In education we call it differentiation. Judge people at their level.

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Dell is off for the game now... unless ITV simply aren't specifying whether it's for HIA or not.

Shit. Any remotely serious injury to Dell is going to be a problem.

We've got a semi-professional Ayrshire Bull to call upon.

We do realise we have to keep going for another 63 minutes right? Started very well but this is turning into 7s again already.

We really need a try to show for this "dominance"

Yep. This is a crazy amount of work for only 3 points to show.

Good kick, Harris!

I had typed out a message about how little I am “feeling it” at the moment, not just about Scotland but about professional sport in general, but thought that would be too negative. Come on, Scotland.

Utter shit as usual. Samoa have done NOTHING. Any other tier one team would be 2-3 scores ahead by now.

Are you not aware of the new multiplier rule for any scores off strike moves involving more than 35 passes?

Bonus points available if you bounce it off the floor.

I like our hot potato rugby. We could just be being shit, but we are have turned our collective back on those days from last week and we are now entertainingly shit.

Just need some forwards coming onto the ball at pave every so often. Every time the forwards get it, stutter and look to throw a 50:50. The backs can create if they have just a little more space and momentum

Neat little move gains Samoa 50 yards with minimal effort.

All they need is a bounce of the ball in TNM's favour and they're leading the game. Despite being dominated in possession and territory and every other attacking stat. It's not acceptable.

Samoa's tackle completion rate 79%. That's a bit shit.

They've been training with shampoo covered balls. Have a bit of respect.

I had thought after the first 10 mins that we had changed our play for the better, but no we havent.

1 phase after a scrum and our defence is in absolute disarray. How is that possible? Ritchie saves the team with a turnover.

He's recoiling from the stench of 10 tight forwards in 30-odd degree heat and a billion % humidity.

Why does Maitland think he's faster than Graham? Plus Graham would have cut inside anyway like he always does when he's about to get shepherded out.

Maitland has gone a bit wild recently and he's normally one of the calmer heads.
