Sat 29 Oct: RLWC: Fiji v Scotland KO 17:00

[moorside roughyed]

Scotland have been great,Fiji have been pretty grim thus far. Credit to Scotland. Could be different in the second half but up to now Scotland have been great .

[JimBronco]

Scotland right in this and it could be closer if it wasn't for the missed conversions. Fiji really not impressing overall

I expected Lachlan Walmsley to sound like Rab C Nesbitt

I could barely understand him with that thick Scots accent.

Well Lachlan is just his nickname, he was christened Rab C Walmsley....

Isn't it 24-8 rather than 20-8?

Also think RFL need to get serious about getting an academy in Scotland. Just a few more full time players and Scotland would be in this . Having only 1 of the eight teams in quarters from Northern Hemisphere should really be a target to change and this give England some better opposition up here.

Outside Football, what other team sport really thrives North of the border? Curling, maybe?

Scottish Rugby Union's been around for over a century and can barely support itself. Can the RFL afford to throw what funds they have into apparently fallow ground, when Wales are probably a safer bet?

Haggis hunting, competitive deep fat frying, England hating and other lovely stereotypical sports...

Sru is a bit like superleague only really exists in a small part of the country. Football is prevelant but the standard ######. As for other sports, drinking buckfast tonic and deep frying food.

Ok, what on earth happened then ha ha....

[Futtocks]

Scotland giving this game a real go. Only 10 points in it on the hour!
