SA are clearly the superior side. Scotland have shown today that they aren't up there with the top teams.
SA by far the better team but if Russell had kicked his points and played the match in SA 22 it could have been a very different outcome
Russell a liability today

All over. Finn "Dan Carter" Russell not having his best game, but not helped by Scottish forwards getting absolutely dominated.
Showed today he’s not a Test player

Well, aside from 50 odd caps for Scotland, two Lions tours and generally being lauded as the most creative 10 in the UK you’re definitely right.

International player who blows very hot & very cold.
That’s not a Test player in my book.
Spencer v Mehrtens springs to mind.

And his inability to take the game by the scruff of the neck fucked up my accumulator

So if you have an off game you’re not a test player ?

That’s one Lions tour where he played less than 30 minutes of test rugby and one where he was a convenient geographically related midweek cover. Let’s not polish his CV too much.

Are you sure lauded is the right word?

Let me rephrase:
When you write "lauded as the most creative 10 in the UK" I politely enquire if that is saying very much.

Oh for sure but I think an apt description of him and his style of play is “mercurial”…..a bit like Spencer as you mentioned, Quade Cooper and his coach Gregor Townsend. I don’t think you can really label him “not a test player” as just the week before he orchestrated a very good win over Australia.
He also does extremely well for someone built like a pro soccer player.
