Difficult what to say about the result. :( :( :(

Heartbreaking yes - did the ref get to wrong ? don't know - should you be able to see out two minutes from your own line-out - yes, you should.

All that having been said I'm very proud of the squad - I didn't think they would go so close today.  :)

Said my bit on the other thread but it's a very young Scotland squad with much to offer over the coming years.

The consensus of many opinions was that Scotland were a little naïve for that final lineout....should have thrown to the front and played the game out.......

.... but the referee's apparently an unmitigated coward.

Running off at the end was disgraceful (if that was what happened -  I only had radio commentary to go by and the pundits were livid).

Not normally a big union fan but that was a great effort today by Scotland and really thought they deserved more. You should indeed be proud of them Highlander

New Zealand apparently have some very good whiskies Jacqui though, as I don't drink it myself, have never tried them.   
But they do have some VERY good wines I can vouch for!    ;)

Yes, love the N.Z. Wines.  He will have to be satisfied with them, because, I don't think I can get any N.Z. Whisky before next week.
Phil used to work for Shaw Saville a shipping line that travelled to N.Z. and he was very fond of New Zealand, so it has memories for him.
