🏉🔥 England’s Courtney Lawes isn’t holding back when it comes to Scotland’s rugby ambitions! As the Six Nations heats up, Lawes has shared his thoughts on Scotland’s intense fixation on beating England, suggesting it’s a hang-up that’s holding them back from greater success. 🏆
This weekend, England heads to Murrayfield as favourites, despite Scotland previously dominating the Calcutta Cup from 2021 to 2024. Lawes acknowledges the Scots’ ability to rally in this historic clash but believes their focus should shift from merely beating England to eyeing the entire championship.
Reflecting on his experiences, Lawes feels that Scotland’s season satisfaction is overly dependent on their performance against England. “If they played every match with the passion they have for England, they might actually win the competition,” he said, encouraging Scotland to think bigger and aim higher. 🤔
After a tough loss to Italy, pressure mounts on Scotland’s head coach, Gregor Townsend. Lawes warns that England should “embrace the hostility” and use Scotland’s intensity to fuel their own fire. 🔥 England’s players are advised to seize the “perfect storm” conditions Scotland finds themselves in—revved up yet under pressure.
This clash promises high stakes and high drama! Will Scotland prove they are more than a ‘one-fixture’ team? And can England assert their dominance once more? Stay tuned for a rugby showdown for the ages! 🏉👀
