Wrangodog Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Scotland are criminal under Townsend, trying to play an expansive game that they can't play without making too many errors.

casual observer Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Townsend getting shown up again for trying to implement a style his players are not capable of playing. Like expecting Newcastle to play Pep tactics and be successful. Just not going to happen. Real pity BVC wasn’t retained. We’ll get out the group (just) and come up against another world class side and get demolished in the QF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaker71 Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 The SRU are to blame here as Vern has us making major strides and they dumped him in favour of Townsend because he was a Scot. i am all for homegrown people. But they have to be food enough and toonie simply isn’t up to the job 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 There's no real support for club rugby in Scotland. Fans will turn out for internationals but two pro teams isn't enough to provide internationalists of the standard required for the Six Nations or World Cup. Ireland and Wales have four pro teams and a more traditional support of the game but Scotland, apart from the borders, has never really got behind rugby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killie billies pal Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Aye but, we are only a wee Country of 5 million, no like these big teams like Ireland, Wales, New Zealand. Getting rid of Fearne Cotton was one of the most blatant cases of xenophobia i have seen in sport, even my limited knowledge of the game told me he had us going very much in the right direction, now we are an embarrassment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffs we almost beat NZ at their best (albeit at the end of a hard season for them). We were robbed of a place in the SF of the last WC, and the SRU expedite their 'we want one of our own in charge' plan and royally fuxk the whole thing up. Great player tho toonie was, his scotland coaching career is shocking. Het him to fck and put the best man in charge and get us moving forward properly again. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted September 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Much better this week, although too many handling errors in the first half. Should get the bonus points from here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Well done, did what they had to but Japan will be a sterner test. Bit worrying the amount of strapping that Stuart Hogg has on his leg. The kick from Russell to Maitland and the Hogg drop goal were outstanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one that was under Townsend (and over 2 years into his reign)? Townsend also has a higher overall win % and competitive win %. Cotter only ever won 5 competitive games, only 2 of which were against tier one nations. Townsend has 8 competitive wins, 7 of which were against tier one nations. When it goes wrong for Townsend, it goes really wrong. Losing to Fiji and USA in friendlies, Ireland pasting us a couple of weeks ago. But it goes wrong less often than it did under VC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
