Craig 100% but that is not all they need to do on the field. How many successful rolling mauls were there? How busy did they keep the opositions tight 5 ? The times they were involved on attack how affective were they ?
The Irish were over/on the off-side line for the entire game, why didnt we drive up the middle with our forwards ? There was little or no room for our backs to move in and we needed the forwards to pull in more defenders.
Enough Craig ?

Correct Craig, but those days are long gone.
When you play for the purse and not the jersey I have a problem. Take WP now against Saracens again just a nothing game but a good pay day.

Its as if Scotland don't exist in the british media. Hardly a mention on sky news or the papers after their great win over Argentina, a side that SA struggled to beat this year. The All Blacks will win next week but its going to be close as the Scots are now playing with great will and confidence. Unfortunately as you say neigh today its all about the dollar. I see no harm in paying the players well as they do entertain us. I can see SA only winning the match against the Italians on this tour.

I think moose was watching the same tv channel as Neigh. Don't know what game you watched and on what channel but most (all) rugby reporters and myself watched the game on 201 which was the SA-Ireland game!
It looked like the Irish scrum had 1 forward gear and 3 reverse! Stole so many of their lineouts that they stopped even jumping1! :whistle:

Two swallows dont make a summer and neither does line-outs and scrums make for a good performance. Points on the board does that, we were seriously out-played in all other facits of the game by the Irish.

WE did watch the same game however twice in there 25 on the attack Bismar goes in from the side in a loose scrum just to give a penalty away thats why I said he should know his rules, other than that I am sure we will be much better on sat, and the amount of penalties we gave away Bottom line NO DISCIPLINE or motivation
Have a good day

Moose, you have to take in mind that Craig sees nothing when one of his beloved Sharks messes up. I think that from now on I will be calling Craig, Arsene Wenger, because he did not see that.

I did,I did see it, but seeing Ireland going in reverse in 3rd gear helped me forgive him a little bit!
