decision making at the end (throwing long in the line out and then kicking long off the kick off) suggested poor management and compusure. Saying they were robbed implies a nigh on certain victory for the Scots and given the number of times the Wallabies have beaten northern sides in particular at the death of games in the past few years I reckon that's being a tad trite.
