World Cup

hazsa, im not too down hearted.

Scotland were outstanding in how strong the came out of their blocks and always perform admirably (especially in defence) against the top teams and ESPECIALLY England! Our front 5 impressed me as did our back 5. However Im still a bit iffy with the flankers and the scrum & fly half.

Tuilagi has really impressed me, and I believe our mind was on the game ahead (as unprofessional as that is). We will annihilate France next game!

In Liverpool if you wore an Everton shirt today in a pub full of both fans I am sure arguments would occur on the streets and in the pubs!

Yet the two sets of fans are mixed in the stands! You wouldn't see that in Scotland!

A good match and well played Scotland

Enjoy the flight home

I didn't write this so you could have an argument about who hates you. I'd delete your comments if I could be bothered but anymore and you will be deleted.


From now on, comments should be about the actual game.

As for the game I always thought that it would be a nervy very close affair but not that close. I just wish that England players would learn the penalty rules. They give away far too many.

I'll chuck my unintelligable nonsense into the mix.

I actually thought a couple of the Scotish penalties were a bit harsh first half, Dan Coles tries to roll away Ref dings him 3 points. But that aside I wasn't impressed with Jonny kicking from long range and Youngs unusally dithered on the ball a bit.

Second half I thought we were the only team trying to play rugby, in better conditions against a team less set up to spoil I think we'll do better.

I thought we had the better scrum, we only really lost it on a technical point, Stevens should know he needs to lower his backside about 2 inches or get creamed by a prop of Murray's standard...as a prop myself that made me angry, its the most basic part of being a Loosehead!!!

Anyways exciting match, I felt we'd win at the end and was relieved we did. Bring on the French, a couple of big hits, some massive scrums, and maybe a drop or two of rain and Les Bleus will be waving their little white flag as per usual in the quarters!

Everytime I've seen Tuilagi play he seems to be getting better and better! Still not convinced by Tindall, but I guess we need the experience. Even though I think Happy is class! The wingers were solid, and Foden has really impressed me this World Cup.

I think it was a one off dip in form from Youngs and Wilko, however as much as I like Wilko I prefer the Youngs/Flood combo as they seem to be on a similar wavelegnth. I was far more impressed with the number 8 and the flankers this game though.

This is by far the hardest game we face in the group stages, and is probably a more difficult fixture than next game against France so Im not discouraged in the way we played at all!
