Poor Scotland, fuck off
They flatter to deceive and Russell is the cure & the cancer
VDM is the Gareth Bale of rugby
Great player, going to win fuck all
They've had a terrific run vs England. A real bugger they couldn't win that when they should have.
In most of my time watching them they've had decent forwards but pedestrian backs, seems to be the opposite now.
I hope VDM can take fern favourite James Lowes spot on the left wing for the Lions tour. Huw Jones is class too. I think you're pretty spot on about Finn Russell as well.
Despite all this they'll still hammer Wales though

Anything less will be another false dawn

I think false dawns have been the norm for 35 years ( When they last managed a Grand Slam )

Three tries to none and the poor Scots still lose.
That is such a Scottish Rugby thing to do to be fair.
But England did get one.
The italics are because I didn't see the ball touch the ground.

@MiketheSnow Think Bale’s trophy cabinet is pretty decent to be honest. But we get the point!

Should have included ‘at international level’

Was at the game again, actually felt quite flat at the end. That performance was pathetic, pick a backline to run the ball and then spend all day taking ages to set up a box kick that you then execute poorly. If you're going to send up short box kicks all day why pick a short winger and a short full back who isn't used to playing there?
We had no field position, no ambition, no obvious structure to our attacking game. It proved beyond doubt that Marcus is not the problem at 10 and it annoys me he's carrying the can for the worst group of coaches in international rugby. Borthwick's totally full of shit 'we want to play ball in hand and get the fans off their seats' - just embarrassing.
Winning on Saturday just means Borthwick won't be going anywhere and we're wasting what is now one of the best packs in the Northern Hemisphere (seriously, Genge and Stewart have really worked on their scrummaging) and some genuinely talented players in the backline.
If i have to read one more puff piece about Wigglesworth i'm going to be sick. A win that not only felt like a loss, but i would probably rather have been one.

Sums up my view completely, just a complete hotch-potch of selections and tactics. If the plan is to box kick all bloody day, then pick a 9 that can execute it well but if you pick two running 9s then why play kick the leather off the ball for most of the match? And as you say if you are going to kick then
A. Kick well.
B. Chase well
C. Do not kick to big top class dangerous runners like VDM and Kinghorn with two thirds of your back three being midgets.It's not fucking rocket science, everyone and I do mean EVERYONE can see the issues but not Borthwick and his team. How blind or deluded do you have to be?
