SuperMikey Posted 13 March, 2011 Posted 13 March, 2011 Have a feeling Scotland will grab a sneaky win today - we've played decently so far but never really gotten into top gear. I think the occasion will spurr our lads on to a win! Having said that now, we'll probably get turned over.
SuperMikey Posted 13 March, 2011 Author Posted 13 March, 2011 Great to see Chris Paterson starting too!
SuperMikey Posted 13 March, 2011 Author Posted 13 March, 2011 Scotland equalise on the stroke of half time, 9-9 at the break.
Trader Posted 13 March, 2011 Posted 13 March, 2011 For too long Rugby Union has been a penalty kicking competition - often given on dubious decisions by the referee. The points given should be adjusted something like this: Try - 10pts Conversion - 2pts Drop goal - 2pts Penalty - 1pt Maybe then we'd see more of what the game should be all about I'm taking cover.
SuperMikey Posted 13 March, 2011 Author Posted 13 March, 2011 But then Scotland would never win any games! Kelly Brown knocked unconscious about 10 minutes ago, Mike Tindall off with an injury to his left ankle. Parks and Blair on for Lawson and Jackson...seems we're really going for it now!
SuperMikey Posted 13 March, 2011 Author Posted 13 March, 2011 Barclay binned for no f*cking reason, supposedly preventing a try-scoring opportunity when Jacobsen already had the guy by the waist and was bringing him down. England convert the penalty, 12-9.

England convert the penalty, 12-9. A dubious penalty then - see my post above. Under my system - England 4 - 4 Scotland
SuperMikey Posted 13 March, 2011 Author Posted 13 March, 2011 And now Poite tears his calf muscle, that's karmic retribution right there!
Hatch Posted 13 March, 2011 Posted 13 March, 2011 shocking game, mistake followed by mistake followed by mistake
SuperMikey Posted 13 March, 2011 Author Posted 13 March, 2011 Chris Paterson with a fantastic try-saving tackle there, that would have been game over if England had scored then. Brought him down 4 yards down from the try line!
SuperMikey Posted 13 March, 2011 Author Posted 13 March, 2011 (edited) F*ck, England score a try. Crofts. Wilkinson converts. 19-9. Barclay back on for Scotland. Edited 13 March, 2011 by SuperMikey
SuperMikey Posted 13 March, 2011 Author Posted 13 March, 2011 Max Evans scores a lovely try for Scotland, game on again! 5 minutes on the clock. 19-16
SuperMikey Posted 13 March, 2011 Author Posted 13 March, 2011 Wilkinson with the chance to wrap it up for England on 79 with a penalty.... .....and he scores. 22-16.
Trader Posted 13 March, 2011 Posted 13 March, 2011 Scotland 2 - 1 England (scores from open play) Scotland 16 - 22 England (points) See what I mean? Stupid game - its like deciding a football match by the number of yellow cards.
Window Cleaner Posted 13 March, 2011 Posted 13 March, 2011 Really scratchy game, both sides will have to get a whole lot better before the world cup and England in particular need to find a scrum half.Too many handling errors...awful spectacle really.
