Scotland were not mediocre they played well and showed how well they actually did last week against the French, under Robinson they look like a well drilled unit with good set play and have a creative flair. Parks looked immense today and cannot await his arrival at the Blues next season. They do lack a world class player in their ranks, but to call them mediocre is disrespectful.
