South Africa and Ireland were both able to out-coach Scotland to get decisive victories in the world cup pools last year.
While it is true that both countries have more money, depth with their playerbase, etc. - and Scotland are particularly lacking in the frontrow - I think that the scorelines were poor considering we were ranked 5th in the world.
The Toonie brand of rugby needs to be more flexible in the future. Ideally we could focus on defence while maintaining all the fun attacking plays.
Still disappointed the rumours of Townsend going for the attack coach position in the French national setup came to nothing. Reckon that could have been fun.
