No it didn't look dangerous, but I belive it's classed as dangerous play in the laws. Probably as a deterrent although I can see why tackling legs only to be met with boots could be dangerous.

Ref didn't deny a try, a Welsh player broke the rules. Had the ref enforced the rules properly it would have been a yellow card for Wales as jumping over a tackle is dangerous play.

It really was though. We've been observing all week how Australia are being over hyped. The only reason this wasn't a 50 point drubbing is because of our own handling errors, we had a scrappy game and still dominated possession, territory and forward momentum.

Beating Australia at Murrayfield is an expectation for Scotland, we are the better team. Shame Australia aren't playing Italy because that would be a more competitive game for Australia. England are going backwards, can't wait to play them next year. Wales are tier 2 now.

Scoring 40+ against a side that isn't even in the top ten is to be expected.

It's not a step back, they lost to a team that's been better than them for most of the last decade. Beating England and Wales isn't the achievement it used to be.
