EOYT: Scotland v AIG All Blacks, 11/11/2012

[Seaton]

And that's the game.


At least we got to into double digits this time.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Simple try for Savea.
Scotland not doing too badly on their defence for the most part, but they're getting sucked in too much leaving space out wide.

 

[Tricia McMillan]

Who would win in a footrace: Piri Weepu, or a snail?

 

[admartian]

Savea hard to stop from there.


Gee, some guy called Ben Smith is playing pretty well...

 

[Tony Manx]

Well you have to say he was instrumental in that try...............England are you watching this!!

 

[SelimNiai]

It is all about respect.......and what this game should be about!

Tradition is that the kicker is allowed to do his thing in respectful silence just as a golfer is allowed to play his shot in silence.

All very Miss World.

Its a competitive game (which golf isnt, thats just a glorified hobby for rich people) and like I said if the kicker is put off by a small thing like booing he's in the wrong game.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Floodgates...

if the kicker is put off by a small thing like booing he's in the wrong game.

A number of kickers (I know Charlie Hodgson is one) say they don't like kicking in silence, and a prefer a bit of noise.

 

[Big Ewis]

AAAAAH CAHM AHN !!! 3rd try !
They're doing 1 try per 10min...

 

[Seaton]

Question is, have the All Blacks scored more points than Scotland have made unforced errors?

 

[Tony Manx]

All very Miss World.

Sorry you feell like that but you see that attitude a lot these days unfortunately.....incidentally, I doubt many kickers are put off by it which makes it even worse!

 

[Draggs]

We are going to get dicked.

 

[Seaton]

Why did it have to be Cross...


Must say I enjoyed Denton smashing McCaw aside though.

 

[Tony Manx]

Well done Scotland...great spirit but could be Harlem Globetrotterish after the break!

 

[McTallshort]

Scotland need to man up a bit here, NZ are being given far too much time on the ball and are being allowed to play there game. What ever happened to some Border Reiver in-your-face rugby, Some JJ enspired chaos. NZ are commiting nothing to the breakdown so why are Scotland not putting any pressure on it? and the first up tackling in not anywhere near International level.

Come in Scotland! Man up!

 

[Seaton]

chance to get a try back against 14 men... or at least not concede.

thomson to be cited?

 

[Tony Manx]

Fairly light tap on the back of his scrum capped head but this being the era we are in.....yes will be cited and small ban!

 

[Tricia McMillan]

I'd expect a 3-week ban for that.

Unfortunate because I don't think it was deliberate but a boot to the head is a boot to the head, and this is the era of rugby we're in.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Fairly light tap on the back of his scrum capped head but this being the era we are in.....yes will be cited and small ban!

Well yeah, it's against the laws of the game...
Didn't look much/anything in it, and he's not a dirty player, but rules are rules (or laws, as the case may be).




Tim Visser second try!

Considering how poor Scotland were at scoring tries up until very recently, they've put three on New Zealand. Madness!

 

[Seaton]

Must say I prefer suicidal play with a cople of tries over slow succumbing to an inevitable thumping.

 

[Draggs]

ABs not looking good today.
Careless mistakes and stupid penalties.

Visser for Lions please, we can keep North.
