They are ill disciplined rabble these days and getting worse by the game.
Agreed. Players not giving a fuck? Another failing of Toonys management style?

Again wondering what the attack coach is bringing to the party. No penetration. The try didn't look like a planned move (hard to see from the north stand though).

We need a completely dominant 2nd had with only 2 or 3 penalties or I don’t know where we go from here.

It’s not unusual in rugby for favourites to come out in the wrong frame of mind but seeing all these stupid fucking penalties is doing my head in

First time at MF in a while. We really aren’t playing well. You do get the sense their hearts are not fully in it. Our discipline is just horrendous and I fear a proper manshaming next week.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

Fiji should have buried this, Scotland need to sack Townsend

Italy - playing well or are Samoa shit?

No don't think it was, everyone was drifting right with Darcy in acres of space. I'm also not confident that it would have reached him in time.

At the end of the game instead of the players swapping jerseys, can we swap coaches?

That wasn't a half bad pass from Harris.

Just having that exact conversation, he’s been excellent every opportunity he has been given.

Out the 22 next weekend no doubt

We do but they are getting progressively worse under Townsend.

Scotland did enough second half by strangling Fiji through the setpiece but I doubt they’re too happy with the performance.

Fiji with a bit of time together at the world cup will be a threat to anyone.

Turned over there as Lyall started stating "in the end a professional Scottish...." now I know he was going to finish with "performance", "win", "result" so I'm perplexed as to what it was.
