Ah, gotcha.



It's a fair point. I suppose the risk is that many potentially great tries could be ruled out by an incidental "brushing". Last nights was unusual as the flag sort of helped, but it is rare.

Hard not to feel for Scotland here. Will be 100 by the end.



They’re just too big and strong. Not really need for any skillful rugby from Australia because even their backs are bigger and stronger than the forwards.



Pure athletes.



The level of conditioning these players must go through.



I know it’s not the same but I do hope there is a huge focus on improving the players as athletes in our pre season. Every time a player hits the line the legs are just pumping.

Get some Scottish teams in SL to improve their National team, it’s the reason we have French teams in our leagues?

Big miss match but Scotland did themselves no favours with multiple errors between that 1st minute one and that 89th minute one.

This Scotland team are not the weakest ever to play in the World Cup but so far they’ve been well beaten by Italy and shown how to play by the Roos…



In the modern game teams who get on a roll can pull in big scores… we have been both victim and beneficiaries of that at trinity recently. That it happens is no reason to panic and pull up the drawbridge …



I think this expanded WC has been fantastic… and will inspire some in Scotland to take up the sport… and maybe even some administrators and people who will build leagues … already we are seeing the benefits In Places like Jamaica and Greece… blossoming leagues in Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana and Kenya vying to fight for a place in next WC… they won’t grow the same if all that is in offer is an emerging nations competition… world cups/ commonwealth games/ Olympic Games… the world stage is what motivates interest and investment … and we can have the best sort in the world but without that we have no market and minimal growth.



Be brave .. the ‘22 versions of Scotland, Italy, Greece and Jamaica are the vanguard of the future.

That Fiji hooker looks ok

The scrum half doesn't look too bad in this game

Well more than ok to be honest, man of the match

The French need a SL comp of their own to bring in more player choice

Another one-sided game getting boring now

England are not helping themselvesb

That French kit would make a decent Trinity kit. Get rid of the Cockrell add the Fleur de Lys and Bob's your uncle.
