pounding

another gallant, yet futile display by scotland last night. we were out-classed, pure and simple. i try and not be negative when a team gets a new coach (whisper it, but i was giving vogts a chance right up until the end). wales are world class at the moment, no question about it. if there's any other team i would want to win the grand slam, it's them. we have to realistic though, scotland does not have the players at the moment to make a up a class side. we can certainly play when we want to, making up 19 points in the second half shows that, but it's unrealistic to think that we have the right at the moment to be winning games against sides that have two years ahead in development over us. williams is a good coach, he's proven it in the past, and i'm sure he'll prove it in the future.

enternal optimism? probably. but then it's advisable to have lots of it when you're a scotland fan. i'm off for some tea, and lots of it.
