RWC: Scotland - Georgia (14-09-2011, 19:30)

Are Scottish expectations really so low that this registers as a good performance? If this was an English performance the commentators would be slaughtering them!
 
Our expectations are that we win, nothing spectacularly more or less
 
All going wrong for Georgia now :(

If Parks gets this (and I think he will) that's the game, I reckon
Can't see Georgia getting a converted try + penalty/DG in the next 10
 
Yip, got a safety net now, now for the subs to bring some extra impetus to get a try.

FFS, was I the only person who thought a ruck had already formed?
 
Was expecting Georgia to put up an even better fight than Romania. Well, the games been closer, but very boring.
 
Ansbro would have excelled in this game, missed him today.


One word:

Phew!
 
Bugger, gutting



Also, why did the commentators just say that that was a "Satisfactory performance"?


Scotland will get demolished against severely under performing Argentina and England squads if they play like that...

Annoyingly they will raise their game hugely against us because they hate England! Agree though there was nothing satisfactory about it, and I certainly wouldn't award the pack 'full marks'

Who said anything about it being a good performance? It was always going to be a slug-fest between the forwards and come down to a war of attrition between these two sides, even more so given the weather conditions. I'll just take the win for now thank you...
 
Aye - he doesn't seem impressed with Georgia either, saying that England will "dominate" them (and this is coming from a Welshman, he's not going to say that lightly :p )

Liked when he said that Scotland weren't using their "top two inches" - Evans was giving him death stares :p
 
The commentators did....most of the way through the game. Gareth Thomas clearly doesnt agree, you can tell he thinks they were awful.

I was referring to on here. I don't think anyone would refer to the game or the performance as being "good" in the sense of entertaining or expansive, but we'll take the win in such circumstances. And Evans is always going to stick up for his friends and ex-team mates, and rightly so.

And I don't remember seeing that much expansive/exciting rugby during the England - Argentina game...

Argentina is a whole different team than Georgia but like Evans said if England get a dry day we should score loads of tries. If we can get in that tryscoring vibe like against Italy, I can't see it happening to be honest.

How did Georgia play btw I missed the game, just got Evans and Thomas talking :S.
