This is why I prefer the 14-team RLWC format.

Scotland coming up against a wall tonight. Aussies mean business. 

Yep. 

Scotland’s defence is pretty weak though. Only Bell is trying to hit the ball carrier.

[Chanter]

Poor defending 3 on 1 there too

[Davo5]

That was poor defence from Scotland,3 on 1 & they never looked like stopping him.

Adrian Lamb looking distracted in the box.... Almost like he's seeing spots.....

Scotland have embarrassed themselves in this tournament tbh. I know that nobody expected them to be world beaters but they were terrible against Italy and look awful again tonight. Obviously there's a big gulf there and we all fully expected a big Australia win, but they are professional players and should at least be able to do the basic things well and be competitive.

You just know Monty Don has something in drafts ready to tweet at full time.

I reckon Newsum is by far our best British commentator.

Dave Woods is a good fella but cringeworthy and Bill Arthur is older than time itself.

[JimBronco]

Loving these big hits

[bratman]

Scotland have had chances to get into this game, but just too many errors.

Could do with him coming on with a plough at half time.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Scotland had a PTB in the Australian half! 

[Dave T]

They made it to the last. They made it to Aussies half. They passed it into touch. 

The conditions are shocking, test them with kicks when you get a chance.

They're a made up nation packed full of fellas that have never been to Scotland and would rather be playing England, Australia or NZ.

They are the biggest joke in rugby league.

[Desert Skipper]

25 minutes to get in the opposition half? Wow.

This is one of those nights where you find yourself looking at your feet in embarrassment even when you're sat in your living room on your own.

Wearing the wife's clobber again?

[Odsal Outlaw]

Can this now be the end of Scotland as an international team - absolute waste of time, they had little to no domestic game 20 years ago and have managed to go backwards since. I know there has been convos previously at RLEF about their ability to be a member … this now needs to be revoked.  They have no domestic scene with no signs of progression - so what’s the point in this?

Does Monty Don publicly not like RL or something? Or am I missing an in-joke on here? 
 

EDIT: Just googled it and found out why. To be fair, he isn’t exactly raging by all accounts, just stating his case.

Fortunately she hasn't got a Scotland shirt.

Worst defence ever in the history of civilisation

St James' Park once again proved that a certain subset of fans would far rather be angry at the wrong people than the right ones.

And what about the screen at Leigh, or Kingston Park. 

Who are customers meant to be annoyed at with basics not working?

Threw a tantrum because they shifted Gardener's World for this.

He’s a big Leigh fan so he’s in a bad mood

Cleary strolls in like he's playing juniors.
