Wales by 50 in an emphatic display to end their ten game losing streak…..

Crumbs, even the Scots have never been that shite

10 losses on the bounce

Sometimes on the bounce of the ball

Argentina in WC QF - could and should have won
Scotland - lost by 1 point
England - lost by 2 points
Ireland - smashed 31-7
France - smashed 45-24
Italy - lost by 3 points. Own worst enemies
SA - smashed 41-13
Australia
Australia - could and should have won one of the tour matches
Fiji - had enough possession and territory to win last week. Own worst enemies

We aren't but could easily be 6-4 instead of 0-10

As long as there’s some good learnings in there

Bit like the Chiefs' Super Rugby Aotearoa season under Gatland... Kept finding ways to lose.

What's the thinking with benching Joseph Sua'ali'i?

[game_film]

@sparky Think it’s a case of if Kerevi is going to play then he starts at 12 and it goes from there.

And both he and Skelton need game time ahead of tougher Tests

@MiketheSnow

On a 10 match losing streak which includes a 2-0 tour loss to Australia

First choice scrum half out with injury

I don't have to go as far as the fridge to get the underdog status

Rugby's most obscure record that Scottish Rugby currently holds | Rugbydump

Scotland Rugby have lost 19 test matches in a row to New Zealand at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh making it an All Black fortress

"World number seven ranked Scotland are rightly regarded as one of the preeminent teams in World Rugby...Currently just a step behind the top four sides South Africa, Ireland, New Zealand and France in terms of consistency, Gregor Townsend’s side are arguably the top side amongst the chasing pack of England, Argentina and Italy."

I'll have what Phil Bendon's drinking.

@nostrildamus Feels very ChatGPT does that

Quite simply, Scotland still respect the All Blacks Aura whereas other disrespectful teams like Argentina and Ireland have essentially spat in the face of it.

The Scots on the other hand have sacrificed any potential glory for the good of the game overall.

It’s something to be greatly admired really.

[MiketheSnow]

Can you move this sweaty shit to a different thread please?

It's stinking up the place

[MajorRage]

Aussie looking pretty sharp. Wales. Not.

[pooler fan]

It's going to be a long afternoon

[cgrant]

It could become ugly for Wales.

[cgrant]

Not really actually. Nice try for Wales.

[cgrant]

The Wallabies have fallen asleep.

[MajorRage]

Interesting. Ref blows for dangerous clean out but reviews show it wasn’t.

Is it better to stop and review or wait for TMO and continue …. In this case shouldn’t have stopped but certainly a conundrum

[pooler fan]

Better 2nd quarter from Wales, finally started to win some collisions.
First 20 we were far too passive.
Aus looked very good in that 1st quarter though.

[MiketheSnow]

This is ours to lose

[MiketheSnow]

I’m out and on the piss
