I could get the bus down easily enough just don't want to get caught in th scrum walking back towards Haymarket afterwards.

Anyone tried the tram after the game? Busy as fook?
I thought you were miles away :lol:

I've seen the tram stop post game, wouldn't bother.

Tram is indeed rammed after the game - has the potential to get a bit hairy if you're taking a wee boy on that immediately after the game. Less busy if riding back to airport, or hanging around after for a cup of tea or whatever.

Anyway, I'll pop back with my winning first try scorer prediction later...

What i do quite alot is drive to Hermiston gate and then get the tram to the stadium

Its pretty quick getting there and if your quick out the stadium its not a huge wait to get the tram again, especially since most of the tram traffic are heading into town

Otherwise, part around Gorgie, but cant say i do it often

So about the game... Expecting a decent win.

Scrum needs to hold up though.

Potentially, it could be huge for us. But we are talking about Scotland. Also, Argentina are known to up their game. A "respectful" confident approach is needed. We must impose our pace.

Should be able to win but this is Scotland after all: masters of the one-step-forwards-two-steps-back approach.

The front row will come under pressure I imagine, which means we need to play fairly error free rugby.

Reckon scotland will be really confident, but the Argies will take our scrum apart any chance we let them, i think our lineout will hold so im not sure apart from an occasional penalty they will get (hoping no silly 5M scrums on our line in the death to win it)

We need to play fast and move the RG pack about and trust our backs to do the business

how many scrums were there in the Oz game. I seem to think it was pretty low in comparison to days gone by.

It really depends on the weather, if it stays dry then its totally possible we could go 20 - 25 mins without a scrum, but the RGs may try to opt for scrums whenever they get a chance

Got to go against the prevailing wisdom here. The Jaguars excel at a high paced, off loading game where they run the other side into the ground. Try to take them on at that and we'll lose. Try to play a set piece game and we'll lose. It's got to be balanced and keeping them guessing what we're going to do next. It's a winnable game but could be a cracker if both teams come to play.

Jocks by 10. Would have been by 24 if Hoyland was playing.

Im optimistic but think this would be a really good win. Both sides can score tries and I dont think theyl play as badly as they did against wales

Tommy Seymour first try.

Scotland win. (Hopefully by 15+ for world ranking points, but would take by 1)

MOTM Agustín Pichot.

Argentina not doing anything at all. Just sitting back and waiting for us to lose possession or make a mistake.

It's balanced by the Argentine halfbacks passing. Jesus it's bad.

FFS. Take him off.

I can't beleive I have to put up with Ben Youngs and now Laidlaw. 4th time he's completely thrown us off with what should be an easy pass.

AAAARGH F'KING LAIDLAW


I'm already done with following Scotland for the season. Bollox to this.
It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Lots of encouragement for Faegergson come scrum time. Good to see Bradbury getting involved early. Great turnover by Watson there.
