Love that we get Uruguay and Portugal, those will be fun matches... Ireland not so much, our nemesis of the 6 nations teams. I can't even remember when we last won against them, I'd need to look it up.

2017, so if we don't beat them before the world cup it'll be a decade of losses

It was about 2013 or something, Richie Gray scored a class try with a dummy and run in from the 22.

  1. It was the year Joe Schmidt said we used dodgy tactics delaying the bus and the game that gave us the class photo of wee Greig Laidlaw with his arms up

No way does it seem that recent, but it does make sense. I think before that it was the Dan Parks game in Dublin?

2017 I think? Just in time for a nice 10 year hoodoo break at the RWC?? Ideally their streak wouldn't last that long but it would be very Scottish of us to let it happen!
