So somebody çriticises me for watching the highlights and somebody else for only watching the last 20 minutes. I`ve seen a lot more of Scotland than this match and they`re the most exciting team we`ve had in years.

I don`t see the problem.
Alright we took our foot off the gas.... But we won.
It`s the Scotland way.
That`s what we do 🤣

Wales deserved at least a draw .. they had a try denied because their excellent full back jumped over his tackler to avoid the tackle which apparently is against the rugby law

Now then Mrs. would you rather be flattened in the tackle or take evasive action to avoid being hurt ? .. So why is jumping over a potential sore body not allowed

Ive played .. run the line .. watched .. but never ever knew that daft law existed


That’s been a law for many, many years. I remember and Argentinian player scoring a try that way around the eighties and I think the rule changed after that. As said, it’s a safety concern to prevent the tackler getting a boot in the head. It was a lovely move by the Welsh full back though.

It was frustrating that we let them back in. Especially the final try.

However, we were very close to several more scores. We were by far the better side.

No shoogley peg for the manager yet, but isn`t it interesting that the same posters that are always shouting for the Pars managers to be sacked are doing the same here.

TF I don`t have to live with them.

Except we kept trying to force through the middle, even after the defence had set.
Couldn’t get through against England, nor Ireland, but persisted against Wales.
We look great when we are pinging the ball out wide to runners, but we get sucked in to the grind and eventually make a mistake or have the ball held up (twice).
Guaranteed we will try the same against France and get nothing at all through the middle.

Some commentators thought if Russell had still been on the pitch he would have been more likely to opt to go wide. Apparently he asked to be subbed as he was cramping up.

Our backs are an incredible threat, was strange them not going wider more when in the 22.

Parrot - people are allowed to voice their opinions on any matter, just because they believe both Scotland and the Pars are underperforming at the same time doesn’t mean they cant then call for change at the same time.

Good Post Lux

The number of times we lose the ball when trying to force through the middle or try the maul .. I think is just down to the fact that we don`t have the power/size/weight .. we are very dangerous when we run from deep but don`t quite have the grunt required to take on the big boys

Thanks for that info .. I never knew that .. Also that is the first time I have seen it given in any game over the last 60 + years

We are forever shaped by the Children we once were
