[QUOTE="andysimcoe, post: 930932, member: 79218"] I don't think it's particularly bad what's been said. Various outlets have run with "Hogg says Scotland can/will win the 6 Nations". All I've read from players is the usual - we think can win, we've been improving, we know there's still a lot to do etc. If the players came out saying "Win the 6N? Aye right, we couldn't beat a bunch of schoolboys away from home." It's not going to do them any good and ultimately won't help ticket sales. Though I do understand the argument of - if England said the same it would be called arrogance. I think for Scotland most of the 6N history they've been poor, Murrayfield used to look like Stade de France did on Friday night, empty in places (some autumn tests they didn't open the entire stadium). The public and fans just expected them to be humped, now they're selling out every home game and not just 6N. It's what people want to hear - I too agree that it'll have little effect on the opposition. [/QUOTE]
