Sir Graham Henry earned a considerable consultancy fee this year for stating the bleeding obvious: if Argentina were to challenge in the Rugby Championship, they would need to score more tries.
This hardly felt like rocket science or an observation beyond the realms of any casual armchair observer, yet it wouldn't be bad business on the part of the Scottish Rugby Union if they were to fly Henry over to repeat his sage advice.
Over the past few years the Scots have made the Pumas look like the great entertainers of world rugby. Nobody does dour better than Scotland and it seems a long, long time since Andy Irvine was setting the world alight with his swashbuckling running from fullback.
Creativity has been the missing piece, or the biggest missing piece, of the Scottish offering in the past decade. They haven't had a touch of genius since Gregor Townsend was in his prime in the mid-90s.
Rugby needs beauty as much as it needs the beast and however apparent it might be that Scotland need to do more with the ball, that point just isn't getting through. The picture is a little clouded by the fact that the Scots have enjoyed a handful of famous victories in the past few years against highly ranked opponents. Since 2009 they have beaten Australia twice and South Africa - yet secured all three victories without scoring a try.
