The Bulldogs secured a commanding 34-12 victory over the Scots in their regular-season encounter on October third, 2026. The result extends the home side's momentum while adding another heavy defeat to the visitors' record. By then, the pattern was already familiar for anyone following the Scots this campaign.
The scoreboard tells the story without embellishment. The Bulldogs scored three times as many points as their opponents, with the margin of twenty-two points reflecting a complete mismatch. To be fair, the Scots' defensive structure simply could not contain what came at them.
The visitors arrived with something to prove after their 58-7 loss to the Tigers just over a month earlier. They did not find the answers. The Scots gave up the ball and hit them on the break repeatedly, unable to mount any sustained pressure. Three weeks apart and the same problems remained.
What this means on the table is difficult to say without knowing the wider standings. But the gap between the teams is now clear to see. The Bulldogs have the deeper squad and showed it in their ability to control every phase of play.
The Scots will need to look at what went wrong in both matches before moving forward. One mistake ends it when you are this vulnerable. And here's the thing — they have not been vulnerable; they have been exposed.
