see Austin Healey's column from Saturday before the match was played by - Clicking Here

I normally don't let articles that are derogatory towards Scotland annoy me - but this guy is one arrogant w**ker! What the rugby has to do with criticisng Kilts, Bannockburn etc. is anyone's guess - this just points to his own hatred of Scots and all things Scottish. He's to be pitied in my opinion.

I wouldn't be surprised if Frank Hadden pinned this to the dressing room wall before the game to get the guys fired up. With the likes of that smarmy get Guscott, Healey et al - England always set themselves up for a fall. Once again - they've fell flat on their face. No wonder so many people revel in their losses in sport.

Wonder what this guy is going to write in next week's column? "Sorry, I was an arse and got it completely wrong - I guess Scotland aren't that bad a team" - probably not. It'll be the referee's fault no doubt, or the weather, or blah blah blah - but of course it won't be that Scotland actually played well.

Just thank our lucky stars we don't have twats like that writing in our newspapers - what an idiot.

tut tut! It's amazing how angry they get when they lose a match to Scotland. These upper class twits that see Scots and Scotland as beneath them are unbelievable. Smile

Funny how we hear about how we make beating the English into such a big thing and how that displays the inferiority of Scots as a people. But there's been some amount of bitterness coming out from south of the border since.

I totally disagree that we raised our game against England. I though we played in the same manner against France. More likely we raised our game against two of the best teams in the world, as Scotland has to if you want to compete.

not all bad though found this on the forum wisnae me gave us.

"Ooohhh, so now only pundits that have something positive to say about that woeful performance are to be given airtime??!!
Get Real Gowens, England were poor and have been poor for a long time now.
I rarely agree with Guscott, but he got my wholehearted backing for his comments.

My heart bleeds for those poor players that you believe are under so much pressure!! Perhaps if those players showed the same passion and pride playing for their country as the Scots - and J Guscott - always showed when playing for their country, the pressure would lessen somewhat!"

Maybe there not all bad Rolling Eyes

How do you think Scotland will get on this weekend?

I think you can beat Ireland. The fact that they gave us such a hiding 2 weeks ago could be good for Scotland as it eases the pressure on you while the Irish may be too confident for this game.

Im nervous about what Wales will do. We should win, but we should have done a lot of things this season and well, we haven't. A typical Welsh thing unfortunalty. Things go well for us so we try and think of the best way to stop that and ruin it all - and we succeed!

If cocking things up was a sport we would be World Champions!

I think this will be a tough game this yin,we might jist scrape it though.
I thought Wales were getting back to the teams of auld wi their performances last year,whit went wrong there?
I remember watching Wales in the days when they were untouchable,cannae mind the players names richt enough apart fae JPR Williams and Gareth Edwards[im sure ive got their names right],noo that wis a team!!

Problem with the Welsh team this season was that we lost Henson through most of the build up. Dont rate him as much as he rates himself but he's quite an usefull player when he's fully fit and concentrating.

Ceri Swinney was injured in the build up. Sonny Parker decided a day before the squad was announced that he wanted to retire.

Gareth Thomas is now injured/stressed after the whole Ruddock affair.

These losses meant we had to rely on simmilar tactics to last season, but the opposition had learnt from last season what we could do. The lack of strength in depth meant we couldnt change the game too much.

Other players who where superb last season havent been as obvious. Probably down to confidence - Charvis, Adam and Duncan Jones even Dwayne Peel and Shane Williams.

We also started competing in the Powergen Cup and despite Llanelli doing well in it I think maybe we've asked too much of the players. Since the Grand Slam win we've played 4 or 5 Autum Internationals, many of the Welsh team went on tour with the Lions. Played in the Celtic League. Heineken Cup and the Powergen Cup. Thomas has also had a lot of games in the French league as has Stephen Jones. Slight knocks havent had time to heel and got worse as a result.

Loosing Ruddock with all the blame and questions which arose after hasnt heped at all either. He was a fantastic coach and why ever he left it his morale and confidence in the squad and beyond.

Hopefully for the next 6 Nations we'll have more stability. The Under 21's had remained fantastic from their Grand Slam win last season so the future does look bright.

I think wee might scrape it against the Irish. Going to come down to the performacne on the day, so just have to wait and see. If we do win, I think we'll go on to win or tie for the competition.

Watching the Wales Italy game at the moment. Italy dinnae look that great. What are Wales playing at though? Italy just missed a chance to go 21-15 up, now 18-15!

Terrible score for Wales.

Terrible score for Scotland. We were s***e. Ireland weren't much better, but well deserved the win.

First away point ever for Italy.

....was like a reverse of the Scotland-England game today.

Ireland were the better team and Scotland looked bereft of ideas in the whole 2nd half. Who would've thought it - beat France and England, lose to Wales and Ireland.

Fortress Murrayfield it is then!

Thanks fer that "wolf".Aye it is a pleasure tae myself that I can be associated wi yer man Robbie the Pict. Yer man is addressing the folk who will be gathering to celebrate the 700th anniversary of Robert the Bruce's Coronation as king of Scots later this month.Whit the Pict has tae say is always worth listening to.It's a pity maist o them loons in ra big house in Edinburgh tend tae ignore him but they dae that at their peril because that's wan man wae's nae gonnae go awa.
