When considering Lions representation, Sco supporters should keep in mind that when overlooked in 2017, Sco were ranked fifth in the World (behind NZ/Eng/Aus/Ire). They were one position behind Ire, and two ahead of Wal - both of whom they had beaten in that year’s Six Nations. Just Gatland things…

Disappointed so little discussion after R2 has focused on why Sco players, who routinely punch holes & deliver with confidence vs Ire internationals while wearing a Glasgow Warriors shirt, suddenly look disjointed, error prone & lacklustre while facing those same opponents when wearing a Sco one.

Stephen Jones his usual, cretinous self. Lions article in which he references ‘Ire potentially past their peak’, ‘whether Wal players are useless’, & ‘whether Sco players can’t step up’. Yet quite incredibly, zero mention of Eng’s representation coming as a result of (frankly) luck vs Fra & Sco. 🙄🤦

Noticed @rupertcollier.bsky.social question on BBC Sco rugby podcast. Rupert pointed out, with facts/data, that contrary to standard pundit nonsense, Sco players AREN’T smaller/lighter than opponents. Unfortunately, Tom English largely ignored data & carried on with ‘Ire more powerful’ regardless…🙄

Tom English continues to talk garbage about Sco’s ‘lack of raw power’ vs Ire, even pairing Ire with Fra as examples of power teams Sco struggle with. Listeners have literally sent the BBC Sco Podcast a list of data showing comparative size/weight, yet he STILL refuses to acknowledge the fact…
