[SANZAR] Preview: Aus v Scotland

[Crusaders (聖十字軍)]

Australia v Scotland


Telstra Dome, Melbourne
Saturday, 12 June
Kick-off: 0700 BST

Scotland will face a tactically-adventurous Australia side when the teams
meet on Saturday.

Australia coach Eddie Jones has named three fullbacks in his starting XV and
wants them to play a fluid brand of rugby against the Scots.

Scotland are looking to build on an encouraging Test victory over Samoa and
coach Matt Williams feels there could be chinks in the Wallabies' armour.

"They're more exposed than you'd get them during the Tri-Nations," he said.

It is more than 20 years since the Scots beat Australia and the transitional
period currently being endured by Williams' squad does not suggest that that
record is about to end.

But Jones' experiment involving Joe Roff, Lote Tuqiri and Wendell Sailor as
well as handing debuts to former South Africa Under-21 captain Clyde Rathbone
and Radike Samo means the Wallabies could be more vulnerable than in recent
times.

Jones believes the three-fullback tactic, to pressurise Scotland's defensive
kicking, is necessary in the current rugby climate.

"We don't expect one of them to stay in the same position all game. They are
going to roam around the field," he said.

"We have named them that way to give people an understanding of the way we
want them to play.

"At various stages, Lote, Wendell, Roffy and Chris Latham when he comes on
will all interchange from centre, left or right.

"We have seen in international rugby over the last 18 months how important
kick return is. It means these guys will have to work together as a team."

Williams is equally aware of the importance of kicking accuracy and has named
Dan Parks at fly-half ahead of Gordon Ross.for that reason.

The Scotland coach is fully aware of the task facing his developing side.

"They have got some world-class players and can still play poorly and win
because they have got world-class individuals," he said.

A win is not of utmost importance to Williams, but what is vital is a sign
that the improved Test performances against Ireland and Samoa can be built
upon.

An embarrassing, heavy defeat would erode the much-needed confidence built
up by those displays.

我跟朋友去看了這場比賽(因為我住澳洲~比賽場地又在墨爾本

又剛好考完試~又...)

因為是澳洲主場 現場38,997人 只有大概五百人是穿蘇格蘭球衣

我女朋友說蘇格蘭一個Try都沒有一定是主場壓力...

我們買學校的特價票 在比賽前一個月訂的

沒想到我們的座住跟好在球門後面

上半場因為澳洲隊是攻我們對面的球門

基本上沒什麼比賽的感覺

但是上半場澳洲18: 15蘇格蘭

澳洲隊有一個Try~其它都是用踢的

後面的學弟還在說"Hey, it is not footy!"他不是不專業 只是外國人看球都這樣

上半場蘇格蘭差點Try 但是澳洲隊的防守太好了 硬是把他們擋下來

下半場就精采了 因為澳洲隊是攻向我們的位置

在澳洲隊二個try下 把比分拉大到27:15 本來蘇格蘭還有機會追的

球迷為球隊加油的方式也很特別 是每個人踹地板 讓有我回到台灣地震的感覺

但是在底線的一個誤踢 讓澳洲隊的邊線直接把球接下來

跑過蘇格蘭的防線 又是一個try(比賽剩六分鐘)

讓蘇格蘭的反攻希望徹底破滅

而且蘇格蘭在澳洲的防守之下 一直沒辦法突破底線

有兩次在底線前被攔下來 (在比賽前二分鐘 澳洲隊的防守真的是沒話說)

Player of the game: G Gregan

因為我是第一次看比賽 很多地方都看不懂


但是很明顯的這種比賽澳洲隊失誤太多 有兩次界外發球進場之後

球竟然掉了 一次自己人撿回來 另一次被蘇格蘭撿走

不然以當天澳洲隊的防守 那幾球能不能踢進去還是個問題

澳洲隊的速度明顯比蘇格蘭快很多 從組織到進攻 到轉換戰術都很快

是一場滿有意思的比賽 (我是被我女朋友拉去看的 可是她看不懂...)

(而且我女朋友是看隊長很帥才去看的...)

從此 我女朋友愛上Rubgy 但是只看澳洲隊比賽

因為墨爾本的RNL比賽太少 而且澳洲隊隊長長得帥...

(寫得不好 請見諒 我也是從世界盃之後才開始看的...)
