Scotland v Argentina match thread

[RuggerRadge2611]

Well here we go. The game is nearly upon us. C'mon Scotland!

[Guest]

All the best guys

[Cymroglan]

Good luck Scotland

[Guest]

C'mon Scotland!!

[Taylorman]

All things being equal this is basically a knockout match with the victor going on to play the AB's in two weeks so you can bet Henry and his cohorts are watching this one with a microscope.
Im picking argie by 10 with that pack though a scot win could mean a repeat of the 1987 quarter final at eden park.
Lets go!

[SGD prop]

I hope to hell we do this

[Scottish Optimist]

Why do we have a choir and the argies don't? I'm guessing its the language barrier but Flower of Scotland sounds awful with the choir and no bagpipes

[eirebilly]

Come on Scotland, make it a great day and beat Argentina. I really hope that you guys get through this 'so called' easy group.

[Cari]

Go Scotland!!

The choir joined in the end Optimist...that's how the anthem goes. A long intro then the main bit.

[Scottish Optimist]

Aaaah stressing ou about this game so much.

C'mon Scotland!

[Shifty]

Cmon Scotland, I think Argentina are favorites and the rain will help Argentina ruin the game, but lets home Scotland can pull off something special.

I never like to see Robinson smiling, but I won't begrudge it today, the reward for winning this is a game against New Zealand!

[justified sinner]

Most exciting game of the cup so far. C'mon Scotland.

[rodders]

Come on Scotland!

[Shifty]

Scotland need to be careful they have a habbit of playing rugby in the wrong areas and conceeding points from doing so.

Hoof the bloody ball in the Argentina 22 and let them play their way out of it.

[rodders]

Good call Alyn!

[Cari]

Ignore them Paterson....good kick, just goes wide. Bum!

[Shifty]

Lobbe is looking wound up already, that;s a good sign he's their best player and has a habbit of getting himself binned.

[Cymroglan]

Good start Scotland

[Taylorman]

Scotland look more organised and intense.argentina look relaxed.

[Shifty]

That tap and go in their 22, lucky the referee called them back.

Please don't self destruct Scotland.

[Mad for Chelsea]

Scotland are losing the battle of the rucks. They need to get there quicker and with more numbers.

[rodders]

Alyn you called it. Scotland are playing into Argentinas hands. Whoever builds a lead will win this.

[Shifty]

It is to be expect, but Argentina will be knackered in the last 20, don't be suprised if Scotland are losing for most of the game, their best bet is a late win, provided they don;t leave themselves too much to do.

[rodders]

Awful kick. Not a great start from Scotland here.

[rodders]

Lovely from Evans.

[Notch]

The kickers aren't being respected so far, I find that quite annoying.

[Redrage]

Scotland are losing the battle of the rucks. They need to get there quicker and with more numbers.

Runners getting isolated as usual and some terrible passing has been our undoing so far. We were managing fine at the breakdown to begin with, but the wider it goes the less competitive we are when it breaks down.

[rodders]

Brilliant from Contepomi. I can't understand Scotlands tactics here. Silly kick from Lamont.

[Mad for Chelsea]

looks bad for Fernandez Lobbe

[Guest]

oh no poor Lobbe big blow that for Argentina. Think he landed funny on his foot when he jumped to compete for the ball.

[Dominic Dicoco]

With the way Scotland are playing with ball in hand, they should have some success in the last 20.

Good shout Alyn, pretty much how I see it going some of the Argies blowing already.

[Guest]

man I can't believe he's playing on. THis Argentinians are made of tough stuff I gotta say.

[Cymroglan]

Did not do Lobbe much good when the medic runs on the field and trips over him.

[eirebilly]

This sort of struggle was expected to be honest but i do feel that Scotland will have the fitness come the end

[Cymroglan]

Yes the game should open up later

[Mad for Chelsea]

get support to the breakdown already!!! how many turnovers is that?

[Dominic Dicoco]

Did not do Lobbe much good when the medic runs on the field and trips over him.

Missed that!

[Taylorman]

Cant get over these crowds.
Well over 300k through the gates this round. Scotland looking much more threatening now.
They need to make it count.
Like the look of evans. Very quick off the mark.

[Dominic Dicoco]

Scotland backs are doing well and slipping tackles. Just need the ball retention.

[Redrage]

Is it too early to say we are missing Rennie?

[Redrage]

What a take by De Luca!

[Mad for Chelsea]

Lobbe off. HUGE blow!

[justified sinner]

Great take by NDL

[rodders]

Scotland have butchered two massive overlaps and Argentina are dominating the breakdown. Lobbe going off is a big blow for Argentina though.

[rodders]

Turn over again! Scotland have to take points when they get into the Pumas 22.

[Dominic Dicoco]

Come on Scots. Lobbe off. Big blow for Arg

[Cymroglan]

How could Barnes miss that it was so obvious hands were used.

[Redrage]

How can barnes give that as a knock on - he is looking right at it. Clearly and Argie hand in there.

[rodders]

Penalty scotland
