He’s a proven winner as a manager, with experience of players in Belgium and French leagues. Will need to be given time to weed out the shirkers and time wasters from the squad and he will want to get his players in the next two windows.

“We must reveal tolerance and sanity” this is how he would have reacted to adversity.

Some game from NZ last night. They look unstoppable.

He’s a wee bit of a chippy know it all. Apparently a nightmare to work for or with a head coach. Obviously did well with Stuart Lancaster’s england team for the first two seasons and then by not valuing the top rugby league in England proceeded to pick his favourites rather than the form players. Has gone to Australia and didn’t pick the experienced players, left them all at home and took a development squad to the World Cup. Comes across as an arrogant know it all.

Good point and they are on the easy side of the draw which is basically a bye to the final.

I think the winners will come from France, NZ or SA.

I suspect this is based on their population size and likely recent success in Europe.

Great Goalscorer but wasted his ability.

Those types need their own section next to the exit or toilets.

If he wants to play he needs to go somewhere where he will be NO. 1 keeper.

There comes a point when you just have to play young players and give them game time. The business model should be about bringing thru young players and selling them on. Some will go for good money, like Paterson, others will go to English clubs for lower fees. Beale needs to bring thru some young academy players during his tenure.

The lad deserves to have a crack at being no. 1.

He needs games and to test himself in big games. Hope he plays.

Great first half and disappointing 2nd half. France and Ireland are excellent teams.

If i was MAN U, I would invest that in Kane, as he will guarantee at least 20 goals a season. And put them in contention for a league win.

It will be a very tough game. Depending on weather too. Scotland will score, just need to not give away silly penalties.

Goldson out of position and ball watching. Tav should have put in the block. Sloppy defending.

A tough match away to France in two weeks time. If the team can play to their abilities, to win there would be some achievement. It’s great to finally beat Gatland.

A great start, but Scotland Must follow up that win with a solid performance and win against Wales and then take things from there. France were poor today, so hopefully that form continues. Although its a great win against England, I suspect it is time to look for new coach that can come in after the World Cup and take the team forward.

Makes sense and good way to invest further.

mccrorie Deserves his Chance.

A smart move to tie him down. He will develop into some player.

Bring in Gilmour on Loan from Brighton for the rest of season, with option of second season.

RIP Doddie Weir. What a player and man. Still remember your "Mistaken Identity" wise crack on the Lions 97.

What a brave man Doddie Weir was. To survive for 6 years after his diagnosis is super human. Still remember his banter on the living with lions video, when he was "caught" going on the lash to a nightclub, brilliant rugby player and man. Rest in Peace.
