Scotland beat australia................Again!...

Conditions sucked, OK but they sucked for Scotland as well. If anything having to play into the wind in the 2nd half was a disadvantage.
Our forward play in the second half was almost like the Force forwards, hammer away time and time again then turn the ball over and go back and start again.
There was a time that when an Australian team (Rugby or tiddley winks) turned up to play they would play with flat out passion, guts and determination.
Whats happened? Were has the passion gone?
That game was there for the taking and The Scots took it.

I have been saying the same for ages...Well done SNOB!!! Same goes for the Force...I have to say I thought my "boy" played out of his skin however....

Except for Sharpie and Poey - they still play like their lives depended on it. The rest of them from last night? Meh :-(

Maybe if the Wallabies were selected purely on form rather than which province they play for, they would show more heart and fight!! Nothing like real competition for places to ignite that fighting spirit! Seems the simple pride of wearing the green and gold isn't enough anymore :-(

I must remember to read all the posts before I butt in....apologies PerthChika.....

I reckon the possession/territory stats would be similar in both halves. Should have been able to take the game I suppose. I thought the major blunder was the decision to take that VERY low %age sjot for.goal in the1st half when they wete making good inroads into the wind. Well done Scotland. Specially on D.

One positive for Oz was the line out. Moores throwing in the conditions was magnificent.

Lineout was also good because of "you know who".... Bless
