Scotland v Fiji - 2 November 2024

[General Melchett]

Scotland getting sloppy, even if that looked like a forward pass

Surprised they didn't look at it. Was flat but could easily have been a touch forward

 

[General Melchett]

Better. Seem to have wrestled back momentum.

 

[AlRums]

Cheeky pass by Hastings

 

[General Melchett]

Jordan has had an impressive debut. Really adds to the depth at 10/12 with Messi, Hastings & Sione.

 

[General Melchett]

Not bad but Fiji missing a few big guns. Will be a few levels up next week when SA come to town.

 

[AlRums]

Scotland scored more tries than all the other teams playing today combined.

 

[Welsh Exile]

Big pressure on Gatland after this result. Don’t get me wrong, any win will do but Scotland beating Fiji by 40 points is a marker for us even if Gatland and co won’t want it to be. I haven’t seen the game but I imagine Fiji will be better having a game under their belt.

Not to mention, having their overseas players available

Oh bugger.

How has Darcy Graham scored 28 tries for Scotland? When did it happen? Have I been in a coma for the last 5 years?

Scotland have played a lot of tier 2 sides recently - think he's scored 10 in the last year vs Fiji/Romania/Georgia

Georgia 4
Italy 4
Japan 1
New Zealand 1
Argentina 3
France 1
Tonga 1

so he is 50/50 between tier 1 and 2 sides

I think your maths is off. I make it 11 tries against T1 opponents (Though scoring against Italy is debatable) and 17 against T2.

England ones don't count, we don't know how to tackle.

That makes them T2 then.
