[QUOTE="chris walker, post: 967657, member: 45571"] First of all what a fantastic game to finish the pool stages on and a great win for Japan, for Scotland on the other hand surely this has to be the end of all the talk of how they’re this improving side and how they can beat anyone on their day and how every year will be the year that they win the grand slam. I just think that they need to start setting themselves realistic targets, like for example before the World Cup they were all coming out and saying that they’re going to show who the real Scotland is and that their target was to win the World Cup and i know you’ve got to go in believing you can win but surely they should have focussed most of their attention on that Ireland game and then went from there and as we clearly saw they didn’t. I also think that they have a lot over over hyped players, realistically what have Finn Russell and Stuart Hogg done this World Cup? Jonny Gray is one of the most over rated players in the world, yes I agree that he gets through a lot of work and makes a good amount of tackles but I rarely see any dominant collisions from him on either side of the ball. This really just caps off a bad year for the Scottish national sides, the u20’s were relegated to the trophy competition and now they’ve been dumped out at the group stages, unless there are major changes I don’t see Scotland being anymore than an 8-12 ranked team [/QUOTE]
