"Really, really positive, great to watch and not a boring game. There's been a lot of handling errors for a dry night, maybe that is the pressure. It's a proper chess match around the kicking game, and they are forcing mistakes, and one of those is going to lead to a try at some point."

Thanks for that. The chess bit was "[...] my will-to-power years on the international chess circuit, where I typically played with a saltire flag next to my name". Are there any Scottish exiles (or non-exiles) on the forum willing to give their views here? (probably best in a new thread).

Do you mean views on the article, or views on the whole indy thing?

BTW, I note that JR is no longer writing his column for the Herald.

Both really, though as I said, probably best in a separate thread.
