Yes, same old shit. Heads in the shed and overpowered. Fucked 2 line-outs in the first 15 minutes, missed a load of tackles but at least we are playing some of the fastest shite in the world.

Did Darcy Graham get injured towards the end of the half? Hope not because he could potentially score against Russia.

Thought I saw him injure himself in a tackle.

We went to Portugal, I think, for a few weeks. But yeah, they looked fucked after 5 mins.

Oh, and re-starts are still shit. Does anyone go long against us? No, because they know we’re not very good at

a) catching,
b) mauling,
c) passing, and
d) kicking.

We particularly struggle at kicking as many of the players have bullet holes in their feet.

It's been shite. Even allowing for it being effectively pre season it is shite.

Have rarely heard such a bad commentary. The English and Oz blokes (Robbie and Simon somebody or other) are keeping up a non-stop-barrage of pure shiit, little of it to do with what's happening on the field of play, and totally non-analytical. Would do yer head in. Oh for a Bill McLaren.
Scotland need to get the finger out for the second half.

I would seriously consider playing the “b” team v Ireland and targeting Samoa if this carries on. However, a bit brighter this half so far.

I'm baffled at what is going on here. I thought the 2 month camp was all about fitness, fitness, fitness. Why were we dead on our feet after 5-10 mins?

This is more worrying than the other shite.

Hutchinson gets his 1st cap, replacing Taylor.

Fagerson sporting an impressive summer kite. Don’t think skin-tight sky blue is really his thing.

BTW Berghan is playing LH now. Not injury enforced - it's a choice. Bhatti was subbed for Fagerson.

He's now been replaced by Reid. Weird.

Did Berghan swap sides in the scrum there before he went off? Not sure if I imagined it. Think Fagerson (?) gave away a penalty.

Makes sense I suppose. No injuries of note yet?

The defence is a shambles there.

Not that weird. Likely to only take 5 props to the RWC so one will need to be an emergency option for one side. He was blowing out his arse too.

All bar 2 teams took 5 props last time. Seems to be the way teams will go.

Fagerson (Matt) running out the line there for that try was unnecessary. Glad Hogg’s gone off. No need for him to risk injury by further involvement in this shit show. However, him getting cramp after 55 minutes is a little odd/ worrying.

Hardly surprising that Barclay was replaced as he looked knackered and far from match fit, and he’s not the only one!

What will you learn in 10 mins? Give him half a game off the bench covering LH - a scenario he might find himself in.

How many turnovers have we coughed up? We look like we could get turned over at every fucking ruck.

25-3 now. It's crazy, we deserve to be so much further behind so it doesn't really hurt at all now. This is a 50-3 thumping. Could still happen, mind.
