Mind you commentator thinks it was a penalty against Visser, absolute nonsense.

You can't obstruct from behind.

From my, admittedly biased, view Payne altered his line to prevent Visser getting to the ball carrier.

When was it ok to kick the ball out of the SH's hands?

It was "clever" apparently. But this all came from Ritchie flying out the defensive line like an amateur. I've been bitching about the ref plenty but we have been fucking rank. Get Horne on now and Strauss. We really need a ball carrier.

Hardie off and Strauss on seems a fair call. I'd think about Hardie for Barclay as well and let's start doing to Ireland what they've been doing to us.

That's another nonsense call from the ref I think but in our favour this time.

Or he ran his line to support. Doesn't matter. You can't obstruct from behind.

It feels like we've taken one step forward and 5 steps backwards. This is horrendous stuff. Guys like Barclay and Weir just don't have the guile to execute that kind of move.. play to the strengths.

Glad we got the try but how come that's no an Ireland yellow? Never seen a man flop over the ball so blatantly.

I will bow to your better knowledge of the rules, I thought that you couldn't stop someone getting to the ball carrier that way. At the time I didn't think he ran his support line but made the move towards Visser. My annoyance was mostly with the commentary.

coolest stroll in ever..good try.( R.Gray)
28-20 after 56m.
Strauss will have an impact.

Get Horne on. Weir looks busy but he is bad at this type of game. Why were we running that from our 22 anyway? We're 8 points behind not 20.

Horne on..ineresting.

We need to get Pyrgos on.

I don't know who that was on McInnally's blindside but it was definitely a back and they had nobody near them. Jesus christ.. come on.

The scrum halves on the bench only exist to cover an injury to Laidlaw.

Craig Joubert having a sly smile to himself on the touch line, he's no longer the most hated ref in Scotland.

What a waste.

They didn't get yellow when we scored then? Ludicrous.

good effort..injuries to Sexton & Ryan.
Sutherland debut change for Dickinson.

No. The offending player wasn't wearing blue.

Chicken.. fowl play..

That looked bad. If intentional its a deserved card.

That looked bad in real time. Worse than it does slowed down actually. Still expecting a yellow though.

Card all day.

Sexton milked the fuck out of that. Sat up moaning to the ref, then suddenly falls back clutching his head. Fud.

That's a red IMO.

Red card. For sexton. Play acting is cheating. Hands go up to appeal to the red first, then he pretends his head is hurt.
