Topic: 6 Nations
1. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 18:36 Why on earth do we only turn up against England these days? Absolutely rampant today….shame our 6 Nations ended after last weeks defeat 🙄 surely we cant go all the way and do it now? Reply

Absolutely rampant today….shame our 6 Nations ended after last weeks defeat 🙄 surely we cant go all the way and do it now? Tough one anytime. France seem to be the major obstacle. We should beat Wales , and Ireland look easier than they have for a long time. We need the bonus v Wales. I can`t see us beating France, but I couldn`t see the Pars beating Hibs. It is all to play for. Knowing us, we will beat France and Ireland but lose to Wales. Reply
3. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sun 15th Feb 2026. 11:18 Think we need to win all 3 with BPs and avoid them getting any BPs to have a small chance, so cant see it happening. By all accounts nobody predicted yesterdays result either. Reply
4. Author: NMCmassive Date: Sun 15th Feb 2026. 11:50 Well it’s gave us a chance. Thought our forwards were excellent. Helps having Finn Russell though, brings a bit of class when it’s needed. I’m still questioning GT’s squad selection. The back 3 seems everywhere 🤷🏻‍♂️ COYP Reply

By all accounts nobody predicted yesterdays result either. I think a lot of people predicted yesterdays result, it’s been a regular theme of Townsends tenure Reply
6. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 15th Feb 2026. 12:42 It`s always been hard for Scotland to win the Triple Crown, far less the Championship or a Grand Slam. Rugby going professional has probably made it even harder. For all the criticism of Townsend he`s made Scotland better to watch and more entertaining. They can now score from all areas of the pitch. Not so long ago they could be camped 5 yards from the try line and you knew they were never going to score. Reply
7. Author: NMCmassive Date: Mon 16th Feb 2026. 00:32 We’ve literally won nothing with the best squad of players since the 80’s. There’s reasons folk are questioning Gregor Townsend COYP Reply

There’s reasons folk are questioning Gregor Townsend Seven of the last nine Calcutta Cups. Papers over the fact we haven’t come close to a 6 Nations title with these players. We lost to Italy before winning this year’s one……..going to now have to win everything by some margin to have a slim hope of the title. Reply
10. Author: Paralex Date: Mon 16th Feb 2026. 18:34 More of a football fan than Rugby, but absolutely brilliant that we sent them home to think again. Reply
11. Author: Paralex Date: Mon 16th Feb 2026. 18:38 Not too sad that we lost to Italy since Roma is my very favourite European city and it`s great to see Italy`s rugby team doing well. Post Edited (Mon 16 Feb 18:43) Reply
12. Author: Jimmy riddell Date: Mon 16th Feb 2026. 19:33 Despite having the best squad in recent years since the start of the 6 Nations I don’t think we’ve ever finished better than third. We need to back up Saturday’s excellent result with a convincing win in Cardiff. Although we’ve beaten Wales the last twice we’ve squandered big leads and held on grimly at the end. Reply

As much as it’s nice to beat England, what’s more likely to be fondly remembered? 1990 or any of the latest Calcutta Cups? COYP Reply

As much as it’s nice to beat England, what’s more likely to be fondly remembered? 1990 or any of the latest Calcutta Cups? Too young to remember 1990, but 1999 is always a great memory, especially being brought up playing rugby and getting to touch the trophy. That and the 2000 Calcutta Cup will always be a cherished memory. Townshend has squandered a golden generation though and should have won at least 1x 6 Nations in this time. Reply
15. Author: PARrot Date: Tue 17th Feb 2026. 11:36 Yes we have the best squad for eons, but unfortunately so have others. Ireland literally being best in the world. It`s a bit like Andy Murray turning up while Federer, Nadal and Jokivic (sp) were running the show. Reply

Ireland literally being best in the world. It`s a bit like Andy Murray turning up while Federer, Nadal and Jokivic (sp) were running the show. That’s a great analogy and true. Up till this year perhaps, Ireland have been magnificent for years particularly in defence. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte Reply
18. Author: Andrew283 Date: Sat 21st Feb 2026. 17:45 This is woeful. Can`t count the number simple mistakes from Scotland so far Reply
19. Author: PARrot Date: Sat 21st Feb 2026. 17:52 Looks like half the Scotland team have some money on Wales. Reply
20. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 21st Feb 2026. 17:53 Night and day from last week which is why we will never win 6 Nations any time soon. Get Gregor in the bin, he’s had his chance time and time again and blown it. Wales have won 2 in their last 25 games…..sums it up Reply
