Blueray 903 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Scotland started brightly enough but failed to turn pressure into points when threatening to. The basic mistakes in the second half were schoolboy errors whichΒ ultimately made it easy for the opposition. A disappointing performance after starting the match so well.Β England on the other hand played some of the best rugby I've seen for a long time. It was perfect rugby for much of the match. Quick, sharp, focused, professional, skillful and a joy to watch. They were absolutely first class. Really looking forward to seeing if they can reproduce or even come close to matching that standard against Wales in Cardiff. Β Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummiesoot 15,965 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 England were good / great but the first four tries came from near identical defensive lines from France, they never adapted and learned. Shocking for an international side.Β Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the brown brogue 1,853 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Scotland rarely seem to score much points in the second half, France by all accounts suffer from fitness issues so could be a war of attrition here.

the brown brogue 1,853 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Looks like 5th place at best for Scotland this year. Can't see anything but defeats against Wales and England.Β I'm no expert, but for Scotland to play the way Townsend wants them to play they can't have Laidlaw at scrum half slowing everything down.Β Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueray 903 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Scotland don't have the same strength or quality as France and never looked at any stage likely thatΒ they'd win the game. Scotland are a decent hard working side capable of odd flashes of brilliance but also have a tendency for making basic mistakes at crucial moments. France thoroughly deserved their win. Hoping for a great contest between Wales and England. England were superlative against France a fortnight ago and hopefully they will turn it on again. Wales at home should provide sternerΒ opposition than France were though so expect a tighter affair points wise. Looking forward to it. Come on England (apologies to Welsh Bears).

MisterC 12,196 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Same old bloody story. We certainly missed hogg and Russell and there just seemed to be a lack of real belief. Very disappointing and especially when the game was there for the taking. Mind you, it shows how far Scottish Rugby has come on in the past few years that we thought we might just break our duck in Paris.Β ger4life_1872 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
