We wuz robbed, I tell ya…
Oh that hurt. There is nothing like the bitter test of six nations defeat. It’s a taste I’ve grown used to living in Scotland, but it doesn’t make it any tastier.
I’m not normally one of those ‘we can take a lot of positives’ Scotland supporters. Fuck positives. You need to win to take positives. Taking positives out of a defeat is one of the many reasons that Scottish sport is so shite. Too ready to accept a valiant effort. To ready to leave the field bowed in defeat (regardless of how valiant).
But today, I must admit, I’m taking some positives out of that defeat. That was the most complete performance I have seen from them in a long time. The defense was good. They fought the breakdown really well. They kicked well (where the hel did that come from, Mr Parks?) and they showed some willingness to really create opportunities in offense.
Wales didn’t deserve that win. I think there are more questions than ever for their entire team. Sloppy play and poor decision making. I’m not sure what is going on, but I think it probably stems, in part, from Gareth Cooper. He’s just not up to it.
So another losing six nations for Scotland. I’m sad for Robinson right now, I think he and the team are doing well.
