Don’t put your hands on your head mate... they’ll end up ‘more’ oily,

 

[Reiser99]

Clear penalty try.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Grab a coffee, flick the match on, Nige intruding and getting it wrong... Shocked

 

[bushytop]

Well... 2020 is their year!

**** this ... 2019 is still Scotland’s year!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

**** this ... 2019 is still Scotland’s year!

Are they playing the Baabaas in the Autumn too?

 

[Umaga's Witness]

Foot of god

 

[Reiser99]

Samoa have been terrible.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

This whole game has been terrible

 

[Bada-Bing!]

So damn close.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's gotta be a penalty try

 

[Yoshimitsu]

Er two yellows he’s gone!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Gauzere is a fantastic referee.

 

[Reiser99]

Scotland have played a lot better than against Ireland, but still not great. Made to look a lot better by an awful Samoa performance.

 

[bushytop]

Shame coz Samoa used to be on the cusp of where Fiji now are!

 

[donmcdazzle]

Definitely a penalty try... but does anyone else think the double whammy of penalty try plus yellow is a bit over the top? Should be one or the other.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

So bonus point Scotland.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

That pass was miserable

Absolutely not a penalty try is given for committing an offence that stops a certain try. The only negative can't be to get the try you would of been given either way.

If you only give a penalty try is there even a punishment. I mean it’s a guaranteed 7 instead of a 5 plus the chance of the kick. If you don’t yellow card someone for a penalty try, what’s the incentive for not committing the offense? They are gonna score anyway.

 

[bushytop]

Well done Scotland, BP win and a donut... couldn’t have asked for much more really.
