It's a lazy thread, as well this game feels like it has minimal interest and is a foregone conclusion.

Will be interesting to see how Kiwis play on a narrow field in the cold...you would expect the Kiwis to struggle in those conditions. Would be good to see Scotland cut out those 20 min periods where they concede 4-5 tries.

The kiwi public general love supporting the under dogs, so it is getting a little publicity here.

Interested to see how the rookies go, i really rate Joseph Tapine and David Fusitua has been scoring unbelievable tries this year in the NRL

Will be interesting to see how he goes as his form this year has been very average. There is a young Kiwi dummy half coming through called Brandon Smith who this year was signed by Melbourne Storm to replace Cameron Smith when he retires in 2018. Think he is 21 years old but will be interesting to see if he gets much game time next year in the NRL to push for higher honors...Also have Manaia Cherrington who was at the West Tigers has signed with the Sharks next year to replace Micheal Ennis. So it looks like we have two good prospects coming through which i would assume one will be selected as back up for the RLWC.

Its a position that NZ has struggled in and have been very luckey for the past 8 years with Luke. But as we saw this year during the ANZAC test when Luke was dropped, there is no other quality dummy half at the NRL level.

Nothing says Scotland rugby league like the anthem belted out in thick northern English accents in Workington.

Can we not get that negative that early for one 4N thread?

You forgot that the lawnmower broke

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Good set scots

 

[Burns]

Scotland throwing everything at NZ, exciting stuff

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Scotland winning the possession is great but it also makes them look crap in that they haven't scored off all of that

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Fusitua vs Baby Coote

 

[carcharias]

Tough call on Coote
Your arm with the ball touches the ground any other time and you're tackled.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Lol Kata can't pass like a centre
