Call us naive, but until Mike Brown came out with his thinly veiled dig at Scotland and Italy, we never even considered that Scotland would take it easy on Ireland. However, if you believe some individuals, that is 100% unequivocally what happened. Just take the London Metro's wonderful headline yesterday as an example.
In reality, we know it was all down to Ireland's play but allow us a moment to indulge in some schadenfreude with these reactions from England and Wales fans.
Cheers for being so so shit Scotland! Your anti-English bias is a disgrace! You'd rather get battered at home to help Eng lose! #6Nations

I reckon scotland lost to lreland heavily in the rugby on Saturday on purpose. So England wouldn't win 6 nations#rebuildthewall

Scotland gave it Ireland on a plate. Fucking Celtics sticking together. Fuck off.

There's plenty more where that came from so we might even update post with some more if we have to time to wade through the metaphorical tears.
