    Being outplayed and out thought at Murrayfield showed others how to beat them and the belief they could do it.

    Giving away far too many penalties and constantly losing it in the scrum. Simples!

    I'm not sure what's gone wrong, Eddie doesn't seem to know either. 12 months ago we could have put out our 2nd 15 and beaten most teams in the world quite comfortably, now we're being embarrassed by mediocre teams like Scotland and France, it was even a close run thing against Italy.

    It must be one of the biggest and most sudden falls from grace by a top team in any sport for some considerable time, and suddenly they look so bereft of ideas, who knows where the fall will end.

    Sounds just about correct as to how I feel as well. I shall have to watch some of BT's paint drying ---he seems to think that that is exciting

    I love Union, a proper game, League is just a sideshow, big in Yaarkshire, Perpignan and The Lebanon I believe, which tells you all you need to know about it.

    But Union does have a problem, the scrum, it's a farce and a time consuming, boring farce at that. It desperately needs sorting.

    There you have it in one --more or less. Scrums, rucks and mauls make up 95% of the game and all take up so much time. You then add the lineouts and you have a real boring farce in a proper(?) game. Each to his own, however, one is very much overhyped whilst the other is just happy to get on with entertaining its followers.
