Missed to the left
Lucky got away with that, too many mistakes creeping in for Scotland, oh man this is tense!
Only 20 minutes left in the match
Turning into a nightmare for Paterson
Knock under a high ball by Paterson
Attaking scrum for the Argies
Penalty Argies….
Contepomi goes for goal and this one is OVER
6 / 6
Come on Scotland can’t throw it away now
Drop goal by Jackson….. OVER!
Scotland 9 / 6
Oh yes!!!
Nice one Jackson.
Now lets Go Scotland lets Go.
Need a try here.
Exciting match but can’t see either of these teams troubling the Blacks in the QF.
Hehehehe
Kickable penalty for the Argies….
The weather at the Cake Tin is atrocious. The very stadium we will be playing the Aussies.
Well I think rain just may suit us more than the Wallabies.
Contepomi hits the upright… miss
Pumas kicking going to let them down in the end???
with 11 minutes to play, the Scots must be careful not to just defend a 3-point lead
@ grootblousmile:102 – NO man gbs. We need to be supporting the Scots here. If they win and beat England, it will be England to face Abs in the quarters. If it is Scotland or Arg who face the ABs it will be a walk over for ABs.
Penalty Scotland, senseless play by the Argies right wing…. too far out.
Marvelous touch finder by replacement Parks
Fortune is favouring the brave Scots!
Drop Goal by Dan Parks!
Over
Scotland 12 / 6
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyy Amorosino!
Amazing!
I gotta give the girly boys their due. They’ve ripped off their skirts and gone at the pumas balls to the wall.
Having said that, the Pumas score a great individual try!
Argentina 13 / 12
Ouch! Scotland fell asleep there. Arg get a great try.
Now it will be hard to beat Arg here in the dying minutes.
Really wanted Scotland to win this and beat England. That would make it a bit harder for ABs in the quarter. Eish, now just can’t see it.
Very poor defence but well done Argentina, can’t see a way back here
Only one point in it… a penalty will do for the Scots….
How is the Argies temperament ?
What do you all think. For Arg to be really competitive in the 4Nations next year. My feeling they need some players playing in the S15. I know they don’t have a team in the S15 but us here in SA/Oz and Nz should be looking to have a Arg in each of our teams to help them out. We do that they will grow a lot better for the next world cup. Also for our 4Nations tourney.
The Rebels and Force could take quite a few of their players. I know most of them are playing club rugby in France but they surely need to be playing here in the S15.
Arg were really good in the last wc though. The reason my my nic is Puma. Named it after their team for their great wc last time round.
Man really wanted Scotland to win here and then beat England. Would make for a more interesting wc.
On attack needing to score so why kick the ball away argghhh!
2 Players down… one from each side
Both look out cold…. head clash
