I couldn't see the end of teh match, but I think I can agree that Scotland would do way better if they had a half-decent lineout. Jackson was indeed much much better than last time.
Lièvremont is saying he feels a bit lost, which is understandable. He says that apart from Bonnaire (and in another note Dusautoir and Clerc), the players didn't play with their guts, but the real issue is this one:
They don't assume by their own fault, nor their own counter-performance. This really is the problem. It's as if the players didn't feel concerned with what they did (or didn't do) on the pitch.
There will be changes against Wales, but it's definitely too late and there's no guarantee that they will amount to much if anything. It's particularly irritating when you know some players (Bastareaud, Picamoles...) haven't been selected because the coach thought they didn't have the proper attitude for a professional competitor.
