Six Nations 2022: Scotland effort explanations to rely on building fast

With the Scottish show moving to Wales, it might be suitable to mention Sam Warburton here. The good man has been saying motivating things about the Scot lately. The former captain of the Lions of Wales, England and Ireland is a fan of the team and thinks they may have something special. Six Nations Rugby Fans can buy Six Nations Tickets from our website.

Ritchie is a Cardiff player who is likely to miss most Six Nations games

He thinks they're going through a spiritual journey from seeing themselves as hazardous losers, with three wins and steady progress in their hearts, to something completely different.

They started acting like those who knew they were real competitors in this tournament. Warburton saw it, we can all see it now.

Saturday was far from their best presentation. They won despite meagre control, despite a 17-10 deficit and hard work, and despite the brilliant Jamie Ritchie, one of their totem leaders, being carried away on a wheeled stretcher.

From that enviable position, they turned things around. That's what championship teams do.

Warburton's team won a major in 2012, and all three of their games were tight. They come to trust that they will succeed in every match, even if they don't.

If the victory in Cardiff on Saturday - and they should, although their poor performance in Dublin will certainly set back the Welshman - they'll be home to France in the thin air of two.

The Scot's mentality is a return to confidence, but if their winning habit spills over to Cardiff, that inner silence will be blown upside down, and they haven't won since Brendan Laney came on board.

It goes without saying they shouldn't have won on Saturday - England own 62% of the territory and have spent two and a half minutes in Scotland's 22 games, while Scotland was only 54 seconds away - but they want the right moment for a crucial contest. Their first choice stood up. Their couch is great. Their nerves are strong.

Replacement is very important. One of the big bounds made under Gregor Townsend in recent years has been the quality of his replacements.

In the 52nd minute, he replaced the entire front row for a job. Pierre Schoeman, Stuart McInally and WP Nel started poorly when they conceded a scrum penalty leading to a try by Marcus Smith, but they were excellent from set-pieces and afterwards.

Schoeman takes it with him. When Ritchie was out Magnus Bradbury came in with a strong lead over him. The only thing he lacks is a serious player mentality, Bradbury has all the qualities to be a talented player. This season he looks like the player everyone thinks he can be.

Jonny Gray left and Sam Skinner, who stole the lineup, came on. Ali Price ran off and former goal scorer Ben White reappeared. Sione Tuipolutu was a key entity in replacing Sam Johnson. The quality has not gone down. If everything, it's improved.

Ritchie is a Cardiff player who is likely to miss most Six Nations games. It was a sad blow to a great player and the biggest setback at the time. But there is cavalry. Not Ritchie's level, but just as powerful.

Townsend can let Bradbury slip there, which is the most likely outcome. If necessary, he is Nick Haining, one of the unacknowledged champions of Paris a year ago. He has husband-to-be Rory Darge as another option. Andy Christie played a blind role in the Saracen attack on Bath on Saturday. The complexity is there.

In keeping with the games plot twist an hour later, when Luke Cowan-Dickie falls into Finn Russell's trap and then threatens to twist all those terrifying fights into death again, somehow, this guy's not a glitch- expert, an unreliable flanker or a clumsy second-row that's well-suited to fixing things through gaffes. It's the shortest man, Darcy Graham's gem.

Elliot Daly charged, Chris Harris attempted and Graham swooped. Hardly the size of a chair leg - but with huge impact at some crucial moments - the winger grabbed England's possession and it was done. Murrayfield, his collective nerves shattered, exploded.

The fatal fear that some - many - fans will bring them to the stadium is false. Warburton advises the Scots in the best possible way to get over themselves in this regard.
