[QUOTE="Crapspray, post: 716803, member: 58918"] Because Glasgow are pretty much Scotland plus a few Fijians. If they didn't come top it'd be embarassing. The last four Six Nations have been won by sides coached by Kiwis. Only England and France are coached by their own nationality. Frankly, Scotland are terrible. There is very little to suggest they'll improve in the near future. Front row is weak, with no depth. Second row, for all the talk of the Gray brothers, is leagues behind England, Ireland, and Wales. Back row, Cowan's okay, but is a way behind Robshaw, Dusautoir, SOB, and Warburton. Backs are a bit better, but Russell is raw and Hogg seems only good as an individual. Wingers aren't amazing, centres perfunctory, and Laidlaw pedestrian. That's all before mentioning that there is absolutely no depth to the squad - they're always three injuries away from abysmal. Unsurprising given they basically have one-and-a-half club sides. Solution? I have no idea. Sacking the most talented coach they've had in years won't be it though. Whoops. I'll try not to again. It was just asking for it... [/QUOTE]
