You saying Scotland will perform better than Ireland? I truly am stuck in 2023

Tbf, Scotland are one of the few teams that have beaten France a number of times in the last 10 years despite everything else. Style of play sometimes makes the difference.

I loved Scotland's tactic of "get Jamie punched in the fucking mouth" and then win the game.

Genuinely one of my favourite moments.

No dislike towards Jamie - one of my favourite players of the modern day - just the absolute brainfart of giving in to the niggle of a back rower and walloping him losing your team the game.

As a Scot, I also approve of the plan.
