@AndyBurke_ @TEnglishSport Why sleep walk to the inevitable 4th/5th place in the 6N? The mindset comes from the top,. You get the impression from GT that playing well in patches is good enough, and we should be happy with our lot. Am I entitled to my money back for the Ireland game at RWC 2023?

[Ian Watt @IWGeoscience]

@TEnglishSport We've been marched up the hill so many times its worn away to a nub. Why wait for the inevitable 4th/5th place in the 6N? GT should never have stayed post RWC23. Proven inability to prepare the team for big moments. Quality set of players deserve a different approach from above.

@ConorFletcher5 @AndyBurke_ was, maybe

[Ian Watt @IWGeoscience]

@AndyBurke_ Rotten to the core if true, no need for another 10/12 in the squad. Plenty players on the Scotland tour more justifiable to replace Daly.

@WingsScotland No AI could even get close to generating images as terrifying as some of these establishments are, can we have some kind of knock out vote competition to crown a winner?

@WingsScotland This is the best thread I've seen in a long time

@WingsScotland This is like a Ned Flanders bingo card

@WingsScotland It's not all about shares of emissions, decarbonisation industry will be huge for the next 30+ years. Why not develop technologies and processes that can be exported? Denmark has a tiny share of world power consumption, but invested in wind power tech and now makes £Bns exporting

@TEnglishSport @AndyBurke_ @ChrisAshton1 Mixing your cricketing metaphors there Tom, but a valiant effort. England's achilles heel is over-hype following a win, that defence will present a lot of scoring chances. We're a temperamental side (alas), but it'll be right for Saturday, no fear anymore.

[Ian Watt @IWGeoscience]

@AndyBurke_ @TEnglishSport @Johnnie_Beattie Losing with the same high risk play-in-the-middle 3rd gameplan was grim. Too much sugar-coating in GTs postmatch. Open question now if other coach could do better. Not sure its Franco given the difference between club/national jobs and how well hes going at GW.

@WingsScotland Gillian Sturgeons vote counts Stu, as you're fond of saying

@rugbyontnt Yeeeeeeeeeeeee-ha!

[Ian Watt @IWGeoscience]

@AndyBurke_ Think Scotland will come out playing very fast and retaining ball to get the most out of a very mobile pack and hopefully early points. Bigger carriers on the bench to bring impact to the second half and improve on poor final 20 stats from last year's 6N.

[Ian Watt @IWGeoscience]

@AndyBurke_ Still a backline full of game-breakers, McDowall will go well at 12. Without Cummings and Williamson, have Scotland got the size and power to go the distance against Ireland/France?

[Ian Watt @IWGeoscience]

@WingsScotland Thanks for posting this Stu

@ScotlandTonight @NicolaSturgeon Are you seriously putting IR campaign in the same toxicity bracket as the trans debacle you created? 2012-2014 was the only political event of my lifetime to have had almost universal informed public engagement, and respectful debating of the substantive issues. Trans, well...
