Damn!  Missed the end!  I'd only been half watching anyway as I was cooking and trying to sort stuff on the computer at the same time, so told the missus she could switch over to Strictly...  :facepalm:

Oh well.

Congratulations to the Scots. Got to admire their determination & guts - and it paid off.

Oh, you beauties!
Much as I like Aussies, and the country, they are insufferable at sport. Their comment about the UKs swimmers ("not bad for a country with not enough pools and no deodorant") says it all.


Can I just sneak in a mention for Shane Williams' try against the Pumas? Pure class!

I enjoyed Shane's try immensely, but he seemed to have the line at his mercy without having to sidestep about 6 players.

After 27 years, Matt Gitaeu must have decided that a gift was in order. 

Normal order will be restored next year.

I loved the way Martin williams unceremoniously shoved him across the line for his first try.  The second was pure class.

I don't think Australia were that shit.  The Scottish defence was good, very good.  Made for a very exciting match.  :thumbsup:

An amazing win for Scotland, I was screaming and jumping up and down in my hotel room on Saturday. I was taken to the pub earlier that afternoon by Mr Welshness and my bro-in-law because they were desperate to watch the England-Kiwi game. What a pile of poo that was. Then the pub graciously switched over to BBC2 when I saw the two Shayyne tries.

six of us were there ;D

The last 75 minutes were unbearable- actually was only 2 1/2 minutes

I have NEVER known such tension- it was fantastic

And all for £20/skull with a great seat :thumbsup:

At work today a chap broke the age old rule of talking whilst at the urinal.  The only reason I repeat the horror here, is because this thread is related.  It is controversial, and I must be honest, not my own work.

He reckons the Australian players must have bet loads on Scotland to win  :o

Sounds like England needs a Macgehan to coach them?

Any other ideas?

I thought the Scotland coach was Andy Robinson?

And England have tried him.
