What's your thoughts now? I'm considering taking "cash out" before the England game. I thought France looked a bit nervous and weren't great under the high ball against Wales.Quote:

Both of them are dreadful - Davies and Butler. Worst on the bbc.Quote:

Butler makes your ears bleed , Jiffy's not much better they'd give your ******** a migraine. Looking at social media on Friday night after the Wales game there where a lot of people tell Brain Moore how big a mistake the BBC have made in dropping him from their six nations coverageQuote:

an interesting take on Finn RussellQuote:

The fulcrum of Scotland's attack is Russell - but the 29-year-old has been a shadow of the player everyone knows he is. He still swaggers about with the smile and smirk we've become accustomed to but hasn't delivered on that charmer's promise.
The calmness that personifies his game has given way to questionable decision-making. The other worry is that no longer is he just ill-disciplined with the ball in hand - kicking needlessly or trying the endless Hollywood ball that will not come off this season - he is also giving away penalties and picking up cards as a result.
The yellow in Cardiff was costly, having gotten away with his yellow at Twickenham and red in Paris last year. If Scotland are ever going to challenge for the title, they need Russell at his very best and this year he has been ineffective.
i'd still love to know why we blew not just the result against Wales this season but the same ending against the Welsh last season at Murrayfield, i just can't understand why we completely fell out of these games, surely can't be a lack of energy, the only things i can think of is either managerial tactics or the players themselves deciding to just hold on to what they had which is more or less the impression i got during and after that defeat to Wales, i couldn't understand why we just let wales dictate most of the play in the second 40, especially after playing so well in the first, maybe like football it's just one of those 'game of two halves' things i guess
I think Finn struggles with 2 bosh merchants outside him. Johnson, Tuipolotu, Harris etc are all blunt instruments. He has always played his best stuff with Jones, Bennett, Scott etc. he has also looked really good with Redpath. At Racing he has excellent centres who are on his wave length. Harris can’t even execute a simple overlap as we saw v France.Quote:

Russell among those disciplined for a breach of protocol this week:Quote:

i'm amazed the welsh player didn't know he had to tap the ball first at a tap and go :rolleyes:
14-0 Ireland, the rest of this isn't going to be pretty. 😣
14-5
Italy were brilliant earlier, a well deserved win.
Scotland started well then back to normal giving away too many penalties, we're still in it though. TMO was pretty eager to have our try overturned :hmmm:
for goodness sake Hogg, simple pass inside and that was a try
ten penalties Scotland have conceded, so far
Shoeman lucky not to be off there, leads with the arm and Hogg was a greedy get by not passing inside, poor stuff. We must have the worst discipline record in world rugby, time for Townsend to go.
Dear France, sorry we couldn't help you out a wee bitty
but anyway
well done Italy, 7 long years wait for a six nations win, 36 game losing streak is finally over
Scotland the only side to lose to Wales this series thus allowing them to avoid the wooden spoon, but we do finish 4th, amazingly we coulda finished 3rd
I said that months ago. We're talented and yet we make so my technical errors and the discipline issues are ridiculous. It's coaching pure and simple.Quote:

Yes, i've been doing other things so just noticing now, but should England be wearing blue socks?
Another disappointing six nations campaign from Scotland
I think Scotland have hit a wall at this stage, not sure where they go from here. There's only so many times you can say "onwards and upwards" and continue to believe that there actually is a higher ceiling that is achievable for this bunch.
I think they're just the fourth best team in the 6 Nations.
