Six nations

I'll start with my usual improbable optimism levels and in a couple of weeks will have accepted the OP's forecast of 5th as just about the best we can expect.
Along the way there'll be the usual mixture of unrewarded excellent performances, suicidal handling errors and shoddy refereeing decisions coupled with at least 1 terrible all-round performance (generally against Wales for some reason).

I think we'll do pretty well. Next Thursday I head off for 4 days on the lash in Wales with Alloa Rugby Club on our usual tour to Swansea🏉🍻🍺. I think we might just sneak a win tomorrow and then see off the Welsh. I expect us to beat Italy away and France at home but see us struggle against Ireland. I think we'll finish second. I am an eternal optimist and expect a Scottish cup win every year too🏆

Many moons ago this was one of the years where we had a chance. We had the tough games at home and the Welsh and Irish were givens anyway so it didn't matter where we played them.
I think this will be close and I think we'll edge it. If not, at least we'll still be in the Scottish cup unlike two years ago. That was a crap day.

A dour game so far. There's not much evidence that we have a cutting edge to our game.

every ****** time we make advances forward and we muck it up, russell main culprit, unfortunately cotter took until 15 mins left to decide seymour was pure rank today, russell really mucked up when we had that breakaway and instead of giving it out to hogg he blooters it up the park and out for some bizarre reason, still, at least ireland and wales will make far FAR better use of the ball when up at the english 5 metre line, still think we will beat the French at murrayfield for a glorious double on 13th march 504 minutes since we last scored a try against england at murrayfield...will be another 504 before we do again

Scotland were poor, far too many mistakes. England were unspectacular but got the basics right.

Verne Cotter is far too negative in the way he gets Scotland play, there was zero excitement in that performance, Hogg is the only player in the team with enough pace to trouble the opposition. It's all huff & puff.
Wooden spoon again I reckon.

and looking at things realistically, registered rugby players in each six nation country
England = 2 Million
France = 360,000
Ireland = 153,000
Italy = 66,000
Wales = 50,000
Scotland = 38,500

certainly wont disagree with that, i get more het up watching the scottish rugby team than i do watching hibs i've honestly never saw any other international rugby team make so many **** ups when at the oppositions 5 metre line, we either get caught out with a silly basic schoolboy error or just lack imagination to get over that try line, and we just know that if we get a penalty(even a big distance out) 9/10 times we will kick for goal instead of a line-out, ross ford was pretty poor with his throw-ins again today, i've shouted at the tellybox for quite a few years now for us to change the thrower but cotter/whoever just wont listen :(

Gutted about Saturday. England were crap but we were crappier! Basic errors and wrong decisions cost us. Hopefully we will sort that out as this squad of players has huge potential. I have just taken time off from ironing my rugby club shirts and packing my case for the bi annual Alloa Rugby Club trip to Wales. Leave at 6am tomorrow, back at 10pm Sunday. Monday off work, Easter Road on Tuesday

I wonder if Scotland will be able to keep their six nations campaign on track this weekend. I was slightly concerned it may have come off the rails last weekend but thankfully they were able to steady the ship and stay on course.

I think England are the only 6 nations team that the much improved Italians haven't beaten yet.
I think they might give England a problem or two on sunday.
