Scots outplayed

The Treasury have never truly supported the stop smoking campaigns because it costs them money both in reduced tobacco revenue and state pension paid longer as ex-smokers’ survival statistics show them living longer. stopped? Sounds like a total waste of money. Again.

Mixed views on this one and some over-reaction from commentators as usual, particularly about Townsend. This was always a banana skin for Scotland. The US are a decent and improving side and they are big, mean and abrasive.

Ross Kinner Why is the result such a surprise, the US had won five in a row, a settled side and were playing at home. Their players were from EP, Pro14, etc with lots of international experience and the conditions were difficult. This tour for Scotland was about building a bigger squad, looking at some of the developing youngsters and giving some of the regulars a rest.

Steve Ivy It’s all a learning experiment with lots of new players. You can’t win them all or be arrogant enough to think you can. Good for the USA going for it and winning, it can only be good for world rugby.

Paul Bon Scott One match does not constitute a disaster. This was Texas in June, Murrayfield in November would be a different game.
