Scotland vs South Africa (2021 EoYT round 3)

[big ginger 8]

How soon before a Scottish yellow unless they really clean up their discipline? Teams target single digit penalties across the 80 and they have 5 in 12 minutes.

Chris Ashton would've scored that

Chris Ashton would've scored that

Was the exact try I was thinking of. Probably because Sky force fed it to us on loop for at least 5 years.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Fair play to Kriel on the tackle, didn't think he was that fast

2 things

1. Duhan van der Merwe is the symbol of all that is wrong with international rugby
2. Herschel Jantjies is not the successor to De Klerk.

Big psychological win for Scotland that.

For me there Ritchie clearly hand his arms on the ground and pulled them back onto the ball.

Scotland seem to be getting slightly beasted at times but getting away with it and looking good when they have chances. SA a little sloppy maybe?

Thought the same - SH ref, though
Only really seems to have been cracked down on in the NH tbh

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I do like when a dominant scrum shoves the opposition backwards rather than it just instantly collapsing

Almost feels harsh to penalise Scotland in that case - it's not illegal to be pushed backwards (I know they usually do them for angles or whatever, but you try stay straight when going backwards at a rate of knots), the dominance should be it's own reward

That last one was way more legit than the previous one. Both should've been against Ritchie though

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Looked like there were 2 forward passes in that passage...

 

[big ginger 8]

Way too slow to move on to Mapimpi there from McClean, Ritchie had Kolisi covered.

 

[Reiser99]

South Africa doing their best to lose this.

 

[Reiser99]

Had to be forward in the build up.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

South Africa doing their best to lose this.

Almost comical how dominant they've been but come away with nothing

Scotland spamming the kickpass and it eventually comes off
Scrappy as hell but entertaining try

 

[big ginger 8]

Pretty mental in fairness, feels like it should have been stopped like 5 times in the build up.

Such a cliche but Scottish attack is definitely high risk, high reward.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Surprised that stuck, passing to static runners is something SA are pretty handy at shutting down

 

[Reiser99]

Not sure I agree with that decision, but hey ho.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Ritchie's turnovers were more blatant than that one was.
