[EOYT] Scotland V Australia 23/11/13

I think Scotland will pull off the upset in this one. I have always thought they would. Quade cooper is currently the best player in the world, He will be a huge threat. Scotland 10+.
 
He's a very good player, would have loved to have seen him and Ansbro in midfield. With him at 12 and our back 3 (with Hogg and Visser back) we're close to having a respectable backline!

Edit: And then Bennett can slot in at 13, and all we'll have to moan about is our fly half! And how all our once-decent backs have caught Scotland-itis, no doubt.

Ansbro having to retire was a huge blow for Scotland as far as I'm concerned. I was a big fan of his. The fact we're missing Scott, Hogg, Visser and having to play Maitland at fullback... Our back line certainly isn't as strong as it could be.

Edit: Glad to see Seymour has been passed fit to play however.

Damn that Aussie back 3 looks dangerous. I have no doubt that the midfield can settle to provide these 3 the ball they need to score some tries. With Cooper all I can see is attack attack attack. The only thing stopping them is the weather and if somehow the Scottish pack can stifle the Aussie pack of any ball. But we were talking about that before the Irish game last weekend so I wouldn't be so reliant on that.

Michael Hooper is THE MAN

I've missed Kelly Brown's eyebrows!
It's like having two extra players in your side.

50 ;)
Still quite an achievement though!

You're right, bud! I edited my mistake

Jim Hamilton gives away some really daft penalties.
 
funny how that Folau loose pass is something that looks amazingly off and terrible here for the Aussies, when it's basically the norm for any European-style team on attack :lol:
 
Maitland losing his colour up in Scotland. He's looking pasty!
