It’s a real “what are we scared of losing” scenario. Feels like it’s gone way beyond the “we’re about to turn the corner” vibe we’ve had fed to us for four years or so now.

Being at the game and seeing him in action too, I’d say he was run off his feet and possibly still not fully recovered from the leg injury last week. At some point Townsend has to stop talking about depth and use it.

A book I will one day get my hands on!

Talent not depth. Townsend created a deeper team (does he trust enough?). Amazingly this team could’ve (should’ve?) beaten the ABs and should’ve won today and most pundits would’ve said no Zander no win. Rae and MM were brilliant. Mentality from the top has to be the big question.

I think this is a little unfair. I’d say Sione (and the partnership with Jones) and Zander are world class in their positions. But you’re right mainly, most of the rest are “on their day” players.

The team he inherited were essentially a World Cup semi finalist also. I know I know calls go for and against you, but world rugby basically said that team were a SF wc team…

Deserved. The BBC Scotland pod is so disappointingly uncritical. A serious rugby nation would be hammering this team right now.

Yes okay, was saying similar from my seat watching him trying to recover kicks a couple times. Just generally sick of a lot 20-30-40 min spells getting boiled down to individual errors or one ‘game changing’ mistake.

Mate you’re missing the point, every year is our year, it’s all about the hype train not the result!

Think he gave the bench players a Red Bull before they went on, figured we’d have that sorted.

Everyone was blaming Kinghorn last week, now everyone blaming Finn. Takes a team mentality to meltdown repeatedly for 40 mins at a time surely.

If an error like that is all it takes for this team to meltdown from 21-0 than the problems are bigger than one mistaken pass.

Bloody hell again?!

Yeah 100%

Meaning to listen but not ready yet, still feeling it from Saturday. One of the best Murrayfield atmospheres in recent years, would’ve been immense.

And it isn’t selfishness, BK passed/didn’t back himself/dropped ball a few times today that had try written on them.

It’s Finn—would start in any team itw right now.
