[QUOTE="g6mcg, post: 887303, member: 37863"] Don’t like injuries as an excuse, affects every team and make for tedious arguments! Wales played much better - agree Williams probably went a bit overboard (I’m sure he describes at least one Welsh performance per year as one of the greats!), but they were in complete control and could have scored more. Will be interesting to see this how they fare in London and Dublin, they should expect big scores v France and Italy. For Scotland I think most of the problems came from the pack not fronting up. Not entirely clear if there’s anyone we could bring in who would make a huge difference. I think ultimately we don’t have the same calibre of player and when we’re not gelling as a team we’re always liable to these kind of hidings. Hope Price learns from the experience, but disagree with those who say we’d have won with Laidlaw. We all know Russell can flake - he’s still clearly our best 10 but it would be handy to have someone to step in when he’s in brain fart mode. More support from 9 and 12 would help but in the past even Dunbar, who I rate highly, hasn’t been able to. [/QUOTE]
