USA penalty, in front, 38m or so out
Scotland 18 / 16 USA
Charge down, so close
Only 2 points in it again…
Scotland get desperately close to scoring…
Greig Laidlaw on for Henry Pygros… and Laidlaw also assumes the captaincy
@ Just For Kicks:
Yip as I said to the webmonster, HM is too inflexible and resistant to change and values loyalty above all else. His heart rules his head and when his favourite players don’t perform he sticks with them.
Try Scotland, WP Nel, against the base of the post!
90 @ The_Young_Turk:Yes, the guy deserved better. Gave everything for the game – laid his body on the line every time. You can’t blame him for his selection.
A truly great ambassador for the game, but probably won’t be remembered as such
Scotland 25 / 16 USA
Scotland need one more try for a bonus point… plenty of time left in the game
Can USA pull things back?
I doubt it… think all their stamina is gone, and the better side will now punish them
Scotland scrum penalty
Scotland’s subs doing it for them in the game…
Scotland hard on attack again.
Good steal by USA on the ground
@ grootblousmile:
Don’t think we’ll see anymore major upsets this WC!
Scotland penalty on the USA 22… I think they will kick it into the corner… yes they do!
105 @ The_Young_Turk:
Who knows… yesterday Wales beat England… it was an upset!
Scotland 5m out… what can they do… 3m
USA relieving penalty.
Good USA defence close to their own line
@ grootblousmile:
Not a major upset – Wales have beaten England many times before. Not on the level of Japan/SA or France/Tonga.
Finn Russell looking much worse for wear, as he is carried into the tunnel, all strapped up at the knee
Scotland penalty kicked to the corner again…
C’mon Scotland
@ grootblousmile:
Our only way to diminish our shame is to hope and pray that Japan dramatically improve and go on to upset a few more tier one nations in the future.
USA collapse the maul… arm is out… penalty, 5m out.
USA will get a talking to… serious team warning
@ The_Young_Turk:England beating Australia will be an upset
Thats the bonus point. What a tale of 2 halves
Bonus point try, Matt Scott!
Scotland 32 / 16 USA
@ Just For Kicks:
I think it quite likely that England will beat Australia.
