John Lambies Doos Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I'd have loved Scotland to have a crack at NZ this autumn. They look tired, unorganised and frankly dreadful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearthammer Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 NZ have always had a great squad, but they haven't factored in that most of the Northern Hemisphere countries are improving and are improving at a pace that renders their previous dominance as limited. Oh how they could do with modern equivalents of a McCaw or Carter or Lomu to give their mere presence as an advantage against teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look tired, unorganised and frankly dreadful It’s been a terrible year for them to be fair with lockdowns and various competitions being interrupted. All that said, I don’t think Foster knows his first choice team and they don’t look interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 It's been a pretty underwhelming autumn really. 3/4 wins is decent enough on paper I suppose, but I don't think we've really looked particularly good at any point. I think as well, our performances have looked a good step down from those of Ireland, France and England in particular. We've scored some nice tries, but the attack has looked disjointed at times. The defence still looks good, but the discipline at times has been horrendous, and we still can't adapt to shit refereeing like yesterday. Set piece has been poor at times as well. Some of the new players who came in had pretty tough times, and a few of the more established players look a bit off form at the moment, particularly Zander, Price, McInally and Ritchie for me, and we've still not really got a decent No 8. Russell and Hogg have been pretty patchy as well to be brutally honest, but I also feel even when not at their best they've managed to drag us through most games anyway. Will need a big improvement for the 6 nations, that's for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 And another thing that might sound a bit stupid, but I 100% think contributed to the "meh" factor of this series was the kick off times. Playing at Murrayfield at 1 pm in the afternoon, or 2pm on the Sunday is a completely different prospect to a 5.30 kick off under the lights with a baying, drunken crowd. It probably shouldn't make much difference, but I really think it does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've obviously decided we are the warm up act to the "big games". I won't be the same in the 6 nations though. Doesn't really bother me when playing Tonga or Japan, but Scotland V Oz, or SA has got to be a Saturday afternoon or evening for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when we're not firing on all cylinders We can beat Japan and Australia and take an impressive South Africa side into the second half 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
