[QUOTE="retired9, post: 1117947, member: 79608"] Easier posting here than on the CC thread it’s too busy with whinging… First of all, where did that CONFIDENCE come from?? I have never seen Scotland look so calm and collected that I can remember. Really really pleased how they approached this game. An unusual game in a way, it seemed to be mostly England which we absorbed and managed pretty well. Defence did what was needed overall, albeit there will be more organised challengers to come. Nel seemed to hang on ok, didn’t seem a scrum heavy game to me and there wasn’t endless resets. Happy with White, and also Horne when he came on. Price will have a job to do getting back in the starting 15. Great from Finn, had to take a lot of attention in the first half but just showed his class. 12 and 13 really worked for this game, for Wales we could stick with it for another round I think. Big fan of darcy but Steyn is some unit as well, very impressed. Headlines for VDM and rightly so, he was the X factor that made a big difference. Back row forwards also had a strong game, no Watson but some real challengers in there to cause some head scratching. This has to be backed up against wales who no surprise were much tighter in the second half than the first against Ireland. However, I fully expect our scrum to be used to give them a hard time, and the backs to capitalise on that. [/QUOTE]
