ABs v Scotland
-
Genuine question: is that an issue?
Is standard term for Scotsman here (like Boer, Frog, Paddy, Pom).

It would take a lot longer to answer properly than half past two on a Sunday morning allows.
The short answer is that using "Jock" isn't cool -

I guess you are okay with "Kiwi"
We only have derogatory shite from the English, such as Sweaty or Jock, that is why I object to it

@booboo
Hence you (plural) being fine with it - we didn't choose those nicknames for Scots -

I don't want to get too ott about it all, I just don't want to be defined by English people, that's all

What name would you like us to call you?
Also, I'd like an itemised list of all the yellow cards we should have got (you can also provide the one that the
jocks,Sweaties, damn this is hard - Scottish people missed out on as well, you know, for balance).

@talisker most people don't choose their nickname?
When I saw a Scots hand emerge from a ruck to grab the ankle of a defending player for the umpteenth time, the nickname "Skirt-Wearing Mother@$%r" sprung to mind, but I've calmed down since then.

Apart from the first half against France, this has been a pretty rubbish NH tour by AB standards.
Well, very recent standards maybe.
We've not lost yet, and I've seen a few losses on NH tours in my time. Um, like last year.

I do get why people are unhappy with the level of errors currently in the AB game but in terms of scorelines, we haven't really shellacked teams on a NH tour since about 2010.
I quite enjoyed this match, the crowd was great, the intensity was good, the Scots were very good (but not magnificent) and the AB's when the held on to the ball showed they are still capable of being astonishing.

When I shouted "ffs, ref those cheating cynical bastards are deliberately stopping any chance of quick ball by whatever means necessary"
I wasn't really thinking about a collective noun for the ABs -

two guys were binned, I thought a couple more could have walked, not for the in air collision, that was nothing, but for the infringements at the breakdown as we were looking to score late on.
Hames definitely won a scrum penalty by driving in and up, and that was a big turning point. (I've watched it again now)
I was more responding in kind to the lighthearted leg pulling, but you did ask
-
@rocky-rockbottom I'm all for the game being more competitive, but through other teams catching up, not us dropping back (I know that sounds arrogant, but we have been poor this year at parts of the game we usually dominate - silky skills, counter attack, off loads, handling, last 20)
