2 min to go, Scotland hard on attack. Drop?
Scrum Scotland, just out from Italian 22, in the middle of the field. Hogg for drop, I am sure
Last chance saloon
Ref’s whistle – or not – will decide the game.
ITS OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, Weir takes it Scotland take the lead
And Scotland scores a brilliant droppie and surely that’s the game!
Quick restart, and Scots kick out, and Scotland take the match in the dying seconds, gripping stuff, Beanie going mental!!!!
Congrats Scotland, well deserved!
@ Just For Kicks:
Un abbraccio bella, brava scozia
Wow, how exciting was that, back and forth from both sides, either side could have taken it, ball just rolled for Scotland today
@ The_Young_Turk: Was a great match in the end, purely for edge of the seat stuff. Ball handling was atrocious from both sides, but had me gripped, thats for sure. See you all on the next thread
@ Just For Kicks:
Congrats Beanie!!!
