Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He ra tino whakamiharo i te whutupaoro. I whakaaro ahau he mea whakaongaonga pea, i tumanako ahau he mea whakaongaonga engari kaore au i whakaaro ka eke ki nga taumata i eke ai. He tino mihi, nā reira, i tukua e Kōti rātau ki te hopu i a rātau i roto i te kōrero i whakapuakina, kaua ki te arotahi ki a rātau mahi i te ringa. I te haurua tuarua i BT Murrayfield, ka ngaro nga tangata a Vern Cotter i te kaupapa kaua ki te mahi tika i nga mea taketake kaore ano kia kitea he tangata e tohutohu ana i nga meneti 20 whakamutunga. He taha kore wheako, ā, i kite mātou i taua ngoikore i te Rāhoroi. I mutu te pakanga pouri a Scotland ki ngā Whenua e Ono me te whiu 40-10 a Ireland i Murrayfield. Kāore i te tika kia tukua atu e Rātana ngā tohu 40 ki te kāinga, ā, ka hinga ki a Īrana mā te 30 ngā tohu. He toa i nui te whakaari, i te mutunga, he iti noa iho, a kei te haere tonu te rere pouri o Scotland i roto i nga Whenua e Ono. I roto i ngā tukinga 12, kotahi anake tātau wikitoria, ā, nā te wikitoria i te meneti whakamutunga i Roma i te tau whakamutunga. Ko te mea nui rawa atu. He tino mamae ina whakaritea ki te kāhua me te kiko i whakaaturia e te Irish, Ingarangi, France me Wales i runga i te mea he ra whakamiharo. He mea whakamiharo te heke iho o te whakataetae ki te hēkona whakamutunga o te kēmu whakamutunga engari ko te mea i tupu i mua i aua wā mate uaua i tino whakamiharo ai te Rāhoroi. Ko te hinganga nui o Scotland i te Rāhoroi ko to ratou tuarima i roto i te whakataetae a ka mutu i raro o te ripanga. I whakaaro ahau ka nui ngā piro a Wales ki a Itari engari i mahia e rātou i roto i tētahi whakaaturanga whakamataku i te haurua tuarua. I te mutunga o taua kēmu, e 28 ngā tohu te pai ake o Wales i a Ireland, ā, ka rite ki te kaute anō, ka kitea kua mutu te kēmu, ā, ka wikitoria a Wales i ngā Whenua e Ono. Engari i ngaro i a rātau te whai wāhitanga, ā, i eke a Itari ki raro i tētahi atu pito. He whakamanamana a te katoa i Itari, i Ireland, i Ingarangi, nā te mea i whai wāhi ai ēnei whenua e rua. I whakaaro ahau ko Wales tonu te mea pai, ahakoa i whakaaro ahau ka wikitoria a Ireland me Ingarangi i a raatau keemu, kaore au i whakaaro...
I mutu a Scotland i te pito o raro o te tūnga i roto i nga Whenua e Ono. Kua hinga katoa ngā tangata a Vern Cotter i ngā tukinga e rima, ā, kei te haere tonu to rātau rerenga pouri. I whiua e Ireland a Scotland 40-10 i Murrayfield i te Rāhoroi. He koretake te wheako o Scotland, ā, i whakaatuhia te koretake.
