Re: 6N starting team
I think we can surmize that McGuigan is emphatically not yet an international class winger

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Plus Horne, Maitland and Wilson. For Harris, McGuigan and CDP.

Re: 6N starting team
Welsh young backs have been slick and quick, by comparison.

On the plus side it's only 14-0.

The only half decent player is the cunt with the Welsh name.

Re: 6N starting team
Can you take any consolation from the fact that both scores were courtesy if price?

They aren't earning the right to play, due to the lack of carries. Far too easy to defend.Big D wrote:To be fair to him there are some shite from 9 and 10.Donny osmond wrote:I think we can surmize that McGuigan is emphatically not yet an international class winger

Games like this show why Russell is not a top top 10. He should be exerting control on the game rather than the shite he's producing.
Oddly enough, I still fancy us to win this - the scoreboard flatters how Wales played in that half.

Re: 6N starting team
Why are our players so mentally soft that when there’s even a hint of expectation they go to sht.
We’ve seen this film before with Toonys Glasgow teams - when they come up against a hard blitzing team they start forcing things too much behind the scrum as they lack ball carriers to change the game plan.
I’ve never seen Du Preez be anything other than anonymous in a Scotland shirt. If he is not going to carry them he can fck off as his work rate is appalling. Get him and Harris off and Horne and Wilson on.
Scrum is decent.

9 & 10 are playing like shite, but McGuigans mistakes arent on them they're on him.Big D wrote:On the plus side it's only 14-0.
If we want to be fair to him, it seems like most of his team mates should've stayed on the bus too.

Re: 6N starting team
I like MJs half time commentary tho. Scotland need to keep playing, just better. Well, shit!

Re: 6N starting team
Why are we getting McGuigan and Harris on the end of moves in the red zone? I guess they are trying to use the likes of Hoggy as decoy but we need him, Seymour and Jones to be more heavily involved.

WTF? Toony hasn't made a single change?

This tournament appears to have come about 2 weeks too early for us. Which does seem to happen every year.

Finally. Laidlaw on. He needed to make 3 more than that though.

That was the Welsh walking round. Gauzere gone against now. Understandable though as we were are a rabble.

Re: 6N starting team
And thats 20-0. We can talk about how crap the players have been but this performance is on Toony: our guys are playing like they don't know each other and a game plan is almost impossible to ascertain. They look slow and uncertain and that comes from the coaching, esp when you think back to how quick and cohesive they were (at times) in the autumn.

Got to disagree I'm afraid. It's another year where they collectively shit the bed when there is expectations of their shoulders.Donny osmond wrote:This tournament appears to have come about 2 weeks too early for us. Which does seem to happen every year.

Do agree Toony needs to take his share of the blame.

I can take a loss. There have been plenty. It's the fucking performance that gets me.
