There are few fans that will not have felt frustrated with their side at some point in this year's Six Nations
Your mood on the guardian.co.uk blog seems to have grown more irascible.

This would appear to be born of frustration, which I think captures perfectly the spirit of the championship thus far. We've had good games – Ireland-France, Wales-England and France-Wales – and bad ones, the trouble being that two of them, Scotland-Italy and Ireland-England, came back-to-back on the middle Saturday. You could just hear the Southern Hemisphere sniggering.
Frustration could well determine the performance of Scotland and England. So much was expected of Scotland, but after all the build-up they flopped against Wales. It was like a golfer missing his tee-off time.
