The skill level and physicality on show over the last few weeks has been amazing. 

I saw the 2nd half of NZ SA yesterday and there were a few SA players on the pitch I'd heard of.

Strength in depth is scary.

New Zealand up next, which will be a slight step up in opponents from yesterday.

Heading along with the wife next week who has split loyalties having lived in New Zealand for 13 years.

Cant wait for it!

Very much looking forward to today. Wish I.was going 

Brave decision to drop Duhan completely from the squad.

Frustrating half, spent as much time in the All Black as ours half but zero points to show.

Edit - as I type we get on the board 😀

The chances were there today and the tries against us were soft. Some of the best Scottish rugby I've seen at the start of the 2nd half.

First time at Murrayfield and it was a great experience despite the result.

Played brilliant second half and some of the rugby was brilliant. Do feel we should have punished them more given the yellow cards.

Made the fitba team look competent this afternoon 😖

Considering what was at stake, in terms of the RWC draw, that meltdown was probably worse than anything the football team has ever managed to achieve. Fair play to them because the football team had set that bar very high. 😂

At 21-0 I was already thinking about how I could manage to convince myself to support England next week. I suppose I don't have to worry about that now. 😂

Time for Townsend to go. We come up short everytime under him, hes had enough chances too

We're going backwards under Townsend. Not enough depth in the tight 5. Pack lacks grunt in general and the team has a soft underbelly with all these defeats in the last 15 mins. He has butchered two RWCs with a golden generation of talent and picks his favourites over merit.

I like Duhan but he either starts or is not in the 23 due to his lack of versatility. Max Williamson and Johnny Matthews should have been on the bench. Some fundamental selection errors yesterday.
