That Oviedo call changed the game. The non call on Genge could've potentially made a major difference.
If TMO is going to back that far to give some a YC and ignore what Genge did.
Then how is that fair?

TMO consistency.
First half, Puma's line break. Puma 9 was trying to run support line. Before knock on Genge was clearly grabbing 9's shoulder slowing him.
No review, nothing. Should've been a pen & a YC.
Oviedo makes a slightly dodgy clean and 30+ phases later TMO goes back/reviews. 1/2

Down 19-17, 2-man advantage, crowd baying for blood and ... T
Pumas go for a standard exit from 22. Why?
Run at them, that is exactly what they did to Scotland in November so why change tactics.
England were ready to fold and Argentina decided to start playing safe.
Cost them the game.

Maybe it was all the travel bc that simply was not good enough in that first 55 mins.
Against a more organized team Scotland would've been 3-4 scores down.

ABs comfortable winners but still work to do.
Ireland better in 2nd half but always an uphill battle after awful first half.
Berry was .... poor.

Prendergast actually had a decent half. Fair play.

Prendergast actually had a decent half. Fair play.
Also, you can see the issue with playing Prendergast.
ABs are more than happy to run down his channel.
When they do it forces Ireland to bring in an extra player to help Prendergast.
That narrows up Ireland's defense and leave space/gaps out wide.

So far ... ABs well on top. Ireland struggling to contain them.
ABs routinely over the gain line.
McCloskey had his poorest half I can remember & Gibson Park giving him some good competition for the sucky award.
Ireland have to slow ABs' ball, if they don't this could get ugly.

Ireland after getting that try went full Scotland on the kick off.

U20s showed real heart but it should never have been that close.
Clearly better team, more physical & dynamic.
Only thing that kept Wales in that game was Scotland making poor decisions & basic errors.
Joe Roberts MOTM & superb Captain's effort.
Need to tidy up silly mistakes going forward.

4 tries in less than 10 minutes.
I'm gonna go out on a Limb here: the red card didn't matter.
Baby Boks are just so much better than anyone else in this comp.

Yes, Scotland made progress v Boks, however, this cannot be another false dawn.
Scotland need to make a mark in the 6Ns. IMHO that means beating Ireland at Murrayfield and finishing at least 2nd in the table.
If they don't do that & do their usual 3rd or 4th what progress have, they truly made?

U20s best performance in years.
Dalziel stood out again, had great tournament.
Locks, props filled w/exciting youngsters.
A back 3 w/2 players in Kelly/McHaffie good ball in hand & good in air.
A coaching team filled w/recently retired players. Led by Laidlaw, with Pyrgos & Weir as well.

Standouts v Boks:
ST his best game v top 4 team.
M. Fagerson, best game for Scotland. Physical & everywhere.
White, superb game.
Cummins, bullied Boks' locks at times. Travesty he didn't get Lions' mins in a test.
Bayliss ...searing pace gave Boks fits.
FR, rusty but still excellent.

It is has killed Scotland for years and continues to do so.
No need to for all the panicky offloads that close in.
Take your time, go through phases and they would score.
Frustrating.

Cannot get over Brousset allowing Venter to carry his Lock in the air.
100% dangerous play & a penalty.
Scotland couldn't go near that situation bc to do so could've resulted in serious foul.
That opened up the field once Lock landed on his feet.
Fucking amateur hour reffing from Brousset.
