Russel is lining up for another DG...

Good lord. That was appalling.

Pathetic. That in a nutshell is why we're shite and why Laidlaw and Russell should not be near the Lions.

So fwcking predictable

Pathetic. Both the decision AND the execution were pathetic.

And Hogg. Superb pace and attack but if you want to play with the SH big boys you have to defend.

Oooh...

Whenever some ask why there's only one or two Scottish Lions then games like this is the answer.

Hmmmm....

If Laidlaw doesn't kick this there is literally no argument against dropping him

This. To the power of 10.

Yay!

Stole that.

Before I probably continue to moan (sorry) there are positives.

We won a game we'd normally lose.
Jones.
Watson
I thought Bradbury had an ok debut.
Gray Jnr

Glad to have got the result but we were pathetic.

VC HAS to develop alternatives against Georgia.

Watson probably deserves about 10 more caps than he has. Glad he's starting to cement his place now though.

Almost caught myself saying "fwck, we won". Realising the consequences of captain fantastic dragging the teams arse along the ground with his dynamic scrum half play to the next world cup.
Of course Price/Pyrgos will get 50 mins against Georgia....then subbed.

Our backrow has been somewhere around ordinary for a while. Watson and Bradbury look the real deal so fingers crossed they can stick around. Don't mind Barclay at 8 for his ruck skills, but it does mean the front five need to step up with their carries, Gray Jnr cant do it by himself every time.

He won't because it's a game we absolutely can't lose.

To be fair, given the injuries in the forwards it is hard to see where we can bring people in. 9 and Hoyland/Hughes to the wing? Toolis in from the dark if Richie still out isn't going to happen.

Andy Nicol having a wee dig. "Too slow, too telegraphed" for drop goal.

Anyway, play schite and win. A good skill to have.

The OC battle in the 6N is going to be red hot.

Vern cracks a joke.

This truly has been a year for freak events.

Hard to determine who was at fault for the decision - Laidlaw or Russell. The execution is all Russell though and that was pathetic x2. I'd like to see Kinghorn given a go at 10 against Georgia.

Fuck it I'll take that. We played fairly error strewn rugby against a side ranked higher than us and somehow conspired to nick it.

Thought Watson and Bradbury were very good the day.

Don't think you can blame Russell for the shambles of that last drop goal. If your half back partner takes a fucking fortnight to pass the ball back to you like that, he may well have been yelling "I'm going to try a drop goal" at the RG's. Actually surprised he didn't dummy it and have a sneaky tilt.

Nicol makes a fair point. Was about time we won one of these rather than playing well and losing.

D I'm going to quote you out of context for the rest of time.
