[RDW]

This commentator is useless. As is what we are doing with the ball.

Considering going back to bed!

[KickAndChase]

Check PM.

The Scots looked like smurfs for a second there...

[KickAndChase]

Laidlaw Scott & Visser already looking good though

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Phew, he scuffs that one

[KickAndChase]

If he got that one it would have been taking the urine...

Fiji 6 - 0 Scotland

[Guest]

Argh! Could have been 0 - 9 there... Scotland need to get back on their discipline here or it's going to be a long day. Blair is cutting the ball far too deep after each ruck, hardly making any ground.

[KickAndChase]

I'm already sad. The kind of calibre that Scotland want to be ... they shouldn't have conceded those penalties and should be pressing in the opponent's 22 by now. Simples.

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Much better throw

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Move the feicin ball, Blair

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Wee Greeeeeeiiiiggggggg!

[RDW]

Great scrum half try Liadlaw!

Good score that!

[KickAndChase]

Thank GOODNESS.

That was epic back play. Well done lads.

Fiji 6 - 5 Scotland conversion to come.

[KickAndChase]

Every back not only touched that but made a half break at one point in that move. Promising stuff. Visser's offload was sublime.

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Didn't know he'd moved to the Warriors, happy with that, we could do with a back-up 9 instead of Henry!

[GLove39]

Laidlaw gets a try from close ranges, similar to his try against Wales.
Much better by Scotland

[Guest]

Get in! Lovely little try from Laidlaw, nice scrummy try as well. AND HE PLAYS FOR EDINBURGH NOT GLASGOW.

[RuggerRadge2611]

Thats better ! Visser certainly giving us ome impetus on that wing, making the break to set up that try.

[IanBru]

Thank Feick for that - it's not just the try, it's that little bit of composure in the red zone that we've been needing.

I think if we'd knocked on, I would have cried.

[KickAndChase]

4. Fiji's official country name is "Flying Fijians"

[RDW]

I'm just worried we haven't seen them with the ball yet...

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Maxy, you're not going thru them!

[KickAndChase]

Yeah Evans is our worst back it's actually true ...

Feel like we should score a try every time we visit their 22. And no yellow there is a little generous.

[RDW]

Great scrum boys!!! Penalty try!

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Thank feic for thack, thought we'd blown it - great scrum!

[KickAndChase]

Scotland demonstrate to Fiji that they can not only throw better, run better but they can scrum better too.

Fiji 6 - 14 Scotland

We're back, lads. We're back.

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

14-6, get on

[George Carlin]

Morning insomniacs.

Gray, Ford and Rennie carrying well.

[Guest]

Woo! TWO TRIES?? Good call by Fordy there.

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Good chase from Exe's new signing, Votu, at the kick off

[KickAndChase]

Woo! TWO TRIES?? Good call by Fordy there.

Perfect captain's call

[RuggerRadge2611]

Gutsy decision from ford for that scrum. paid off though !

My Round

[George Carlin]

Try Fiji! WTF!?

[KickAndChase]

Well I can *hear* a try ...

[RDW]

Well I think that was a try - it has turned into radio!

[KickAndChase]

I guess it's effectively Fiji v Edinburgh ...

[KickAndChase]

At least radio commentators are aware you're only listening so are more descriptive ...

[Guest]

What's happened to the picture? Bloody ESPN! Pressure was on there by Fiji.

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Try Fiji, we've left our tackling in feicin Oz!

[RuggerRadge2611]

great what happened there then?

[bsando]

night lads! my internet is too slow to stream the game due to being in highlands of Scotland. If anyone knows a link for watching a full replay of the game I'd be very grateful Otherwise i'll try find some highlights in the morning i guess.

Hope ESPN never get another Scotland game again!

Go Scotland!!!

[KickAndChase]

Ads? Really?

[RDW]

Eh, wtf?? Adverts??

[George Carlin]

Awesome coverage by ESPN. Well done boys.

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

Like the look of Brazilero!!

[KickAndChase]

I hate corporations. Come on you can't use no picture as an excuse to show ADS.

[KickAndChase]

Awesome coverage by ESPN. Well done boys.

+1

[RDW]

I'd have rather had radio than bloody adverts.

[Guest]

Yeah, cause after this sham, adverts really make me want to buy ESPN....

[KickAndChase]

Especially showing rugby fans FOOTBALL...

[AsLongAsBut100ofUs]

C'mon, not interested in Messi vs Brazil
