To be fair, if laidlaw just played the ball (he could of got it out) instead of screaming for the penalty i don't think he would of blown.

Re: Italy v Scotland, 22 February
Wonder if there is any chance the commentators could stop obsessing about Alan. YES ..WE KNOW HE COULD HAVE PLAYED FOR SCOTLAND. He didn't. End.
Not sure what game Geech is watching but we don't look close to scoring a try.

Re: Italy v Scotland, 22 February
Scotland have conceded 5x as many pens as Italy- I'd question Walsh for a few of them, but all the same they desperately need to adapt to the way he's interpreting the scrum and breakdown. Maybe stop going for the jackal because the rush defence is putting them under pressure. Just ball carriers getting isolated is the other problem.
Hopefully Geoff Cross sorts the scrum.

Tbf, he was born in Italy and his mum is Italian- always going to be divided loyalties. Why I'm so glad to see a picture of my wee niece in her baby sized Ireland rugby shirt today- she has an English dad, but my sister seems to be keeping her right. Only seven months old but you've got to start them early, you know?

This may be a bit left field but I would bring on Evans at 15 and move Hogg to 10 with Weir going off. That would bring at bit more speed and attacking flair to the Scottish backline.

Put Dunbar's line for the try there down to Hogg, wonderful pass and gave Dunbar an excellent line for the break by sucking the extra defender in.

Re: Italy v Scotland, 22 February
Add to that the Italians should have been pinged a couple of times for offside and it means it's doubly hard for the Scots not to be tackled behind the game-line.Tramptastic wrote:I wanna tear my eyes out, Laidlaw is so slow at passing!!
Yeah for the try

Just nipped to the shops so missed the try. Everything to play for now, going to be an exciting ending.

Great stuff from Evans there, two tackles and nearly turned the ball over. That's the commitment Scotland need.

Too slow Laidlaw, when Walsh says use it then USE IT. You know he will ping for things like that.
