Am working today and unlikely to see any of games ๐Ÿ™

Will keep dropping in here to view so updates on the vitally important wooden spoon decider would be good.

well he played the vast majority of his career in league which was tragic for welsh rugby

Yeah - I remember my dad being very cross about that, but I can understand it. Who'd want to have to do a day job as well as play club and international rugby?

AA - good luck to Wales, they are the best team, not quite as good as your pirate patch would have us believe, but good none the less!

The shiteness of italy's backs may be your saviour.

That whole passage of play leading up to the yellow card was all because Scotland are unable to claim a restart...basic skill!!

God that Italy 10 is shocking. WTF is wrong with the scots? They don't look at all interested.

Morale collapsed, no belief no faith. Wrong coach and they know a combination of poor selection and tactics and individual mistakes have cost them [i]another[/i] 6 nations.

The opportunity was there a couple of months ago and Robinson was unable to see it. Hopefully this is his last half in charge of Scotland

Deserved. No linespeed at all on defence from scotland.

Every time I read about Scotland's woes in the paper there is a comment about Robinson being contracted to 2015, and that Scotland can't afford to get rid of him. I'm never sure whether they mean financially or because he's still their best option?

Probably a question best left till the 6 nations is finished, but would the competition benefit from either Scotland or Italy being relegated and another European team getting a crack? Georgia perhaps?

On the basis of this game so far, along with both nations last 5 or 6 years at this level, I'd have to say yes.

I havent seen much which could be layer at the door of the coach so far this game. The team are just playing very very poorly; mistakes and terrible decision making.

It's all very well Scots supporters playing "blame the Englishman" but looking at their 6 nations record (ie since 2000) it's pretty much irrelevant who's the coach, they're not actually that good ๐Ÿ˜‰

Played 63
Won 16
Drawn 2
Lost 45
Points For/Against 1018/158 (?564)

Combined table

France 91 points
Ireland 87
England 83
Wales 64
Scotland 34
Italy 17

Is there actually a wooden spoon? Maybe someone could smack Robinson on the napper with it!

I hate to be the one to say it; when is something going to be done about Roland?
His performance in quite a few games now has been inexcusable IMHO.

The sad fact is that Robinson will not go anywhere and we've shifted Lineen out the way so the inept Gregor Townsend can take over at Glasgow. SRU=bunch of ****s. We should have been beated today by way more than 7 points.

England - you may have been pretty rubbish for the last few years, but at least we're not Scottish! ๐Ÿ™‚

I've jst rang my Scots mate, for some reason he's refusing to answer the phone ๐Ÿ˜†

Commisserations Scotland. FWIW that was so bad, i didn't enjoy seeing it.
Still, there's only one direction to go from here surely.

A new oxymoron for the STW lexicon...

'Scottish Attack'

Ok, rest of the games?

Wales by 15 i reckon and much as i hate to say it, Ireland by 10. England have made a promising start to their rebuild but i think Ireland will be too much for them today. Still, at least i've seen an England team look like they are improving with each game, if you had offered me 3 from 5 at the beginning of the tournament i'd have snapped your hand off.

Utter pish. One of the worst Scotland performances I've ever seen. So much for the promise shown against Wales, England & France.

Why is it Robinsons fault someone asked? we have betterplayers than in 2000 but results get worse.

Selecting the wrong players.

In the Calcutta cup match he selected Parks - and everyone including the team surely know that was wrong. Negative and backward looking. Selecting Jackson in this match on the bench instead of Weir and loads of other duff selections

Teh team are obviously low in morale

We have tumbled down the world rankings under him winning 2 six nations matches in 15

The players are a lot better than what we see.
