"He put a loose kick in. He wandered up to the ruck, not heading for anyone, not doing much. And then he's nowhere to be seen. But it wasn't just him. "Steve Tandy (Scotland's defence coach) will be having a lot of harsh words with a lot of people. A lot of them were one-paced going back."O'Brien calls this a desperation and says it's something that Scotland were lacking on Saturday. "There wasn't a desperation in Scotland's defence early on in the game. To get back to a point. To stop momentum. They'll be upset about that and a lot of bits during the game, because they usually work hard, they're not about that." https://twitter.com/SixNationsRugby/status/1497580034420215813?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1497660754291474434%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es3_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walesonline.co.uk%2Fsport%2Frugby%2Frugby-news%2Ffinn-russell-branded-pathetic-fellow-23230888 Previously, O'Brien has been critical of the Scots and back in November, after their win over Australia, he claimed that they get too carried away with themselves after one big win.

What they need to do is get on with it and focus on the next job. Go and beat these teams, rather than jumping around and shouting at lads. "All this sort of stuff. You're looking at them going, 'You haven't won anything major in the last while. Go on to the next job and go win these games."
