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

The viewer will be gutted 

[Davo5]

Wow that was pathetic from Scotland,that record WC score against Russia could be under threat tonight.

[Gerrumonside ref]

On the sly there’s been a few Aussie errors as we rage at Scotland 

[MattSantos]

Jake T and RCG are what I thought they were. Just ok. 

[Dave T]

Yeah!!!!! 

Scotland in Aussie half!!!!

Wooooo!

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.

35 to go.

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?

That's the issue. Get rid of them until they make real progress developing the game.

They're a joke. They might get lucky with a Danny Brough or whoever has Scottish ancestry... But we're kidding ourselves.

Knowing rugby league though, we'll extend the eligibility rules to great, great, great grandparents just to throw a tournament together.

 

[Old Frightful]

That sums up this game, absolutely awful.

I watched the build up in the "Scotland" camp and it was ridiculous, they're simply not Scottish.

It may well be around three figures from what I've seen.

Worst defence ever in the history of civilisation 

Maginot line? This Scottish defence certainly has a lot in common with it. There are massive holes in it that the enemy are just strolling through unopposed.

Meh, I'm old enough to remember David Campese.

Cmon Scotland!

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Compare Scotland ‘s performance so far to that of Wales, Jamaica and others- very poor . I’’d really like them to do well-an honourable defeat or even an honourable hammering. But this is disappointing.

Wooooo!

 

Which predictably led to an Aussie try

[JonM]

Maybe the plan is to give Australia several weeks of unopposed training games before they come up against NZ?

[Just Browny]

This game makes the case for booking a few grounds with, erm, heavy pitches for complete mismatches. This could be a thousand.

[MZH]

Absolute laughing stock.

With the best will in the world NZ could do this to Jamaica tomorrow.

[JimBronco]

Aussies could well get 100 points. Think my bet on Scotland to lose by less than 64 points is well and truly...yeah. 

[Hughsehhh]

The only thing that will save Scotland from a record score will be missed kicks 

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Addo Carr starts on his knees and still beats the defence. I think they should tie his legs together for the second half

That Workington pitch was a good leveller versus NZ a few years ago.

Can't remember the last major tournament where they don't start rusty for a couple of games honestly.

[DavidM]

Not being able to catch , tackle , kick or make any ground doesn’t help when youre not very good anyway . Believe me , I know

I reckon Aus could put the same score on Wales or Jamaica to be fair.

It's just daft that we're continuing with the Scotland and Ireland myth.

I'd rather have the US or Serbia in the competition with American and Serbian players.

Let them lose by 200, they can go home and tell people they've played against special players.

[Chanter]

Awful. The only good thing about Scotland is their kit.
