[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 967666, member: 56738"] It’s a tough one with Scotland as Vern Cotter definitely made serious progress with them and I do believe that if he had stayed in charge until now they would’ve qualified through the group (be it at Ireland or Japan’s expense). Toonie had/has this romantic idea about the game and he justifies it by saying it best suits the players he has available. Well I disagree and reckon Vern, Schmidt, Warren or Eddie would get more w’s playing a more ‘boring’/pragmatic style with those same players if I’m honest... while Toonie is just building the appropriate narrative to justify the use of ‘his’ (frankly crazy under the circumstances) ideology. I take no pleasure in ragging on him or the Scots too much right now but... I would simply judge Gregor as a fantastic Backs/Attack coach as long as he was part of a coaching team that would be wrangled by pragmatism. [/QUOTE]
