@ Pietman:
Looks like great weather in Rome…
Scotland handling much better, up to Italian 22, again
And Scotland waste a very good platform. Laidlaw to blame. Scrum Italy on their own 22
Cussitor replaces Laidlaw
Derbyshire and Botes on for Italy
@ The_Young_Turk:
Looks like Gansbaai, brilliant day here as well, glittering ocean and green mountain at the back of my little dwelling by the sea.
Italy fluff a good opportunity through poor handling and scrappy play. Scotland get ball up to halfway line. Italian throw in
@ Pietman:
Thought you in Saudi?
SCotland Scrum
What’s wrong, no try?
Great try from the set piece, but Walsh wants TMO = Possible obstruction and forward pass
Looks good to me
Great play Scotland!
Try given – Dunbar
Italy (13) 13/18 (3) Scotland (68 min)
Well deserved try, no problem with that. Italy have lost intensity and are just conceding this match…
@ The_Young_Turk:
Nope, back home on sabbatical, going to Saudi next weekend for two months, spit, spit, spit, faaark me McGyver, what a kuk place compared to the Overberg! But I still need to chase down some riyals, times are tough over here, e.g. petrol went up by about 70c in only two weeks, almost weekly increases.
Orquera on
Italy hard on attack, and a great try by Furno
WOW! Avante Italia!
Magnificent response by Italy with a lovely try!
Game on!!!!
Orquera slots – Italy (13) 20/18 (3) Scotland (71 min)
@ Pietman:
You lucky tho’ to have well paying work. The rand has gotten very weak, so it’s natural that petrol price would go up. You on the other hand will be earning more mandelas…
Very tight game now, could go either way. Scotland scrum
Scotland with the ball in Italian half. Gray doing the hard yards
Italian line out as ball goes into touch
Who’s going to take this one? Match will be decided in the last minutes
Italy mess up line out, Scotland scrum results on Italian 22
Some tired bodies out there as we go into the last 5 minutes
