Even after a miserable outcome (and performance) in Rome Scotland are still in a strong position. Here’s the update – the “try” does have an effect on our current standing in the table this week, as it would keep us above England in the log – and less likely to end up 5th.
This table is a parody. It reflects an alternative reality where Nic Berry awards the last minute Scottish try against France in Round 2 of the 2024 Six Nations. The motivation for creating this site is purely a therapeutic process to come to terms with what happened on that fateful afternoon in Scottish Gas Murrayfield.

As a Scotland fan I live in a world of ‘might-have-beens’ and this is now my shrine.
Hopefully it gives other fans a grain of comfort as it has done me.

Any kind of win and we will have our first Six Nations silverware – Sweet.
Shows the Italy game was irrelevant as we still need to win on Saturday to win the tournament…although the two bonuses points helped i suppose.
We still could lose the tournaments with four wins and a loss at Ireland.
For the future of Scottish rugby a win is huge. We can mentally go into any game next year with a shout with the win in Ireland in the bag
