A dismal English performance despite their win.

Oh well. At least it's being entertaining. I have audio, just not video so had to imagine the "argy-bargy"

In Robert the Bruce's battles against the English the proverb later came:
'If at first you don't succeed, try try again'.

Not against the English in this match of course, but I think they may well have done even better than Samoa in that battle! This match was always going to be an impossible one for Scotland to win - Ireland are just at the top of their form.
Ronan O'Gara worked as a defence coach for the Canterbury Crusaders 2018 - 2019. I dare say he took some good tips home with him and La Rochelle have certainly benefited from him as head coach since.

Very enjoyable match... Poor Scotland made so many yards only to run up against the bulwark of the Irish defence.
