But basically apart from Italy the other 5 teams are much of a sameness and home advantage is proving critical.
As i said i am very hopeful for scotlands future now they have got a young team together and guys like TAYLOR,HOGG,KELLOCK,MCLEOD,LAMONT,DIMARCO AND HENDERSON ARE ONLY GOING TO GET BETTER WITH EXPERIENCE

Its good to have Scotland back and competing again Big T. They have been whipping boys along with the Welsh and Italians for too long. The 6Nations needs equally matched teams to provide some sort of spectacle for the fans.Not one sided thrashings.
Pity yesterdays game didn't have tries as the contact side of things was pretty good. But we fans want to see try scoring games. The management however need to get a "result" at all costs it seems.
