Six Nations here again and its looking like it's going to be a good one.

Will be going down to Murrayfield on Saturday and I honestly reckon Italy could turn us over. We've a couple of key injuries and players missing and I reckon we will start our campaign with a surprise defeat.

I just KNEW you were a brown brogue rugger type.

No shit Sherlock! Did you just look at my previous posts on this thread to ascertain that?

You know you can enjoy other sports than football you know, mind you not much enjoyment following Aberdeen at the moment right enough 😕

Ha, I went to Rome last year and watched us get beat, depressing, hopefully a home win on Sat though. - we cant blame injuries if we get beat, every other nation suffers injuries.

Interesting to see the score of Friday nights U20's game though, Italy will walk that one, youth strategy in Scotland is piss poor

what a feckelss display yesterday

from Duhan's yellow card to the clash between Fin and Darcy Scotland were just piss poor (although Ireland are a top team)

oh well, onto the next game

(U20's results showing where Scotland will be in 3-4 years time!)

Scotland have had an incredible pool players and unfortunately they've had Townsend as their coach.

They should have had atleast one 6 nations title, but again what has held them back is Townsend. Just a poor coach. Potato charisma.

We're not progressing are we ? Wins over england paper over the cracks in Scottish rugby, personally I reckon a resurgent Welsh team will do us (and France obviously will).

Agreed.

Welsh looked rejuvenated yesterday and will give us a hard game at home.

This is apparently our golden generation and yet we are consistently falling short.

Time for Townsend to go I reckon.

U19s pumped off Italy

U18s absolutely pumped aff the English

Big changes required in age grade development, cant rely on imports to shore up the mannies team

As with Football, too central belt focused and also depends on who your dad is.

Only having 2 professional teams (both in the central belt) means lads have to travel to training sessions a couple of times a week from as far away as Inverness (at their own expense) is not exactly ideal.

Also just created an experimental U18 & U16 league with 5 private schools and 3 clubs, furthest north participant is Strathallan (£50k a year fees!) outside Perth. Rest, aye, central belt.
