[QUOTE="retired9, post: 1079240, member: 79608"] That was a tough watch on Saturday very very frustrating that Scotland cannot keep their discipline long enough to capitilise. France were very good and yet I feel they didn't have to play a lot of rugby to get their scores, so much was fast accurate counter attack after a Scottish balls up. A good 20-25 minutes of the first half we kept France under control and didn't gift them the ball - things looked OK-ish apart from the squandered scoring opportunities. I feel like there is a strong call to change things up for Italy, Hastings in for Russell, Jiffy made the observation on the Beeb2 highlights show where these constant big long looping passes from 10 are failing to engage the defense effectively to open up space. It works once youve sucked them all in tight but all the time is counter productive. I don't think Scotland need to change much, but the potency of attack has gone and this needs adapted (one of Russells big weaknesses Internationally for me), Finn gets too 1 dimensional when sometimes banging a few good kicks off plan into the corners would make all the difference.
