Honestly, I've seen us play bad before; but this is embarrassing. No shape in defence, clueless in attack. No support over the ball (as just demonstrated). Where the fuck is our back row!? It's like they have been told to leave the backs to cover rucks.
Oh, and let's say it again 'what is the point of Ryan Wilson?'
Can't tackle, can't carry, can't ruck. Cracking laugh in the hotel though. By that rationale, we should play Billy Connolly at 8 instead?

Not as illegal as I thought but why is Healy round that side holding on to his legs?

At a ruck, trying to clear him out. Lets not clutch at straws.

One of only a couple showing any nous around the breakdown.
Means nothing if Ireland can continue making ground with such ease.
Watson down. Shit.

You are right and it is never given but it annoys me in every game. Rucks are not meant to be a free for all

Jesus christ. Off the hook yet again. Ireland should have 30+ points on the board.

Ireland have had to do nothing, other punish Scotland's mistakes and insecurities. We've been set-up to fail. So scared of Ireland's pack, Toony has decided only a miracle break/pass by Hogg is the entire game plan. He has to go.

Yup. Can we not give Shaun Edwards a job?

Looks that way. We're playing the best team in the world with a hooker at 7.

Realistically we are ranked 7th in the world and Ireland are 1st and that is fairly evident today. Let’s hope for an improved 2nd half

He'll go blindside, Barclay will go open (images of those old one-last-hurrah westerns). Guess the aim is to go for physicality, and to be fair, we've done not bad there. Just hope it pays off in the last 20

About the only upside is how quick Hogg is looking. Twice he has pulled away from the chasers covering back

Grieg man. Ffs. Pointing at the ball while Ireland steal it.

I'm not sure it's evident that this is the 7th best side in the world

It’s evident that we are nowhere near the level of Ireland
