Six Nations 2012: good, the bad and the ugly of campaign Fading stars Scotland rugby. Seven defeats on the bounce, their worst run since 1998, and their first wooden spoon since 2004. Andy Robinson has now won just two of 15 Six Nations contests. Appalling. Ross Ford. Scotland's line-out fell apart against Italy and team discipline deteriorated under his leadership, with three yellow cards in the final two games. Jamie Roberts. We know he still has it because there have been flashes of his 2009 Lions form, but increasingly blunted and abused by a system and a coach who see him just as a hod carrier. Patrice Lagisquet. Not so much fading as never was. France's defence under his coaching has been a joke. Chris Ashton. Petulant, lazy, selfish. Very much yesterday's man. New kids on the block Owen Farrell. It's his imperturbability which impresses most. Whether at 10 or 12, kicking, tackling, shaving... Nothing seems to get to him, and he's only 20. George North. His first Six Nations campaign and already an icon. Remarkable. Wesley Fofana. In an age where big is increasingly beautiful (not), he is proof that intelligent lines, quick feet and subtlety are still important. Chris Robshaw. Be honest. Did you really think he could hack it at Test level? David Denton. Middle name of Kipling, born in Zimbabwe and man of the match against England on his first Six Nations start for Scotland. That's impact for you. Ridiculous media fixations The size of the Welsh backline, England's cultural metamorphosis, Tom Croft's sweet of choice (jelly-baby), players" tweets of choice (meaningless), Jonny Wilkinson (still used as a point of comparison in articles on Halfpenny and Farrell), Ireland's choke defence, and cryotherapy as the reason behind Welsh success. The tournament's spookiest moment Every time Owen Farrell takes a penalty or conversion. Check out the odd, jerky way he lifts his eyes and head as he lines up his kick and prepare to be afraid. Prepare to be very, very afraid. Six Nations conundrums Why did Dan Parks really pack it in after one game? What's happened to Jamie Heaslip? Who needs Shane Williams? Why does Declan Kidney never say anything interesting before or after matches? Why can't kickers manage those huge touch-finders anymore? Why do players need water five minutes into a game? Why isn't the excellent Lawrence Dallaglio used as a co-commentator more? Lies, damned lies and statistics After four matches Scotland had completed more passes, won more lineouts, made more offloads in the tackle, cleared more rucks, won more ball in the opposition 22 and kicked on fewer occasions than France, Wales, England, Italy or Ireland yet had only scored three tries and hadn't won a game. Work that one out.
