damm, just noticed, we have inadvertently lifted the sweaties off the bottom!

Give us time, TTT, we Jocks will soon be back where you feel we belong!

I should have added above that, in last year's Rugby World Cup - but for a grotesque refereeing error in the dying moments of Scotland's game against Australia - Scotland should have been one of the semi-finalists. England didn't even make it out of the pool stages!

Yes quite right about the World cup QM, not that the Scotts bring it up much! But that was then this is now, you have lost 8 in a row in the 6 nations and not beaten England since 2008 (I was there!) at Murrayfield and not since 1984 at Twickers. You've got Italy next, that's going to me the best chance you have to avoid another wooden spoon. Good luck! Oddly enough Your last victory was by a single point against Italy!

I always figure that Scotland and Italy will be "vying" for the wooden spoon at Six Nations time and 2016 is no different. It just amuses me when Englishmen raise the matter as if it were a source of great anguish for Scots. It isn't. Of course, we'd rather win, but we have no real reason to imagine we will.
The occasions I thoroughly enjoy - few and far between, I know - are those such as you experienced yourself in 2008. That is when England turn up at Murrayfield, imagining that is all they have to do...turn up...only to be sent homeward to think again. These are priceless!

I'm sure you'd win a lot more games if you employed a hypnotist to convince all the players they where playing England before each game.

a good second half. But I expected EEngland to beat Scotland and Italy, on the grounds that they always do. Slightly tougher challenges to come but having a good foreign coach does make a difference.

If we are to consistently win against the Southern Hemisphere teams we need a strong six nations. I am constantly disappointed by the Scottish team!
