Ha. Nice try.

Laidlaw thinking “not sure I’ve got the pace for this, better give it to a lock.”

Fagerson looking good and Darcy Graham is basically our version of Watson in the backs. Fights so hard for everything.

Fagerson’s fielding and footwork off the restarts is good, though he’s not been under a massive amount of pressure with the catch.

They’re going deep (makes a change for our opposition) and when we bring it out our 22 it makes it difficult to hit touch as a clearance. However, things seem to be going well.

Yep. Clearly want to pressure or lineout or leave is running from our half.

Just watched our first try - dirty bastard taking out Laidlaw after he passes to Toolis. Should have been a yellow!

Great minds...

Maybe that’s the last week before we go. Fuck, shit, rape. Piece of piss, lads.

Barclay so shocked to have the ball thrown at him that he just flings it at the floor?

Decent half!

Nobody doing their cause much harm. Fagerson playing well - looks strong. Will be good to see how the replacement front row fare.

We’re holding up in the tight a bit better than I thought, but the plan to get it out fairly early and run the Georgians around is the right one.

Calm, composed and patient so far. Good half of rugby.

As others said, Graham butchered a try and boy was it a bad one. Hutchinson scoring a few phases later doesn't make up for it. Graham had 2 men outside him with the defenders covering him from the inside. Been very good otherwise.

Anyone needed to find an alternative to the awful premiersports stream? I assume any illegal streams would be duplicating their's anyway?

Will definitely be wanting my money back.

Johnson just working his way back up to speed? Didn't see any injury.

Jones or Hutchinson at 12?

Hello. Early evening kick offs have their benefits then.

He has received some crap, but he should have finished at least one of the two opportunities I can remember.

This is good practice for the forwards - need to avoid the penalties.

I don’t think there was. Commentator mentioned e came into the game after an ankle injury. Suspect they just want to give Jones a shot and protect Johnson.

That try is on Russell IMO.

We were in their half, on the attack and ready to go for the Jugular. He goes for an idiotic crossfield kick that goes out on the full, next thing we know we're defending in our 22 for 10 minutes, lucky to avoid a yellow and they force their way over.

What was ‘next thing you know?’ I missed it. I saw the kick and that was over hit, but it’s hit fault they then went most of the length of the field to score?

Saying that, I don’t know why he’s still on the pitch. Seems pointless.

Similarly Watson. See how Fagerson goes at 7 for a bit.

Also why didn’t the ref go to the TMO? The position of the ball AFTER you’ve pryed the bodies away is irrelevant surely ?

We let Russell kick? Wow. Didn’t get Kinghorn or Strauss or McInally to do it instead.
