Actually no. That 'As long as we beat the English...' mentality is long gone. Our sights are set somewhat higher these days - I mean who cares if we beat a mediocre team that's in decline
France head & shoulders above the rest at the moment but not that surprising as they've won every single Six Nations the year after a Lions tour. Expect them to win the GS now although that's not to say they'll have another one of their inexplicable mindfucks against the English.
Wales are missing Phillips dreadfully - hopefully Peel will be back for the French game but we could really do with Phillips in the team for the trip to Croke Park. And we need to cut out the basic errors we are making - both of the Scottish tries came from Welsh mistakes rather than Scottish creativity.

Maybe because they'd tried wasting so much time in those last few minutes? Besides, it was Scotland's own fault for not having the nous to kick the restart straight into touch and thus end the game. Fantastic last 5 minutes though
