FFS.

Too many fucking stupid errors, same as the Wales game. We're now working our arses off in these games, then costing ourselves with such simple things. A lack of players who have history winning these tight games doesn't help either. For all our errors, I reckon if you had swapped Finn and Sexton today, we win that fairly comfortably.

The lineout breakdown is fair but mentality collapsing against the Irish, the openness, the lack of structure when faced with aggressive opponents?

The coaches need to give the players the tools to change that. Leaving Turner on when having a horror show - entirely coaching.

Your answer to the problem of Turner is put on an even less capable player. Turner is comfortably and clearly ahead of Cherry in the queue. 

You want the problem to be the coaching when it's obviously a lack of players good enough.

Yup. Four players playing for Lions places there, at 9 and 10 . The two Irish players will go.

Townsend can leave tomorrow as far as I'm concerned. At this point he's seriously underperforming with this group of players and he's not improved our position much if at all in the 4 years he's been here. Schooled by 2 rookie international coaches in his last 2 games.

The Irish talk about this and they find it hilarious.

Scotland don't have better players than Ireland and they don't have better players than Wales, and the Irish laugh at us for thinking we do.

The lack of progress results wise speaks for itself in terms of the coaching team.

The lineout was dreadful today.  As bad as I’ve ever seen.  You have to change the hooker in that situation to try and change it.

Lol that's bullshit. He's not saying Cherry is a better player, but when someone is clearly having a shocker and psychologically gone leaving them on is poor coaching.
