Scotland v Australia 2021

[Billy Tell]

Poite + the SA guy in the tmo box. You know there will be controversy.

[sparky]

What about the contact on Hooper after he scored? I thought that was much worse.

[MajorRage]

That’s a terrible call

[sparky]

O'connor kicks a goal. 7-3 after 39 minutes

[MiketheSnow]

Great first half

Australia in the ascendancy despite being a man down

[sparky]

Scots defence parts like the Red Sea. Aussie in.

[Billy Tell]

That Australian 7 looks like he’s been plucked out of the 80s. Stubbies, a singlet and jandals (thongs…) to complete the look.

[Billy Tell]

That was a sensational tackle from JOc

[sparky]

Commentators saying this is Poitre's last international. What a shame, not!

I heard he has a book deal.

[sparky]

Scotland get a 2nd. 12-10 with 20 to go.

[sparky]

O'connor kicks a penalty. 12-13 with 15 to go. Really good game.

[sparky]

Aussie scrum fold like wet paper again. Scotland with the penalty. Russell kicks it. The lead changes hands again. 15-13 with 12 to go.

[MiketheSnow]

Good result for Scotland

[Victor Meldrew]

Mistake-strewn game with dreadful refereeing - par for the course for Poitre

Never forgiven him for his appalling refereeing in the Boks/AB game at Eden Park when he sent Bismark Du Plessis off twice.

[sparky]

Finished 15-13. Good Scottish defence.

[MajorRage]

Poite was ok today with letting it flow but he did make a few mistakes, which pretty much so all went Scotland’s way.

Really enjoyed it tho, Scotland backline is a joy to watch.

Bill Mclaren used to refer to it as ‘the opposition finding more space than in the gobi desert’

I think he’d be pleased with three wins in a row vs Australia.

There’s a sentence I never thought I’d see written down in my lifetime

Watching the last 20 minutes and the highlights only, it looked like an entertaining test match. The no try ruling because of the Alaalatoa cleanout seemed harsh to me, would annoy me as a Wallaby supporter.
