When they run out there is a plinth. Surely they should have the wooden spoon on it :)

Found that hilarious. Also great how nail biting the game turned out to be.

This is very much Glasgow vs Italy. The tactics are roughly the same. Even the Exiles from Glasgow are forming into that mode

What an odd time for a box kick. There was nobody to chase it and it didn't gain them anything.

All the Glasgow players look like they want to offload but keep hesitating. I wonder off Cotter has told them not to risk doing so.

Horn is so bad a returning kicks it's laughable.

Also can nobody in Italy kick at all? Even a club level kicker would have them ahead now!

Italy should have been pinged for forming a maul before contact was made as well.

But hey got to play the ref even if he is George Clancy

Scotland have a fascinating capability for being very slightly worse than their opposition. This ranges from NZ to Italy.

You don't see many teams able to reform a maul after it's legally been brought down. Great awareness and timing from the Italian forwards.

Plucky Brit is right in that it's phenomenal how Scotland can range in being slightly worse than their opposition right up to NZ.

In any other situation being only a couple of points off NZ in a test would be a good sign as it implies being as good as. In Scotland's case no such comparisons can be made - their shitness has a range.

I imagine you could make a thesis out of this.

Bergamasco at scrum half springs to mind, or possibly Shontayne Hape.
