Quite naff that from Scotland, all told.

@ItalianRugbyPod His ‘defence’ is absolutely fine. It’s not about that - that’s a lazy critique. It’s just that he would be exposed in the system. Same way Lowe would be nowhere near a Bok lineup but he’s a great player.

I know Franco doesn’t want an international job atm. But have Scotland thought about maybe tapping up Nienaber? 👀

Contrast that with how well JGP and SP have managed the game for Ireland. As we see the latter slide another kick in behind and put Scotland deep in their own half.

What’s been striking is how little Scotland have kicked the ball. They are attacking side to side and inviting so much pressure onto themselves because they simply refuse to kick it? I don’t get it. Not smart rugby.

And there we are - has to go straight over the 15 or to the first man!

Scotland are rolling now. Not interested in cleaning rucks. Heads gone.

Straight through BK’s tackle. Poor.

@Padsky Good call. In the tackle for me

Really tough when you’ve got your tails up and feel you deserve more than 3 - but Scotland are doing the right thing here. They’re back in this now.

I think this is just a normal knock in the tackle attempt tbh

Good finish Air Duhan

Late Oscar attempt for Beirne

Not sure Doleman has much control of the breakdown.

Way way way too simple. Scotland not at the races. In for a drubbing today on the current evidence.

If your 9 is being charged down by a loosehead what are you doing. Scotland with one of the flattest performances I’ve ever seen from them.
