Defeat by Wales ‘incomprehensible’ for Scotland

Scotland must use the frustration of the defeat to England to put on a “ruthless” display at Murrayfield, according to former captain Rory Lawson, who calls the Six Nations defeat “incomprehensible.”

With a 16-15 defeat, the Scots’ 16-15 defeat put an end to any real title hopes, and they failed to convert numerous chances to add to their three attempts at Twickenham.

Scotland simply must defeat a Welsh side, according to Lawson, who have lost their last 15 Tests in interim head coach Matt Sherratt’s 27-18 defeat by Ireland in his first game in charge.

“Matt Sherritt’s changed the narrative, he’s changed the mindset of not only the Welsh team but the Welsh public.

When you lift that Welsh team up and remove them from Cardiff, it’s a different story. And I think, for Scotland, they have to exert what they would view as being this cohesion, this togetherness, this understanding of what it takes to win big test matches at Murrayfield.

“I believe they have to enter Wales, and it’s unbelievable that Scotland will be one of four after the Wales game.

Scotland must declare, “We’re going to be ruthless, take all the frustration of Allianz Stadium from the weekend.” When we get the chance in the red zone, we’re going to be patient, but we’re going to be punchy and we’re going to take our opportunities when they come’. “

Lawson says there is still plenty to cheer for in the Scots’ final two matches, which will be at home to Wales and away from France, even though their hopes for a championship are waning for another year.

” We know with the Scotland team, they create opportunities, they can create field position and they have game breakers, “he added.
