People in the post match thread saying that Tuipulotu had a quiet game. I swear most fans don’t actually watch the games or they do but just allow their bias to show.

People love to call Scottish talent “overrated” for some reason. The fact that people still think Finn Russell is overrated proves that it’s pure bias, nothing more.

I feel it’s a hangover from the decade and a half we were utterly shite, people still can’t imagine we are allowed to have genuinely good players and seek to find a way to tear them down

It’s not just fans though it’s officials and it’s impacted results and compromised player safety

The France game last year, that call doesn’t get given against any other T1 side and if it did it would finish a refs career

England this year freeman blatantly not scoring and then itoje being allowed to interfere with the conversion

The fact that World rugby have made it crystal clear that head shots on Scottish players are fine

Genuinely the best thing toonie could do for us is put a full on rassie style video up and resign because at least we’d get a fair crack for once
