Unless the Scottish pack learn how to match the Irish pack we can forget about it

@ScotRugbyBlog @thistlerugbypod Can see Kinghorn and Darcy coming back in. Darcy was probably unlucky to be left out last game. Dempsey was one of very few perfomers in the pack, bench made some impact, do they start? 🤷‍♂️

@thistlerugbypod Have we worked out which way Kinghorn's rainy plane photo was going? In or Out?

TEAM GOSS Hearing Gilchrist, Schoeman, Jordan, Dobie all dropped. Ritchie back in

@Huw_Price65 @JayGFinlayson No feeble excuses. The better team won on the night and the ref got some things wrong and that happens. The bunker & TMO have time to review incidents and there is no consistency in decisions - headbut, tip tackle etc. On many other days these are all cards, thats the problem.

Matthew Carley just proving he is a disgrace and shouldn’t be referring any games. #FRAvSCO

Officiating in this game has been very poor yet again. TMO / bunker 🤷‍♂️With all the technology how can you get things so wrong. France put in a massive 2nd half but should never had 15 men on the pitch

@thistlerugbypod Well that last 20 comes under the “Utter gash” section

Hate to post this but…

@thistlerugbypod Decending into a huge shambles. Left so many tries out there yet again, lineout poor. We should have put this lot away ages ago they are so poor

Can’t complain about that scoreline but really wish we were able to put a pretty awful Wales side to the sword 2nd half

@TalkRugbyUnion Better team lost, but English defence was huge. If you don’t take your chances then you don’t win test matches

Full Time: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿16-15🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 England hold on to win right at the death!! Wasn’t the performance they would have wanted but a win is a win and the Calcutta Cup returns to England!! #ENGvSCO | #GuinnessM6N

@thistlerugbypod What is the TMO doing 🤷‍♂️

Ball not grounded?!?

@thistlerugbypod Why not RoG? Im sure he’ll be looking for an international gig soon, great rugby IQ!

Right, the question needs to be asked - has Toonie taken this group as far as he can? Is it time for someone else - Franco seems most obvious candidate - to take the reins?

@thistlerugbypod Why do we do this year on year

Scotland’s Lions and championship chances be like

@BBCSport Scotland so poor, just can’t handle Ireland. Kinghorn having a mare

@thistlerugbypod To put it in a Scottish way. Its been pretty pish right accross the park!

First 30 mins review:

About as poor a 30 mins Ive seen from Scotland. Not managing the pressure from Ireland but kicking game is so poor.

Too many mistakes in opposition 22 again. Need to cut them and stupid pens out! Decent first half tho, close as expected

@ScotRugbyBlog Can’t make that many mistakes and expect to win. We kept ourselves in it but didn’t really create much in terms of scoring until we had that 20 min spell. Not WC winners for nothing. A good test

You rarely get the Boks this poor, but Scotland didn't capitalise when they had the chance. Likely to add to their lead here and make it look not as close as it was at points

@PeeblesRugby @ABDNRugby @bordersrugby Well done Peebles, excellent result

Final score 12-67! National 1 here we come. 😁😁😁 @ABDNRugby @bordersrugby

@thistlerugbypod Nope

Part of me thinks this has been worse to watch in parts than Italy - am I being harsh?

@ScotRugbyBlog Unfortunately he’s put under pressure yet again. Did the same last

Must break your heart when your teammates do that to ya

@ScotRugbyBlog Big players in the backline are missing today. So messy!

I quite agree Duhan

@SelkirkRFCInfo Quick someone go down and check the pitch to make sure 😉😁

Tonight's game against Kelso Sharks is OFF. Due to waterlogged pitch.
