A slightly flattering result for the team in white

I am looking forward to tomorrow.

It's really encouraging that so many of you can find in sport a feeling of national pride, in these difficult times.

You're confusing pride with "another reason to have a pop at Scooter/Scots in general". HTHBIDI

Nicola Sturgeon has called for a replay of the Calcutta Cup game because a majority of Scots do not accept the result.

Hardly "crushing" if you let through four fairly simple tries from a much-weakened opposition though, is it...

Hey, we threw 'em a bone. Proves what a lovely neighbour we are, rather than a nasty imperialist evil overlord. It must have worked, I watched Marr, Peston & Neil today, and no sign of Wee Jimmie Krankie...

I was wondering what the Welsh contingent would find to whine about. Wales is such as great country - completely wasted on the Welsh.

Its probably because they are all so short.

At least a survey recently showed that Welsh are less racist than before. They are far more likely to sh4g a black sheep these days (credits to Vetran for the comment).

Predicting a crushing defeat for the Jocks is hardly rocket science, is it? Still, you give yourself a big pat on the back if it makes you feel better.

Let's hope my Brexit forecasts aren't as prescient, eh?

If they are you will be back to tell us all about it. If not, you will not admit you got it wrong.

I thought they played well in the second half once they had figured out what was going on. And no doubt got a rocket from Eddie
I think Scotland have shot their load, they're not going to be much of a challenge. Famous last words?

All my Scots friends seem to have disappeared today for some reason.....

That'll be real then

Where's Scooter when you need him?

[jamesbrown]

I tend to agree, but I'm looking forward to the Scotland match, because another hallmark of a good team is the ability to change gears, and no amount of coaching can substitute for that - needs real depth.
