Six Nations: Try no consolation for Sean Maitland IT WAS not the dream debut that Sean Maitland envisaged and the typically straight-talking Kiwi admitted that scoring at Twickenham could now hardly hold less significance. Maitland's try after just nine minutes of Saturday's Calcutta Cup lifted hope among Scottish fans, and briefly put Scotland ahead, but Maitland, who scored two for the Crusaders on his last visit there, insisted that it meant nothing after failing to help end a 30-year wait for victory in London. "I'd rather get the "W" [win] than score a hat-trick," he said. That's just me. I'd rather get a win for Scotland, especially when we hadn't won here in 30 years. So it was a pretty disappointing debut. It's just pretty frustrating. Obviously, we have some quality backs in that back-line and we didn't get many opportunities, but that's just footy. Everyone [in the squad] will have their own opinion and we just have to bring all those opinions together and have a good hard chat together and just look each other in the eye. The first ten minutes I was bloody happy, getting my first try and playing against England at Twickenham, and it was a dream come true, but the last 60 minutes was really frustrating, being out wide and not really getting my hands on the ball. That's what I love to do, touch the ball. It was a bit of a tackle session pretty much the whole game. We'll put the England game to bed now, look at the positives and negatives, and have a good week and get some confidence out of the week, and then look to take confidence through now to Italy. If I get the opportunity it's going to be a dream come true to play at Murrayfield. I've played there once against Edinburgh, but, hopefully, the fans will get behind us and watch us claim a victory. Sharp analysis among players is crucial now as they seek to turn it around quickly and ensure they do not make the same mistakes again. Greig Laidlaw, restored to scrum-half on Saturday, is confident that improvement in the tackle area and defensive line-speed specifically is not beyond the players" skills. He said: "It's not rocket science to fix it. It's about getting there quickly, getting your head in there and producing that quick ball. If we can do that against Italy we should come out on the right side. There were some a couple of good things in there but we let ourselves down with basic errors at the tackle contest when we were defending and attacking, not clearing out rucks very well and not getting quick ball. We made it hard for ourselves. It's just about reading the situation better this week, getting there as quick as you can and getting the body position to get players out. There were a couple of times when players went on their own as well when they should have passed and that created more problems for ourselves. We created opportunities and scored a couple of nice tries and, for a lot of the time, our defensive shape was there but we weren't coming off the line. That's also something we need to work on through the week, getting off the line and making dominant tackles to slow them down.
