[EOYT] Scotland vs South Africa 16/11/13

[Big Ewis]

Scotland are the only other nation that I feel the need to support! (Unless it's against NZ.. and unless it's England vs NZ )
Hope they and do this to make it getting over last night easier.....

they deserve support, I agree. They've done some fairly remarkable things this year given the pieces they have. And they're discrete, you never hear them bragging or wtvr. One would say there's nothing to brag about, but still. They work hard and quietly and their efforts are heavily overlooked.

Olyy, is Gray really hated at Sale?

Agreed about FoS, and we seem to like creating disgusting alternate kits. This one is foul in many ways, even the back looks bad and that's pretty basic!


Also, this looks like it will be a long day.

Olyy, is Gray really hated at Sale?

Wouldn't say hated, but you'd be hard pressed to find a fan of his.
I'd say most are indifferent, and some annoyed by his lack of interest/workrate/doing anything other than hanging out in the centres.

The Scottish line-out is very bad tonight. It's very rare, they were always good at the line-out...

 

[Tony Manx]

BBC showed and interview with the incredibly brave Joost van der Westhuizen before the game...........what pluck and so good to see him make the trip to see probably another SA victory!

Chapeau Joost, Chapeau

Looks like they're playing on sand.

Great rush up tackle on Le Roux!!

 

[Jaguares]

People rag on God Save The Queen but Flower of Scotland has to be one of the worst songs in existence. It's just an annoying droning noise.

I love the: "Flower of Scotland"!! Especially when it's sung by the crowd in Murrayfield

 

[Big Ewis]

K, Scotland are really resisting and showing quality on defense there.

 

[ruggabee]

Scotland are defending so well. They really need possession though cos this is gona tire them out.

Edit. Aw that sucks.. Scotland were doing the basics well. Putting width on the ball. And then out of no where an intercept........

 

[Big Ewis]

heart breaking for Scotland...you feel they're not far from really making a difference in their good matches. Such a shame.

 

[Chikwa]

"Standard South African try" from the pacy and classy le roux!

 

[ruggabee]

Whaaat.

 

[Big Ewis]

OK...goodnight everyone.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Two tries in two minutes!

Great little kick from Le Roux for Pietersen!

 

[Patchey]

Owch, just as Scotland get a few phases and that happens.

South Africa really do look scary at the moment...

This game is over! Le roux oozes class....

 

[Jaguares]

The carnage began, poor Scots...

So true..............what on earth are Scotland wearing? It is awful!

You're serious? I like too much the new Scotland Away Kit!

 

[ruggabee]

Scotland's only chance was to keep it close. 21-0 noo chance...

SA are powerful+they have Habana. If those are contained or somehow bested, victory is bound. The All-Blacks matched up well against them because they "oversped" them with their thunderous execution and try scoring tactics.
Scotland need to speed it up in the second half to win the score back, because they can't out-girth South Africa. They're going to have to score tries (regardless of trailing so badly).
