Kiwi here. Man, that is an excellent performance from the Scots, I’d love to see them in a WC Final in ‘19. That rolling maul at the end is an excellent example of basic team play that wins matches, I could see Scotland capturing the hearts of the tournament. Bring on 2019!
Wales took on Australia and got slaughtered. Scotland almost shocked NZ but a mistake in final minute saw NZ narrowly avoid humiliation. This week. Scotland slaughtered Australia. Wales kept near NZ in points but were always the weaker side the majority of the match. Do love Wales but something needs to change. IMO, they need to spend more time on tactics instead of fitness. Need to be faster getting the ball out the ruck.
g-zes Deuce it’s a change in world rugby though, no longer does the Southern Hemispheres dominate, but Scotland getting stronger it only builds us as a United Kingdom stronger. Hopefully we (Scotland) keep improving and getting stronger. Wales Ireland and England have always been the stronger sides but now Scotland can compete it can only be good for us all. Unless it’s the six nations of course.
Huw Jones after 11 caps is already one of our greatest ever Centers. Just look at who he has scored tries against. 3 against Australia, 2 against England and 1 against the NZ. At 18 he moved to South Africa and quickly started ripping up their league. He was joint top try scorer in the South Africa in 2016 and scored 2 tries to win his side the league final in 2017. After 5 years in South Africa where he became one of the best players in South African rugby he came back home this November to sign for Glasgow Warriors. If he is this good right now for us just imagine how good he is going be for Scotland when he starts playing alongside his Scotland Center partner Alex Dunbar(who is also a very good player) at Glasgow on weekly basis. We may well end up having on of the center partnership's in the world. I knew from when I first clapped eyes on him what a special player he could be when he scored 2 tries and also prevented an Australian try to win match of the match despite being on the losing side in only his second appearance for Scotland last year. Over the past 12 months I have become even more convinced of his abilities and having watched some of his highlights in the South African league it would not surprise me if he is regarded as the best center in the world very soon.
Have no idea but can't be a coincidence having two Scottish Jones in the squad. Know Huw's father is welsh and mother scottish so may be the same for Lee
No Lee Jones is from Selkirk, Huw Jones is English. I’m delighted to get the win and the game had a great atmosphere. But it is disappointing to see so many non home grown players in the team. I make that 9 in the starting XV alone. Is this a sustainable policy for the future?
Huw Jones is Scottish. He was born here and then moved to England as a child and went to School there before moving to South Africa. He has no English parentage so is no more English than he is South African. He can qualify to play for England as he lived there for over 5 years in the same way he can qualify to play for South Africa but that doesn't mean he is English.
No I think he is English. He only lived in Scotland for a bit as his parents were teaching at Watson’s in Edinburgh. But the point is he isn’t a product of the Scottish rugby system. Don’t get me wrong I love seeing him play for us!
They said Huw Jones was too small to be a rugby player. He went to Southern Hemisphere and ran over Ma Nonu and Nonu said this guy is a special player.
From almost beating us to dropping 51 points on the wallabies.. Bravo Scotland 👏👏👏👏 you lads are doing bloody awesome!! cant wait for the next test match against yas From an diehard All black fan
DVN wtf is your problem mate? you gotta give credit where credit is due and as an NewZealander im giving you props.. i was actually happy when the likes of ireland and the lions beat us as it kinda sucks seeing world rugby like it is .. so mate you got the wrong impression of some of us fans tbh but anyway hope ya team keeps us the good work 🙏
Amazing atmosphere at the game and bodes well for the 6 nations with England and France at home! But can we Scottish fans please stay modest in victory - as a regular attendee over the last decade you never know what’s around the corner!
I think I'd rather have the All Blacks playing in the Six Nations. At least then it'd actually be a good game to watch if this is what happens to the Wallabies and the Springboks.
LIGER ZERO 2015 Scotland was just the start of this brilliant team that we have got now. It was a good game and Scotland were leading. The ref made one stupid mistake which cost us the games. Scotland were the better team if you take away the mistake. We can't change what has happened but what we can do, is focus on the 6N, the friendlies and then the next World Cup🏉.
The quick thinking of Finn Russell at 4:47. Just looks to the right, sees an opening in the wallaby defensive line, and acts immediately. Absolutely instinctive playmaking talent. He'd make a great cavalry commander in the medieval era.
Scuba Steve we smashed Australia don’t take that away from us and we lost stuart hogg our best player. Kepu wouldn’t have made a difference we still would have won if they had him for the rest of the match
I disagree. I reckon we'd have won the game either way, but McGuigan stepped in to replace Hogg and did exceptional, scoring two tries of his own. The players could also use the mentality that they were playing for Hogg.
Bien joué scotland I'm french and I'm happy to see a team very strong. It's going to be hard to beat you on the six nations tournament. Infortunetly our national team has just conceded a draw against japan.... the time is serious...
Great to see the boys driving the ball as years ago we were too light but the sheer strength o this pack is superb , well done lads ,Geordi a proud Scot
Laidlaw getting injured was the best thing to happen to us for a long time. Whilst not the best of players his goal kicking was so great it was very hard to drop him meaning the far superior player Alli Price never got his chance. Right from the Wales game he showed what a quality player he is and now we have a quality scrum half we are brilliant at resetting and attacking after the breakdown. For the six nations I would play Hogg at full back, Russell at Fly Half, Jones and Dunbar in the center, Price at Scrum Half with Seymour on one of the wings with either Visser, Maitland or McGuigan (who was phenomal today) taking the other slot. Finn Russell may not be quite as good at goal kicking as Laidlaw but Ali Price is the far superior scrum half and should start ahead of Laidlaw. For the forwards I would play Ryan Wilson at Number 8 with Hamish Watson and John Barclay as the flankers and the Gray brothers as the locks. I would then play either Brown or Mcinally as Hooker with Marfo and Fragerson as props. Good enough to win the six nations in my opinion.
Couldn't agree more! Looks like we have a great team for the 6 nations! I also think Jamie Bhatti is a quality sub for Scotland and having Greg Laidlaw will be good as he is far more experienced than a lot of the players and in my eyes is still a god.
Spot on! Price been a revelation. Much faster ball and quicker on his feet. Dunbar is one of our most underrated players absolute machine at the breakdown and does so much work off the ball. Was worried we would miss him today actually. I think this could be our year to rip the 6 nations and having england at home is great in aiding that. Also please not Maitland I don't get the hype around him at all, Jones Visser both better and McGuigan was class today as well
Well 7 of their tries came after the red, it was clear during the second half that the wallabies had just given up. Add the fact that Australia have been awful recently.... England have beat them 5 times on the trot now, it will be the usual Scotland or Italy battling it out for the wooden spoon.
Kylian Mbappé Nah, this Scotland team have something very promising. The fact that if they didn't have a knock against NZ right at the very end of the game in which they could have won, is pretty impressive tbh.
My favourite player is Huw Jones, I have seen him many times at my school as his dad is the head of my primary school. I have had lots of kit signed by him and I think he's a really nice guy and a great rugby player. Well done Huw.
Remember watching this live in Cardiff, it was a fever pitch. Great to see the Scots in full flight and what a great performance this was - from a Welshman :)
Well done to Scotland from England. A 6 nations with 5 of the teams in the world top 10 makes for a great comp and sends a message before the world cup.
doug clark thanks Doug it’s a refreshing way to look at world rugby, finally being able to compete against the Southern Hemisphere as an entire country is going to be nothing short of mesmerising, as a Scotland fan and rugby player myself I thank you for your positivity towards the home nations.
Well said! The gulf has massively closed in terms of how we fare up against SA and the Aussies, but the AB's are still miles ahead of everyone at club level and internationally. It would be so good if we could centralise the sport the way they have. New Zealand is literally a continuous conveyor belt of world class players... union is not a "posh sport" in NZ that it still is in many other nations. In Scotland, England , even in Australia, union is still very much a middle and upper-class sport at the professional level... it just means our talent pools are much shallower
You know some genius is going to pop up and tell you how many registered players England has vs NZ or that Scotland and NZ have similar populations blah blah blah
Team for six nations if everyone is fit: Backs: Full Back: Hogg Fly Half: Russell Scrum Half: Price Center: Dubar and Jones Wing: Seymour and Maitland/McGuigan/Visser Forwards Number 8: Strauss/Wilson Flankers: Barclay and Watson Locks: Gray Brothers Props: Fragerson and Reid Hooker: McInally/Brown That's 8 current Glasgow Warrior players - 10 if you include Wilson and Brown who even if they are not first choice will play a big part. The 10 of them playing together on a weekly basis from now to the six nations will give our side such great chemistry and unity and if they continue their winning ways a lot of confidence. Also the fact that all of them apart from Jones played under Townsend means not only do they have a working relationship with him but they also understand how to play the style he wants to play and all the methods, tactics and tricks he has to win a game which will be so important to us having a great six nations.Then you also have McGuigan, Maitland, Strauss, Barclay, Richie Gray and Reid who all played for Glasgow at some point whilst Townsend was in charge. We also have McInally, Watson, Marfo, Nel, Gilchrist, Toolis and Du Preez who are all likely to play some part (especially McInally and Watson who will likely start) who are all current Edinburgh team mates and Visser who played there from 2010 to 2015 which will be good for team spirit, chemistry and unity. Unlike England, France and Wales all our players know, play and win with each other on a regular basis which will only be good for the national side and give us a huge advantage going into the six nations.
Yep! I'd agree, that's a team that will inflict some damage... And the great thing is that the replacements are up to speed and fit in seamlessly. Can't wait for those first round matches in Feb! Something I'd point out that hasn't really been picked up on in the aftermath of our autumn tests... The form of Tommy Seymour.... He just didn't seen to be his usual confident blistering self and made a few rather costly errors... Still solid enough but, We really could do with him being up to speed with the rest of the guys and terrorising the opposition during the 6N.
Well done the Scots! Awesome team i believe.... regularly saw Hu Jones played for the Stormers over the last two years, awesome player - Don't see Scotland play regularly, but any day they put down Ozzy is a good day in my books.
Haven’t felt such immense pride in the Scotland team for a long time as this game and the week before, came so close to taking the scalp of New Zealand. Excellent form heading into what could be a very successful 6 Nations!
The Australian coach's comments (especially aftermatch) is an embarrassment to Australian rugby. Australian rugby deserves much better. Give Larkham the job, not only was he a great player, I believe him to be a far better coach than the present one.
I agree with you Dave. Cheika is always blaming someone else for their losses. OR he'll pin-point one moment in the game to bitch about. Aussie Rugby needs change....start with the coach. BUT, suppose they won't until after Japan 2019.
terrific to see Scotland playing like a tier 1 nation - just goes to show what the northerners are capable of with some decent southern hemisphere coaching. Well done
Scotland are 9/1 to win the 6 Nations outright on Paddy Power. If I was a Scot I'd be taking that bet; at the very least put a bet down that they'll finish top 2. Their fixtures are set up the right way for it. Wales away, then France and England at home, then Ireland away and finally taking on Italy in Rome.
Conor Murphy We can certainly make top 3. If we were Playing Ireland at Home I would say we were favourites. Id say the table would look like this: England Scotland/Ireland Scotland/Ireland France Wales Italy I think England wont win a grandslam though, I think they might be beaten by Scotland at Murrayfield, and the only way I can see Scotland winning the championship is if they win that game and beat Ireland away.
If Scotland don't make top 3 in the 6 Nations then I'd say the campaign would be considered a failure. They've made steady progress over the past couple of years and it's time to do it at tournament level. The issue they have is all their big games come straight away; no Italy in there to give key players a little rest. Gotta wonder what shape their squad will be in when they come to Dublin.
Ireland will be the most difficult game but if we can beat Wales and Italy away and win all our home games then 4 wins may be enough to win the the six nations crown.
Well done to Scotland well deserved win, what's up with Australia though these boys looked like they didn't want it at all shirting tackles all over the place they looked piss poor embarrassing performance by the wallabies?
Nah the Aussie's have went backwards for quite a few years... too many individuals. 3-0 whitewash by England a couple of years ago and they've not won a series against the AB's for about 15 years... they're nowhere near what they used to be
There is at least a hope that "les bleus (foncés)" can win the VI Nations tournament ! ;-) Scots have played the most generous and ambitious rugby for a decade. Now they are in position to beat the best teams. Be sure they have numerous supporters in France, particularly when they meet England !
Scotland have a whole new intention about their rugby, down to Gregor Townsend. It helps having top class players - Hogg, Jones, and my favourite player Hamish Watson - he will be world class. And I'm an England fan!
I'm starting to wonder if the wallabies win over the ABs in Brisbane was a fluke since they haven't done much since but when you're reduced to 14 men then 13 its near mission impossible.
Always amazes me that Scotland can even field a team in International competition when you consider there are only five million people in Scotland and comparatively few of them play rugby. Punch above their weight!
![USAB Showcase: CANADA vs USA [OFFICIAL STREAM]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/m9Cz3xsdDgc/mqdefault.jpg)
Unbelievable from the lads. Never been more proud. Probably our best and biggest win in modern Scottish Rugby.
Hehe not as good as last weeks win on England :)
@@tfl_supers5362 haha and after Italy it’s certainly not our biggest
Kiwi here. Man, that is an excellent performance from the Scots, I’d love to see them in a WC Final in ‘19. That rolling maul at the end is an excellent example of basic team play that wins matches, I could see Scotland capturing the hearts of the tournament. Bring on 2019!
Thanks man fingers crossed we can get to the semi anyway... our backline is the best it has ever been, so it's exciting to watch as a Scot
😥
Did they make it to the quarter-final?? Umm, the Japanese defeated these men in kilts at the World Cup!
This aged awfully
Yep, this aged like milk
Very well done Scotland! I was there at the game. I'm equally very excited and worried to see you perform at the 6 nations.
Love, an Englishman
Close vs the AB's, devastating against Australia. Well done Scotland, brilliant performance from this England fan.
Wow... Amazing rugby from Scotland... Best regards from Sri Lanka.....
Good job the Scots realy well played. Respect from a Welsh man .... Fantastic :)
thanks rasper you were unlucky today but just didn't take your chances the abs are some outfit
After what the ABS did to Wales, you need to put that respect somewhere.
Wales took on Australia and got slaughtered.
Scotland almost shocked NZ but a mistake in final minute saw NZ narrowly avoid humiliation.
This week. Scotland slaughtered Australia.
Wales kept near NZ in points but were always the weaker side the majority of the match.

He is amazing! Is Lee Jones his brother? He plays left wing sometimes.

From an diehard All black fan
53,actually.
NZ fanboys are everywhere, they should stay on their own highlights tbh
DVN wtf is your problem mate? you gotta give credit where credit is due and as an NewZealander im giving you props.. i was actually happy when the likes of ireland and the lions beat us as it kinda sucks seeing world rugby like it is .. so mate you got the wrong impression of some of us fans tbh but anyway hope ya team keeps us the good work 🙏
littlezit2 will be waiting 👌
littlezit2 your dreaming mate , all blacks are the best in the world
Amazing atmosphere at the game and bodes well for the 6 nations with England and France at home! But can we Scottish fans please stay modest in victory - as a regular attendee over the last decade you never know what’s around the corner!
Top performance from Scotland. Going to be an interesting six-nations.
Andy Arkell yeah English grand slam again
DocDanimal there's a difference between a grand slam and winning it
Andy Arkell I agree I can't wait for the 6 nations now
I think I'd rather have the All Blacks playing in the Six Nations. At least then it'd actually be a good game to watch if this is what happens to the Wallabies and the Springboks.
Crimson Hunter I know that's why I said grand slam 😂
Well deserved Scotland, you have been improving in leaps over the past two years. Good luck in 2019. From an all blacks fan.
nerdmannz thanks and we wish your luck in the World Cup
Justice for RWC 2015 semi final
quarter final
Joshua Groenewald oh yer. QF
True justice would be beating the Wallabies in the World Cup playoffs.
We could have been in the finals considering how well they had played.
LIGER ZERO 2015 Scotland was just the start of this brilliant team that we have got now. It was a good game and Scotland were leading. The ref made one stupid mistake which cost us the games.

I love Scotland Rugby. Much love from Fiji
Well done lads! You make my day! I can't wait until the March to celebrate for the six nations champions!!! Greetings from Greece.
The quick thinking of Finn Russell at 4:47. Just looks to the right, sees an opening in the wallaby defensive line, and acts immediately. Absolutely instinctive playmaking talent. He'd make a great cavalry commander in the medieval era.
Would've been 70 points if Hogg was fit!! #worstwallabiesever #sticktocricket
*Half the game and rightly so.
Brian Sergeant I totally agree
Scuba Steve we smashed Australia don’t take that away from us and we lost stuart hogg our best player. Kepu wouldn’t have made a difference we still would have won if they had him for the rest of the match
I disagree. I reckon we'd have won the game either way, but McGuigan stepped in to replace Hogg and did exceptional, scoring two tries of his own. The players could also use the mentality that they were playing for Hogg.
Scuba Steve no ones fault but the Wallabies.
Bien joué scotland I'm french and I'm happy to see a team very strong. It's going to be hard to beat you on the six nations tournament. Infortunetly our national team has just conceded a draw against japan.... the time is serious...
Great to see the boys driving the ball as years ago we were too light but the sheer strength o this pack is superb , well done lads ,Geordi a proud Scot
Laidlaw getting injured was the best thing to happen to us for a long time. Whilst not the best of players his goal kicking was so great it was very hard to drop him meaning the far superior player Alli Price never got his chance. Right from the Wales game he showed what a quality player he is and now we have a quality scrum half we are brilliant at resetting and attacking after the breakdown.

Couldn't agree more! Looks like we have a great team for the 6 nations! I also think Jamie Bhatti is a quality sub for Scotland and having Greg Laidlaw will be good as he is far more experienced than a lot of the players and in my eyes is still a god.
Spot on! Price been a revelation. Much faster ball and quicker on his feet. Dunbar is one of our most underrated players absolute machine at the breakdown and does so much work off the ball. Was worried we would miss him today actually. I think this could be our year to rip the 6 nations and having england at home is great in aiding that. Also please not Maitland I don't get the hype around him at all, Jones Visser both better and McGuigan was class today as well
fraz totally agree Bhatti was excellent
Chris McQueenie I agree, Maitland land just doesn't fit in the team unlike Visser who who we haven't seen yet? Is he injured?
Would you still have price over him ?
I'm Welsh and this scares me for the six nations
R Hirshi and hogg wasn't even playing
Consider yourself lucky. I am French :(
Well 7 of their tries came after the red, it was clear during the second half that the wallabies had just given up. Add the fact that Australia have been awful recently.... England have beat them 5 times on the trot now, it will be the usual Scotland or Italy battling it out for the wooden spoon.
Luc and Greig Laidlaw
Kylian Mbappé Nah, this Scotland team have something very promising. The fact that if they didn't have a knock against NZ right at the very end of the game in which they could have won, is pretty impressive tbh.
Anyone else notice that they missed the other Byron mcguigan try?
Yes I did
Yes
I did
They didn't I was there
Kirsty Jamieson I was too. The one where he scored in the corner. Look at 4:56 scoreboard is on 34 then changes to 39 on the next clip so they have
Fcking awesome game from Scotland! Well done fellas! Respect from this all blacks fan.
Horse Footrot +1 from another ABs fan
same here, Scotland damn near beat us last week.
Horse Footrot watchout mate some people dont like us abs fans giving them props 😂
horse footrot & rukaks thanks lads we might be playing each other at the world cup our group winners play the runners up of your group and vice versa
My favourite player is Huw Jones, I have seen him many times at my school as his dad is the head of my primary school. I have had lots of kit signed by him and I think he's a really nice guy and a great rugby player. Well done Huw.
Remember watching this live in Cardiff, it was a fever pitch. Great to see the Scots in full flight and what a great performance this was - from a Welshman :)
Scotland smashed them
Best performance I have ever seen from Scotland. These last two weekends have confirmed why there are hype and buzz around Scottish rugby.
Great win! Highlight reel is missing McGuigan's second try.
Oh is that beauty Murrayfield and Scotland you did amazingly well you deserve the win❤️❤️😎😀
Take that Cheika well done Scotland I’m a kiwi but bloody good to see them thrash the Aussies bloody well done,
Australian defense in the second half was pretty awful.
An amazing result Australia need to think about the behaviour of there players
VZN I HARIBO Australia need to think about the behaviour of their coach... Then their players.
Scary thing is, there was no Hogg or Laidlaw
Well done to Scotland from England. A 6 nations with 5 of the teams in the world top 10 makes for a great comp and sends a message before the world cup.
doug clark thanks Doug it’s a refreshing way to look at world rugby, finally being able to compete against the Southern Hemisphere as an entire country is going to be nothing short of mesmerising, as a Scotland fan and rugby player myself I thank you for your positivity towards the home nations.
I have direct relations from all but France so I am maybe more open minded than most.
Well said! The gulf has massively closed in terms of how we fare up against SA and the Aussies, but the AB's are still miles ahead of everyone at club level and internationally.
It would be so good if we could centralise the sport the way they have.

You know some genius is going to pop up and tell you how many registered players England has vs NZ or that Scotland and NZ have similar populations blah blah blah
Team for six nations if everyone is fit:
Backs:
Full Back: Hogg
Fly Half: Russell
Scrum Half: Price
Center: Dubar and Jones
Wing: Seymour and Maitland/McGuigan/Visser
Forwards
Number 8: Strauss/Wilson
Flankers: Barclay and Watson
Locks: Gray Brothers
Props: Fragerson and Reid
Hooker: McInally/Brown
That's 8 current Glasgow Warrior players - 10 if you include Wilson and Brown who even if they are not first choice will play a big part. The 10 of them playing together on a weekly basis from now to the six nations will give our side such great chemistry and unity and if they continue their winning ways a lot of confidence.

Merci l’écosse!!!! Enfin ici en France, vous êtes reconnu par tous les amateurs comme une très grande nation mondiale... et c’est tellement mérité!!
So Great!
Haven’t felt such immense pride in the Scotland team for a long time as this game and the week before, came so close to taking the scalp of New Zealand.
Excellent form heading into what could be a very successful 6 Nations!

It’s great to see that developing rugby teams like Australia are able to at least compete fairly closely with countries like #Scotland
lmao
Bahaha
terrific to see Scotland playing like a tier 1 nation - just goes to show what the northerners are capable of with some decent southern hemisphere coaching. Well done
Gregor Townsend is the head coach...
right didn't realise - how long has he been coach?
GREATTINGS FROM MÉXICO. ❤
Best game i've ever been too!! could have been another 20 points
Finn should be sneaky like that more often😜. It got us a try😊. This Scotland team have done incredibly well and I can not wait for the 6 Nations💪👍
Scotland are 9/1 to win the 6 Nations outright on Paddy Power. If I was a Scot I'd be taking that bet; at the very least put a bet down that they'll finish top 2. Their fixtures are set up the right way for it. Wales away, then France and England at home, then Ireland away and finally taking on Italy in Rome.
Conor Murphy We can certainly make top 3. If we were Playing Ireland at Home I would say we were favourites. Id say the table would look like this:
England
Scotland/Ireland
Scotland/Ireland
France
Wales
Italy
I think England wont win a grandslam though, I think they might be beaten by Scotland at Murrayfield, and the only way I can see Scotland winning the championship is if they win that game and beat Ireland away.
If Scotland don't make top 3 in the 6 Nations then I'd say the campaign would be considered a failure. They've made steady progress over the past couple of years and it's time to do it at tournament level. The issue they have is all their big games come straight away; no Italy in there to give key players a little rest. Gotta wonder what shape their squad will be in when they come to Dublin.
Conor Murphy We finished 3rd in 2013 despite only winning 2 games, if only it was that simple nowadays.
Ireland will be the most difficult game but if we can beat Wales and Italy away and win all our home games then 4 wins may be enough to win the the six nations crown.
England will beat Scotland, will be a tight match though. Scotland has stepped up its game.
The aussies just gave up
Do they not know what Pro rugby is like? Or is because they lost?
This is a bit similar to our NFL here in the States. Looks like an exciting game!
Well done to Scotland well deserved win, what's up with Australia though these boys looked like they didn't want it at all shirting tackles all over the place they looked piss poor embarrassing performance by the wallabies?
aussie always have bad attitude among in the team, man the scots take the opportunity well when sekope got red, that idiot deserved that.
A red card is what fucking happened
Nah the Aussie's have went backwards for quite a few years... too many individuals. 3-0 whitewash by England a couple of years ago and they've not won a series against the AB's for about 15 years... they're nowhere near what they used to be
There is at least a hope that "les bleus (foncés)" can win the VI Nations tournament ! ;-) Scots have played the most generous and ambitious rugby for a decade. Now they are in position to beat the best teams. Be sure they have numerous supporters in France, particularly when they meet England !
very impressive from Scotland.
Am loving their attacking rugby.
Did you ever see a better rolling mall try than the last Scottish try ? Absolute text book !!
Wow great game, can't wait for the six nations, well done scotland, very well done,..
This is great for 6 nation's rugby. Improved competition, the dif teams games can improve with this type competition
Nice work boys!!!!
This could be one of the all time great scotland teams
Sort the audio out!
Great game from Scotland! Quick question, what is the other song they play during the tries? I recognize 500 Miles, but what's the other one?
It's a Bay City Rollers song called "Shang alang". A cheesy song by a Scottish band from the 70s.
Cheers thank you!
Scotland you did amazing to beat Australia you completely deserve The win At BT Mirfield 😀😍😂
Brilliant...this looks like we could be competitive in the Six Nations!
Anyone know where to see the full game??
What a match
Great game.
I incredible!
Does anyone know the song that's played when huw jones scores?
Waiting for Cheika's reaction now!!
Imagine if an England coach had said that,bloody hell!
somerled he tried to take his head off
Have to say it was very unlike Kepu - he has had a very clean record before this
Scotland scored 41 tries in 11 games this year, amazing!
A convincing hammering,
Remember Scotland should have been in the world cup final if not for a ref's mistake.
TheRadFactor press F to pay respects tae our team
Scotland have a whole new intention about their rugby, down to Gregor Townsend. It helps having top class players - Hogg, Jones, and my favourite player Hamish Watson - he will be world class. And I'm an England fan!
Congratulations Scotland on a terrific win
how did the Tongan thor play in this game?
What a game a good Scotland and a shite Australia what more could u want
IDK a good contest maybe?
Missed Mcguigan's second try out here
👍👍👍
Brilliant, Scotland!
I'm starting to wonder if the wallabies win over the ABs in Brisbane was a fluke since they haven't done much since but when you're reduced to 14 men then 13 its near mission impossible.
daaaaaaaammmnnn
7:00 Awesome
Looking forward to a good game from Scotland against England this six nations
Scotland for the 2019 world cup!
I'm welsh you bellend, just supporting my Celtic brothers.
only takes one comment to spot an Englishmen
負けたね
yes all of my friends as aussies
Kepu should have been carded in the World Cup FInal as well.
Man that Kefu plays like a GRUB!!
dont they have double movements in Union?
3:20 Watch the Wallaby forward run and try to catch up with Maitland.. Hilarious!
Our defence wasn't brilliant. The Australian 2nd half tries should never have happened. They scored 4 which is a bonus point in the 6 nations.
Nice Scottland I’m a wallabies boy and I’m Aussie but good job scottland
Damn the Scott did some work on the Wallabies
Is 60fps too much to ask?
Always amazes me that Scotland can even field a team in International competition when you consider there are only five million people in Scotland and comparatively few of them play rugby. Punch above their weight!
Interesting sports as thrilling as t20cricket
shows you what difference one man can make, the AB's wouldn't give up two tries down with 10 to go
Scotland playing rugby as it should be played. I think Finn Russell is the key, he creates space for others. And Hogg was injured !
Well done the jocks ...love from 🏴🐑🏴🐑
Wales and Scotland are two of the fairest teams out there...from a South African
Ayy that’s me 6:01
Has to be our best ever win in rugby! Beat them down under thrashed them in Scotland! Still love the Aussies though! Great bunch of ppl
Well played Scotland - no flash in the pan - you boys are for real. Hopefully we can give you a better contest next time.
warren harrison cheers mate
Bravo au footeux
Aussies took a POUNDING!!!!
