P****d off with all this negativity tbh years ago when either South Africa or the all blacks, I forget which put something like 150 on Namibia it was celebrated as a fine display, let’s enjoy Australia and stop slagging off this Scotland team, ok they’re going nowhere but some of these comments are out of order imo 

I'd never disrespect any side. I'm not the one on the pitch. Australia are fantastic to watch,it's mesmerizing. Scotland are up against the best. I remember that game with New Zealand and Namibia.

[JimBronco]

Scotland are shocking. And they took Gardener's World off for this?!

There is a strange thought amongst some RL fans that every single game has to be a classic. In an World Cup across all sports there are spankings.

Feel for Scotland,they can't make any yards at all. But this is Australia they're playing. As long as they can say they did they're best that's all you can ask.

That’s the point- I don’t think they can say they’ve done their best so far. It’s a shame. Hopefully they’ll come out of the second half with more pride and heads held high

Serbia, USA, Canada etc would be much better off if they were getting belted instead.

They scored a try

Apparently they did. It was scored by someone called Matt Donovan who's entire Wikipedia page is about 2 sentences long and that try is all it talks about.

Two penalties 

No, it was a try. Mikhail Mitrofanov also missed two kicks from two attempts in the match.

Sounds very Russian 

[Niels]

Australia look very efficient.

I don't think there is much Scotland can do, they havent the size or pace.

Because they didn't have a shed full of fake Yanks, Canadians and Serbs.

[Stuff Smith]

This is all true.

But if you were the BBC, wouldn't you have put this on BBC3 (or the red button) and PNG v Tonga on BBC2?

I've been following Scotland for years, and can honestly say I've never seen them give less than 100%. I don't think it's effort tonight, I think theyve lost their heads and are all over the place. 

Hopefully they'll calm down and even just try and enjoy it and get a couple of small wins in the 2nd half.

You've got to remember who they're up against. The gulf in class is massive.

Probably a spy. 

[JimBronco]

Scotland have made more yards going backwards than forwards. 

[bratman]

Aussie defence is unreal though.

[Just Browny]

Scotland beat Serbia 86-0 in qualifying remember.

[DoubleD]

That was pathetic defending on the first set after the break. They’re so disjointed
