4N- Round Three - NZ v SCO

[Foreign Legion]

Bloody hell had Scotland to beat NZ good odds... didn't think of the draw

Did Luke even play? Kiwis are done imo they will be relying on TMM who was invisible out there when he came on, he is no where near ready to be going against Aus or even England imo.

Scotland should've won that given how poorly the Kiwi's played.

Really need the intercontinental cup in between WCs. Scotland need more matches together against strong opposition.

Most of us don't like the grandparent rule. But even if it stays, meaningful tests will result in more publicity in scotland, take games to scotland, attract private and public funding, develop the domestic game.

Kiwis were absolutely shameful. Best for them if they don't even make the final, it would only make them look worse.

I dunno, I wouldn't mind seeing Aus put the cleaners through NZ again...Kidwell has been clueless so far.

Wow... didn't see this coming. Just a shame Scotland didn't win so we could see England in the final. Fingers crossed England win or draw against us. Wow that feels weird to say lol

Well done Scotland, biggest upset in international rugby league in decades?

Great reward for Danny Brough who could have played for the more glamorous England but has led Scotland for many years.

Getting a single point for Scotland is a bigger achievement than winning a single game for NZ. So they should celebrate. Massive performance when everyone was talking about whether NZ would beat them 30+ or not

I'm surprised they even know the anthem. I know Scotland getting a point is a big achievement in IRL I just wish there were more Scotsmen in the side.

Kiwis have responded to their failure by crying about the quality of the field. Just f**k off back home you clowns

 

[Perth Red]

Ha, that's a great whinge. "The field was bumpy", oh bless the NRL Prima donnas.

 

[Foreign Legion]

Next they are going to complain they didn't play in Scotland... anyway great game...

 

[Pommy]

To be fair I would complain if I had to go to workington as well. Two headed jam eating merkins.

To be fair the media questioned the ground before even the game played. Either way both teams played on the same field and Scotland used the field to their advantage...End of the day the Kiwis poor goal kicking in this tournament is hurting them.

I cant believe some of the media though.....crying about not enough quality sides in International league then we have a cracker of a test match where nearly all the tries were of a high quality, completion rate for both teams in the mid 70% (great considering the field and conditions) and now the media focus on how poor the Kiwis were not the fact we had the 9th rank team draw with the current (but should be second) first rank team.

Typical league media though....

Great result for international league. Who says RL internationals are a joke. Samoa had a good run in last years 4N
