OomPB

7-1 bench.

The England test is 6 days away, so probably save his A team for next week.

Smuts

A truly bonkers team. I was legit laughing as I read through it.

Townsend preparing to face the Brown boks. No sorry this week we’re back to plan A. So much plan A that we’re bringing a whole new pack on at halftime to Plan A you even harder.

@Smuts is that Scottish numbering?

Mr Fish

That's a good Scotland team. Could be interesting.

@OomPB said in Scotland vs Springboks:

Just to piss off Matt Williams

Higgins

@Smuts said in Scotland vs Springboks:

Scots:
12. Sione Tuipulotu – Glasgow Warriors (28) CAPTAIN

Will his number ones consist of a traditional woollen tartan kilt or a floral one?

They’re so confident they dropped one of their South African wingers by the looks of things

sparky

5-0 for the Southern Hemisphere over the Northern boys so far this weekend. Can the Springboks make it a clean sweep?

sparky

Boks already ahead after 4 minutes. Mapimpi in. Terrible defence by Scotland.

sparky

Scott Cummings' YC upgraded to a 20 minute RC.

sparky

Finn Russell with a penalty. 3-5

Jet

Youd expect reds every game if thats the standard now.

sparky

Finn Russell with another penalty. 6-5.

sparky

Bitty, stop start game so far. Scotland hanging in there. South Africa looking a bit toothless. But a long way to go.

MiketheSnow

Brilliant vision and skill from Willie

So dumb from the Scottish halfback. SA haven't been great but have been so clinical when in the Scottish 22. If only we had Brown in the AB camp.

Red card was incredibly harsh. Imagine if we didn't have the 20 minute red, that would have been curtains for Scotland.

@sparky still trying to get my head around how that’s a RC ..about as soft as they come

sparky

Boks well ahead at half time. 19-9. Three tries to none.

sparky

@Steven-Harris It was a borderline YC at worst IMHO. 20 minute Reds at Test level sadly are going to mean more Reds.

There is so much worry around the UK about making the game "safe" and the possibilities of future litigation.

sparky

Scotland the better team in the second half so far.

sparky

@MiketheSnow SA's goal line defence is strong to be fair.

MiketheSnow

Russell is a handbrake IMHO

Too showy

sparky

Another Scottish penalty.

Scotland 15 SA 19.

Not sure taking the 3 now is the right option when SA is down to 14.

sparky

Xander Fagerson having a massive game for the Scots.

sparky

South Africa going for goal on a penalty. Eats up more time on the YC.

sparky

Knocks them two scores ahead as well. Over.

Scotland 15 SA 22

sparky

SA back to 15 men.

sparky

Scotland 15 SA 25 with 6 minutes to play.

MiketheSnow

Scotland will rue taking the penalty instead of the scrum

sparky

Looks like South Africa have scored a 4th try.

sparky

All over. Scotland 15 South Africa 32

Southern Hemisphere 6 this weekend, the Northern Hemisphere 0.

MiketheSnow

4 chances, 4 tries

That’s why they’re winners
