Skotte is lojaal aan hul span, gee nie om hoeveel keer hul verloor nie, pawiljoene altyd vol en jy hoor nooit hul boe hul eie spelers nie, respek !

The_Young_Turk on 9 February 2013 at 4:31 pm

Wow, Scots have even brought canons to help them against the Italians!

Is daardie Visser van SA, van die Sharks of van die see ?

The_Young_Turk on 9 February 2013 at 4:35 pm

Saffers should support the Italians as the number of saffers in the Italian team outnumber the number of saffers in the Scots team 😉
15

The_Young_Turk on 9 February 2013 at 4:38 pm

Both teams eager to run the ball. Hope Boks are taking note…

grootblousmile on 9 February 2013 at 4:41 pm

Orquera’s attempt at goal is off the post and missed… scores still 0 / 0 after 8 minutes
17

The_Young_Turk on 9 February 2013 at 4:41 pm

Pace is frenetic so far – not as polished but certainly maximum committment from both teams!

grootblousmile on 9 February 2013 at 4:43 pm

Colours of the different team shirts a bit similar… not too badly so theough.

Totally new strips by both sides

The_Young_Turk on 9 February 2013 at 4:45 pm

@ grootblousmile:
But not a bit of pink anywhere…. seems that pink is only popular among “certain” teams 😉
20

grootblousmile on 9 February 2013 at 4:45 pm

Silly little kick up midfield by Orquera… punished well
21

The_Young_Turk on 9 February 2013 at 4:46 pm

Italians mistaking this game for football….

grootblousmile on 9 February 2013 at 4:46 pm

One can wear pink… it’s when the heart is too pink that you have a problem… hehehe

Scotland penalty, near the 22, right in front

grootblousmile on 9 February 2013 at 4:48 pm

You would know….

The_Young_Turk on 9 February 2013 at 4:52 pm

Botes moet mos sommer met Pyper die taal praat man en vir hom se hy moenie die Italiaaners opblaas nie.
28

grootblousmile on 9 February 2013 at 4:54 pm

Interesting game so far.
29

The_Young_Turk on 9 February 2013 at 4:54 pm

Must say it’s lovely to see how much the Italians have improved their running rugby. Just a year ago they were absolutely useless. Seems like there could be hope for the Boks if only our coach would try it…
