Getting pissed off with this now, we're trying to win a game via penalties while giving away all the penalties. Brain dead crap.

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.

both defensively shit
The way we are passing I can see why you'd be worried about their defence in response to a post about getting them attacking ball.

We know that they aren't strong defensively. I can't think of a single person who has said they are.

Why no SHC? A bit of threat around the fringes might just give us a chance.

Cummings has been better than Gray today but he looks out on his feet to me

Brilliant, forwards and the scrum have been pumped all game and Price stands watching the ball towards the back of the scrum without asking Fagerson to try to reach and pick it.

A losing BP would be an amazing result if we can keep it. Definitely one of our worst performances.

Scotland in a nutshell... win a scoring opportunity and give away a penalty that's a mix of stupidity and incompetence

Price is a luxury that just cannot be afforded. Jamie Ritchie manages to save a wonky lineout and is overwhelmed with blue shirts. What's the priority here? Secure the ball - it doesn't matter if you're the scrum half, you'll be back in position in two phases with the possession intact.

Losing BP is an absolute irrelevance. France will pump Italy.

It's the difference between being beaten badly and being beaten.

A losing BP is an arbitrary cut off. If we lose by 10 it wouldn't have been any better if we lose by 7.

Terrific another dull penalty.

Running into your own man from first receiver. Fucking yes.

Positives:
It was only 7.
We only conceded a try through a defensive lapse from Price and the inside defender.

Negatives
Pretty much everything else.

So much daft play today. Will need to be far sharper v Ireland/England in a couple of weeks

Does any team miss touch more than ours at international level? It's truly embarrassing. I wasn't expecting to beat France but this is basic stuff.

France did their best to help Scotland. France very frustrating, as were Scotland

I understand Hogg really going for the corner. We had done fuck all for the game so a safe kick wasn't going to cut it.

Execution poor though.

Death stare from Toonie at the end there. Rather sums it up

Not very inspiring stuff from either side. A narrow win was what I predicted and I’m happy with that.
