    Nothing special tbh, solid win but never thought we looked like a potential world champion either.

    de Allende was great.

    Back in the cup.

    South Africa were always going to respond well after their opening loss.
     
  5. Droos JP Rhodes

    The quality of the opposition (on paper) was of such a nature that a win of that magnitude is far more significant than just "back on track". I thought we were impressive.

    I don't think the result was much better than what would have been expected going into the tournament.

    The score-line really flatters us imo. We were the better team but it was a sort of dominance that should be expected.

    Samoa tackled well I thought but you can only hold on for so long.

    Decent effort from SA, sadly look like they want to go back to nothing but mauls and box kicks.

    Think the TMOs really need to learn that a forward pass is when the players hands go forward, not if the ball goes forward.

    Who's this commentator for the Scotland game? Sounds like he's blocking his nose when he talks :laugh:

  12. Furball G Furball

    Can we get a decent camera angle on kicks at goal please?
     
  13. Furball G Furball

    Our passing has been shocking

    jesus these shit passes out wide are killing scotland
     
  15. MightyPies DA Alessi

    Keen to watch the second half of this if I can stay awake. Further ignite my excitement for Union lol
     
  16. Rego RS Hutchinson

    US win this one and it opens this pool right up too.
     
  17. MightyPies DA Alessi

    Scotland hit the lead. Was there anything in that call for an early tackle minutes before the try? Seemed soft to call back play on that
     
  18. Rego RS Hutchinson

    US falling off tackles now/ more gaps appearing. Scotland should close this one out.
     
  19. Furball G Furball

    They won't though.

    Good start this half. I love Finn Russell.
     
  20. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Meh he did prevent him so technically speaking the right call. Wasn't a try BTW as Scotland had tackled the man.
