NFR - Scotland v England RWC

I know its only rugby but its rare seeing Scotland beating England in anything so at half time, I'm quite enjoying the viewing this morning. Scotland much more intense and just look like they want it more, Wilkinson obviously missing 9 points but if Scotland look more aggressive at the breakdown and more of a threat. If only Scotland can win by 9pts or more!!!!

In addition to Wilkinson leaving his shooting boots in Blighty, the other interesting stats are that during the first half England spent just 1 minute 50 seconds in Scotland's 22, and have lost half of their line-outs.

6-12 now...

I have to admit, I love the camera angle from on top of the scrum, you get a much better view of the scrummage, the side angle is just so hard to see what is happening

Compelling game... Not pretty but very engrossing, and finely balanced. Scotland need the try and conversion to be sure of staying in. 5mins left.

Ashton try!!

Burt · October 01, 2011, 10:12:28 AM

And Flood converts.

Burt · October 01, 2011, 10:12:48 AM

16-12 now.

aussierod · October 01, 2011, 10:13:28 AM

Game over!!! Will be some very disappointed Scotsmen up here today... Time to put my Aussie guernsey back on

I feel sorry for Scotland...they certainly gave it a go.

They need Georgia to beat Argentina by 8 points to remain in the competition.

Can't see that happening.
