[QUOTE="edinburgh_gunner, post: 289166"] Was at the game, incredible atmosphere and Murrayfield wasn't even full!! Andy Robinson and Steadman have brought discipline and organisation to our national side. They're playing to the strengths of Scotland; using our big pack and keeping it simple. I know a lot of Aussies are banging on about how the dominanted Scotland, but rugby is as much about what you do off the ball as what you do on it. I can understand the argument that Australia were better cause they had more ball or possession, but they wasted it. Scotland hardly saw the ball, yet registered more points that Australia. So, how does that make Australia a better side? Oz were forced into a lot of their errors by an awesome Scottish defence that smashed and battered anything in a gold jersey. How many times did we see an Aussie boy get driven back? Look at Giteu's 'attempt' at a drop goal at the end of the first half. Hit after hit after hit had Australia going backwards and we forced them into those stupid errors. Aye, Oz should've been able to complete a simple 3 v 1, but the fact that the lad didn't proves that Australia were not good enough to win the game. You can have as much possesion and territory as you want, but unless you do anything with it, you're no better than the other team and that is exactly what happened on Saturday! [/QUOTE]
