@dubshn1028 @WilliamShatner Scotty was Irish though

@WilliamShatner Capt Kirk was a Scottish man

Today we are all a little bit Irish.🍀 Raise a glass, chase the rainbow! 🤔BTW, if you find the gold do let me know; it was my idea to send you looking so we are partners! 😝🤣

Glad we got the humdrum 6Nations out the way so we can all now give our undivided attention to Rugby360

NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE TRIPLE CROWN OK

🏰📰Club Statement from Managing Director Douglas Struth.

@Lairdysnr Let's put together a working group to find a use for AI

@ScotRugbyBlog The tech already exists. But you’ve just highlighted another law that doesn’t get refereed. ❌Offside at kick off ❌Ball straight into scrum ❌Head below hips ❌Forward passes I’m sure there are more!

Starting a campaign #MFFA to Make Forward Forward Again. Let's put a chip in the ball and find something useful for AI to do, like stopping forward passes being "ok" or "part of the game" Gonna get caps and everything (I'm not)

Huw Jones not the least of his discoveries, such a influence in the creation of this generation of Scotland players...

Not good. That’s the future right there …

Jack Dempsey leaving Glasgow, and thus Scotland, is a huge blow. Yeah he's getting on a bit, but really he's Scotland's only consistently (sorry Strauss, et al) decent ball carrying Number 8 of the professional era so...

100% - @Scotlandteam’s George Turner found a teammate from all 33 of his lineout throws in this year’s Men’s Six Nations, the most throws of any player to maintain a 100% success rate in a single edition of the Championship. Pinpoint.

Some finish by Baloucoune - The all in Defence by Scotland failed badly. Poor reads.

Ireland 227 tackles v Scotland, their most in last 15 years - using Opta

Scotland have lost 12 in a row against Ireland. That is their longest losing streak against any northern hemisphere nation at any point in their 155 year history. The only longer losing streaks v SH nations are: 21 - New Zealand (1987- ) 16 - Australia (1982-2006)

Top trolling

Ahhhh …. Who signed off on this one ?

5⃣0⃣0⃣ Finn Russell becomes just the fourth player to reach 500 points for Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #AsOne

@MarkPalmerST @ScotRugbyBlog It’s scarcely credible that after years of defeats, we still have no idea how to counteract and beat Ireland. Serious coaching failure.

@EmilyMaher11084 We badly missed the more dynamic locks today. Though i still don't know if it makes a difference

@ScotRugbyBlog Its is flattering. Scots were brilliant, but I cant see where they go from here without more physicality in the pack

Scoreline is a touch flattering but only a touch. Ireland once again had us figured out and stopped our plan at source...

@JamesThomsonHK @EmilyMaher11084 @jmwoods87 Ireland have changed their coach at least once and still have us figured out

@EmilyMaher11084 @jmwoods87 @ScotRugbyBlog Because we have same coach. Same lack of plan to mitigate Ireland. We all see it. Yet we are not set up correctly. If we are happy against England and France we only have ourselves to blame. They have never been issue

Ireland like a boa constrictor around Scotland's game plan as we've seen so many times. Still not sure how you can throw a forward pass from a standing position and it's legit, must be hella windy at the Aviva
