As Sturginho said, a defence coach needed and lots of tackling practice

Hogg is really hamstringing the Scotland attack from 10, his passing is very ordinary

I’d have to a agree with that, not a criticism of Hogg, would just be different with a proper stand off

I agree - too much passing before committing defenders 🙈

More than that, it's slow and inaccurate.

Italy need to harden the f**k up. Epitomised there where Sco throw the ball loose and (adv aside) a clear chance for a turnover and maybe even a break away try. Instead Varney showed as much appetite for going for the ball as I would for eating a Muckdonalds.

Unless Italy address the issue of 1st up tackling, they are going to continue in this vein. Sorry to say it, but some of the efforts look seriously tackle shy.

Having been on the end of crap like that often over the years i really feel your frustration. Good that a young team is getting experience but hope it doesn’t just damage them

You'd think. But they make it up as they go along. It's obviously too.much to ask for some consistency.
So I squares up, casual like.

Not for me no, yellow though yes, was an illegal clearout, suspect the ref is invoking the mercy clause

Well at least they are consistant, over 40 points conceded per game.

Just the levels of dim that are staggering. You wonder if they have even read the Laws in regards player safety.
