Bet365 didn't offer the draw so they would've had to refund all bets. Why I placed my bets with them rather than betfair in the first place.
My bet of Tonga -10.5 in the second half still got up. The underdogs have pretty much matched it in the first half of every game so far only for quality to rise to the top in the second half of nearly every game so far which I guess it kind of did in this game but that's definitely still not how I saw it panning out.
It's a shame the rules about broadcasting the World Cup only apply to England. Hopefully the code can get a wee shot in the arm from today's result.
Caught the last half of that and thoroughly enjoyed it. How the fuck the Scots held out I'll never know
It seems cruelly ironic that 1 Wallace is responsible for Scotland standing up against bigger opposition & another Wallace is going to disappear when it comes to doing the same thing.
Wallace played okay. Played a similar role to the one he did with Lockyer - very much the second option in the halves, but tackled really well, took pressure off Brough with a few kicks and allowed him to threaten from second receiver at times with some distribution. He wasn't outstanding but I don't think "went missing" is fair, I reckon they would've lost if he wasn't playing.
