'13 WC | Group C | Scotland 30-30 Italy | Workington

[Springs]

Any reason we have someone singing the Scottish anthem? I thought usually it's just bagpipes and the team/crowd sings it.

And now there is a sun shower

Jesus, that sun

Between Henry Perenara and David Woods, this game is up against itself.

Another advertising board attacks a player.

The scenery in the background is awesome!

Good to see most of them have learnt the anthem second time around.

They put up a video after beating Wales of them celebrating in the sheds all pelting out the anthem. They certainly knew it during the qualifiers. They were probably too focused or something in game 1 not to sing it but now trying to prove they do know the anthem. Looked like maybe Mantellato was trying hard to pretend to mime but rest were good haha

Shut down Guerra and Scotland win. I don't really see why people think this Italy side is good. They struggled to get over Wales who as we saw today would be close to the worst in the tournament.

It's really pleasing to know that they are proud of their heritage

Matty Russell looks fantastic

 

[vamosrafa]

Yep too bad titans let him go back to super league

 

[Storm13]

thought they were about to miss the ball on the ground then

 

[vamosrafa]

No way that was a try.

 

[vamosrafa]

Ah now I see it

 

[Bovrick]

Matty Russell could well be a future star for Scotland! If he just removes the crappy errors from his game he's always been a surprisingly strong and quick broken field runner.

 

[tomdl]

Are these fields about 75mts long?

 

[vamosrafa]

What really lets Italy down is their half combination. The scots have a world class half/hooker combination.

 

[Bovrick]

Looking forward to seeing the USA against a proper attack next round, Scotland are just a great example of the difference a decent spine makes.

Obstruction?
