Scotland v New Zealand

[Muzzy]

lol i feel so stupid for even thinking scotland had a chance

 

[TVH11]

well i didn't think it would be this 1 sided, NZ really have stepped on it :S last 5 mins have been bit more contested tho, I hate seeing "1 sided" matches but there has been some nice tries

What difference it makes to that All Blacks backline when we have a ball player at 2nd 5/8 instead of a battering ram!!

 

[nickdnz]

Right now, I just want to point out, I have always been a Hosea Gear fan. Thought I'd start before the ban wagon gets full.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

SBW is much better at 12 than 13

Toeava and Gear are both having great games, Toeavas got such massive amounts of strength, he's just brushing off defenders like flies
Gear is out of this world, how he just runs through defences is incredible

Scotland have shown short flashes of good play, but then spoil it with a stupid knockon, or just get turned over
All Blacks completely outclassing them

That's a bit of a void conclusion given that SBW isn't anything less of a battering ram lol.

I get your point.

 

[Seaton]

The All Blacks have simply out-classed us, all the confidence gained from last season
Evaporated with that kick that never went into touch

Max Evans seems unable to realize the class gap between NZ and Magners League rugby
He's been caught with possesion at least 3 timesl, all resulting in turnovers


Hopefully the rain will start soon, this is getting embarrasing

The problem for Scotland is that they have had more ball and territory but they're just running left to right.

Sorry mate, beat you to it.

Dead right though. Gear is a class act, hopefully the coaches pull their heads out of the clouds with regards to Rokocoko.

Another try setup by SBW

I wouldn't be surprised to see
11 Gear, 12 SBW, 13 Smith, 14 Jane, 15 Muliaina, 22 Toeava come world cup time

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Here comes DONALD

 

[TRF_Olyy]

28 minutes to get 33 points...go Scotland!

 

[smartcooky]

Here's Scotland chance....Donald is on for Carter (and Dan did not look happy about it.)

And what does he do with his first touch, kicks the ball down the through of a Scottish player, and puts the AB's under pressure again....


Note to Steven Donald....

KICK THE ******* BALL OUT!!!!!!!!!

 

[Black Heart]

Donald has no direction at all. The All Blacks have been fluffing around ever since Carter and McCaw came off. Let's be thankful we're not playing South Africa or Aussie.

I rest my case.

Try scored through the backline and Donald is nowhere to be seen.

Cory Jane is still ahead of Toeava.

 

[smartcooky]

And when you DO kick it out, don't kick it dead in goal from a penalty


DOH!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Cory Jane is still ahead of Toeava.

Hence Toeava on the bench and Jane at 14

 

[Black Heart]

Hence Toeava on the bench and Jane at 14

Or Nonu on the bench.

And when you DO kick it out, don't kick it dead in goal from a penalty


DOH!

At least he knows which direction the touch line's in now.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Pitch invader tries to get SBW - There's an idea run for the massive rugby player who also happens to be a heavyweight boxer! :lol:

 

[woodward]

SBW MOTM.

Now can I just say NickD and assorted NH posters, I told you so.

 

[smartcooky]

Well finally Donald makes a useful contribution; running through a gap big enough to drive a White Freightliner through, and sending Ellis through forthe AB's 7th try.

AB's too good, too powerful, too skillful and too clinical for the hapless Scots.


Oh, and I think all the SBW naysayers can just shut up now, and that includes Willie of the Week (Lo'se).

I think you have to give him some credit. After all it's about the first thing he's done right in the last (I dunno) 20 tests?
