We asked for your views after Scotland’s calamitous second-half collapse against Argentina.

Here’s what some of you said:

John: No leaders on or off the field. They are incapable of reacting to the events on field. After the second Argentina try they should have shut up shop and played keep ball to take the wind out the sails of the Pumas.

Bill: When will the SRU realise that Gregor Townsend is not the man for the job? This Scotland team is demonstrably mentally fragile, and beating England while losing elsewhere simply won’t do any longer.

Stuart: The difference between a great team and a good team is now clear. New Zealand (the great team) lead 17-0 but still hold on for the win. Scotland (who are a good team) have a 21-0 lead and manage to lose the game. We just never seem to have that clinical edge to get us through to the end. Not sure it will ever come either, sadly. More hope followed by frustration again this week.

James: I’ve been in the ‘Townsend to stay’ camp for a while now, but this autumn has swayed me towards installing Franco Smith as the new national team head coach. His success with Glasgow has shown an ability to retain an attack-driven DNA coupled with an abrasive edge and mental resilience. I’m still a big Townsend fan and he remains our most successful coach ever, but I think Scottish rugby fans will be left to die wondering if we don’t make a change while some of our generational talents (such as Finn Russell) are still in their prime.

Jeffrey: After a good first 50 minutes, a completely unnecessary and telegraphed pass from Russell changed the game completely. The reality is Scotland capitulated thereafter and the whole team should hang their heads in shame. Sadly they will not do so because they think they are better than they actually are. Why were George Horne and Tom Jordan left on the bench? It was an exercise in stupidity to put Jordan on immediately after Argentina scored their final try. What was Townsend actually thinking in making that change at that time? For me Townsend needs to be sacked now as he does not have the necessary skills to install a winning mentality in this team. There have been too many capitulations under his command and the SRU hierarchy have demonstrated a lack of leadership by extending Townsend’s contract when his record would have led to him being dismissed at any of the major rugby nations.
