Thats his point, mate.

What do you mean, he’s comparing Wales almost winning to Jamaica and Scotland getting battered.

Is the record score in a world cup the 110-4 Australia v Russia game from 2000?

How did Russia get 4???

[Dave T]

Whilst I agree with some of the sentiment, we can't just have a hissy fit when Scotland lose and want them kicked out. 

That wasn't the view when they lucked out with a few English and Aussies of standard and drew with NZ, or gave England a decent game, or played in a few of the best games of the 2013 WC. 

We have a lot of weak nations. We need to fund them and get them playing more and more.

Yeah. He's saying in comparison to Wales and Jamaica this is poor.

The amount of times I’ve seen people look stupid after predicting a win at the 30 minute mark, when it’s only 40-0.

It's a dangerous score line, similar to being 2 nil up in football.

You have misread it mate. 

[MZH]

Half time and the Scots have managed to keep it to a mere point a minute. Terrible advert for RL after some great games over the past few days.

Another example of why the World Cup has too many teams. Sorry but I just don’t understand what having a team full of Englishmen and Aussies labelling them selves as “Scotland” does for our game. They have no fans, offer nothing and get battered every week, Completely pointless side.

There are fans up here,wish there was more. Hard watch.

Hmm... Think I'm delayed on iPlayer

Its about a minute behind. I was watching on TV until 8 then Mrs. Goose's programme came on so stuck it on the tablet and saw the same Aussie try I'd seen a minute before again. 

[JimBronco]

I wish Vossy was commentating. 

[moorside roughyed]

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.

[Phil]

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

But Jamaica were terrible they got destroyed, Wales weren’t why are they getting classed together.

I hope Monty Don isn’t watching 

A few of the Scottish players aren’t either.

Wales, hahahaha, Wales almost won mate what are you on about.

That’s what I’m saying. A so called underdog who show commitment, skill, are well coached and mentally strong and focused. Regardless of quality of the opposition Wales had all those in abundance and Scotland have shown none. From what I’ve seen so far Wales round have caused Australia more problems and certainly the score would be s lot closet

Don't know which is more embarrassing, the empty stadium or the awful " Scottish " performance. This is doing the competition or the game as a whole no good.

88 to go.

Very disrespectful comments 

[Welshleaguelover]

I don't think this a bad advert for Rugby League to be fair. There's been some quality on show from the Aussies.

I think it should be a wake up call to the powers that be though.

99% of those lads won't be going back to Scotland to tell family and friends about playing against Nathan Cleary and Josh Addo Carr. They'll be going home to Western Sydney, Brisbane and West Yorkshire.

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

Isn't this what all the tier 1 v tier 2 games would look like if it wasn't for heritage players?

[Dave T]

Sometimes, let's not overthink it, or worry too much. 

Didn't many of us predict the Aussies would batter them? 

It is what it is, there is a gulf in class, it happens at World Cups.
