We didn’t turn up. Sadly.

Worn this with pride and anticipation for months! At last the big day comes; start of Scotland’s Rugby World Cup 2019 campaign....

What an anticlimax. Scotland’s team are very experienced .....but today made far too many mistakes. And were outclassed by Ireland, number 1 team in the World, who took every opportunity and showed great attitude. By half time they’d their biggest lead ever against Scotland.

Even with an Ireland Yellow Card Scotland made no progress in the second half - no points at all.

Beaten 27-3. The biggest points deficit against Ireland in 50 years I understand.

Sad to see Watson off injured. A real asset to the team.
