Scotland sleeping here, terrible start

***Sylar*** · 14-03-2021 02:20 PM

We’re going to get blown away if we keep giving away stupid penalties again!

The long break has clearly not benefited us.

***Jim44*** · 14-03-2021 02:22 PM

Scotland very poor. Getting bad vibes that Ireland will walk this.

***bringbackbenny*** · 14-03-2021 02:29 PM

Scottish lineouts not too good today

**CloudSquall** · 14-03-2021 02:29 PM

Ireland vs Scotland is like Aberdeen vs Hibs, no matter how guff they are we (normally) can't buy a win against them.

***Scorrie*** · 14-03-2021 02:48 PM

How many stupid penalties do Scotland give away. Honestly some of the players are playing like they don’t know the rules

**hibsbollah** · 14-03-2021 03:22 PM

F me, the ref gives Scotland a penalty there, it’s a miracle.

Russell kicks it out on the full. Says it all.

***Scorrie*** · 14-03-2021 03:54 PM

Sometimes we just seem to do the basics right. My old rugby teacher at school would be going mental

***Sylar*** · 14-03-2021 03:58 PM

We’re our own worst enemy a lot of the time (lineouts, penalties today), but Ireland were gifted a try that clearly looked held up.

Our ineptitude as a national rugby team is truly impressive. Smaller nations than us frequently find success but we continue to excel at failing.

Would like to see Townsend move on. I was never a fan and despite all of the “promise”, he can’t seem to get us to that elite level. Shake up and build toward the 2023 World Cup.

awk we're back in our usual league position...2nd bottom, thank goodness for the Italians

***weecounty hibby*** · 14-03-2021 04:02 PM

****ing amateurish. Some of those mistakes would not be tolerated at the level I played at for years. Lineout was a total disgrace. Some of the penalties given away are plain stuoid. Some of the handling errors were shocking

Spot on. They’re more interested in being gym bunnies rather than do the basics right

Me, waiting on the email to tell me it's my turn

***Frazerbob*** · 15-03-2021 12:05 PM

Boom, 6 Scotland passes in the bag. €140 for 4 games is superb.

Did we win one all game? Absolutely blew the opportunity when taking the lead just before half time and then horrific to lose a penalty from our possession at 24 all. Sums up Russell with that penalty to the corner too much trying to be the smart erse at times. Gatland probably put a pen through his name at that point missed a very kickable penalty also. Appreciate Ireland will have analysed our lineout plays but dear oh dear that was horrific how poor we were gifted possession over and over.

Gavin Henson makes his rugby league debut for Llanelli Raiders against Widnes this weekend at age 39. This was a team that were gubbed a record 144-0 a few years ago but seem to have their arse in gear and have also signed Rangi Chase (34) as they try to climb the league's and make a dent into solid Union Territory.

**heretoday** · 20-03-2021 04:13 PM

Great match in Dublin. Fine try by Earls and the Greens take the lead.

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 20-03-2021 05:52 PM

so it's england that finish 2nd bottom then

pleased for eddie jones

Scotland hand the Italians their heaviest defeat this season, i think this must be their worst season with continuous heavy defeats

lost France 10-50
lost England 41-18
lost Ireland 10-48
lost Wales 7-48
lost Scotland 52-10

and i got £48 back on a Handicap Scotland-26 win :)

France v Wales up next should be a great game

***bawheid*** · 20-03-2021 08:19 PM

Wales have had significant refereeing decisions going their way throughout the Championship. Their last try looked held up to me.

They’re obviously a decent side but Scotland would have had them but for the red card. The refereeing in their game against England was terrible too.

the Tmo (is that what they call it?) clearly didn’t want to contradict the official, it looked held up to me.Johnathan Davies just can’t be objective, he’s the only rugby pundit who shows his national bias.

Davies shouldn’t be commentating on Wales matches. He’s the most biased sports commentator I’ve ever heard, and that includes Jimmy Hill!

Brian Moore is excellent.
