RWC: Scotland v Russia (Pool A)

[Bones]

Scotland are pretty poop eh. That was a try gone begging from the 22 turnover. Ends up with the 9 running lateral and taking the wingers space, then passing to him once he's dragged 3 defenders across. Most teams would have blitzed that.

Oh, now a try.

Anyone else problems with Spark at the moment? My screen is frozen.

Getting a lot of buffering issues on KayoSports

Fuck that's some streaky shit. Russia not covering the back well enough tho - if that 10 is going to do nothing but kick and pass from 10m behind the gain line, he should be back there

[ACT Crusader]

Now an intercept on the try line.

[MiketheSnow]

Surprised they didn't have a look at that

[NTA]

Ah that's awful.

Yeah but no real need. All the Russians standing well in goal

Doesn't mean he didn't start early.

It was pretty quick ball off the top

[taniwharugby]

why do Scotland keep kicking it away

[NTA]

Another forearm fends goes unnoticed

[taniwharugby]

if Scotland stop kicking it away and stop dropping it, they could put some puts up here

Because they're not that good really

[taniwharugby]

@MiketheSnow the 15 looks like he would be a good runner in a bit of space

[NTA]

Like the USA, Russia need to find someone who is a bit more all-round at 10. Gaisin has a good boot, but not much else.

Instinct, exposure, and regular competition.

[NTA]

Scots loosehead has elbow down. Watch that.

[taniwharugby]

@NTA most of the time he has held on by a thread....

The prop?

[taniwharugby]

@NTA yes.

Scotland manage to blow a chance to get thier BP

[African Monkey]

Fantastic Russian defence to end the half.

[NTA]

Go Russia. That's a little win right there after Scotland forgot they had a backline. Some great reads from the Russian D.
