Question

Why is the scotland rugby team so rubbish?

Answer 1

cuz ireland are better!!

Answer 2

i like to think of the scots as quite a decent team. theyre not as bad as say, italy, who are inconsistent, but they'll never be as good as ireland :)

Answer 3

The scottish RUgby team is not rubbish, as you say they have the Best kicker in the entire world on that team - Chris Patterson, they have great players it is just they do not take the chances that are given to them to score tries, Against Ireland they got their first Try, they are a good team, but just never show it they seem to bottle it you could say.

Answer 4

there is a clear lack of leadership on the field....

the scottish backline lacks skill and speed with the exception of patterson

they fail to take advantage of their line out and breakdown dominance

Answer 5

The back line doesn't know what to do when they get the ball. And don't forget that their forward pack is complete rubbish.

Maybe Gavin Hastings and Finlay Calder should start playng again, it might make Scotland better.

Answer 6

they aint rubbish. they are just not making the most of their advantages

Answer 7

They haven't got a decent back line. It's all very well the forwards slogging their guts out to get possession, but when the ball comes to the backs, they don't seem to know what to do with it! It's a shame because Scotland have had some marvellous backs over the years - the Hastings brothers, Kenny Logan to name but a few.

Answer 8

They have not bought through any decent players

Answer 9

Alot has changed over since a couple of weeks ago. There was a Scot on hear who said the English were going to get the wooden spoon. I think the shoe is on the other foot now. And to answer your question they haven't got enough good players.

Answer 10

They have no unity on the field. When the back line gets the ball they act like thier brains quit and they freak out.

They need better players, and some good leadership.

Answer 11

Next time Scotland are due to tour NZ, keep the boys at home, send the wives and girlfriends to get pregnant, and in the next generation you will have some decent talent.

Answer 12

The Scots have got to upgrade their rugby on grass root level so that they'll have good players coming through for their national team. I think they also need a mentally able coach to mould their team into a competitive pack.

Answer 13

Not rubbish. They play decent, honest rugby. Never play dirty, never any nonsense.

Just 20 years behind the rest of the world. Their game pattern is just too easy to predict and ignore. No other team wants to play the Scotland way.

They will really be shell shocked if any of the new ELVs go global.
