[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 378806, member: 44360"] There is a reason I have been defending Dan Parks and this game partly shows why he is Scotland's best chance to win. I like Jackson don't get me wrong he has played well for Glasgow and has a good career ahead, but Scotland seemed comatose when he was in. When Parks was inserted the whole attitude changed and I think the only mistake was in not lining up for a potential drop goal to tie when the Scots were in deep with about four minutes to go. Euan Murray was not missed at all. Richie Gray has been a breakout star this Six Nations another solid performance. That being said what a dissapointing Six Nations campaign for Scotland, a winnable game lost here a dreadful performance aginst Wales and a gutsy but lacking finish performance against France. England will be tough at Twickenham and even Italy wll be hungry for a win, I think Scotland avoids the Wooden Spoon but not by much. As for Ireland is there another team in the world that plays up or down to their opponents as much as they do. Pull out ugly wins against Italy and Scotland but challenge France in a pretty inspired match. Not just this Six Nations but plenty of other examples, luckily they seem to squeeze out those narrow wins over the underdogs but at the RWC bonus points will count and Italy won't be a total pushover.
