2021 Six Nations

[Cruyff]

We should be out of sight. Same old Scotland no doubt, glorious failure on the cards.

As always England know where and when to give away penalties. I also think there needs to be a sliding scale of yellows introduced if the authorities are serious about cutting out foul play. Does a trip that didn’t stop a move and wasn’t spotted in real time by the ref justify the same time off the pitch as a high tackle? Also very early in the half when Fagerson broke towards the line he was stopped by a no arm tackle by the English centre, no mention from the commentators as it was low on the player. 

Agreed. Why not have some offences 5 mins, some 10 and some 15. A trip is a trip. A high tackle is potentially very dangerous...and worse it only seemed like Vunipola got yellow was because his was the 9th penalty in 23 minutes...

You'd think we had the extra man here

[Riddley Walker]

Outstanding game management to see out the start of that half. 

[Spellczech]

You wonder why the media keep using Clive Woodward as a pundit. Every year he says England will wipe the floor with everyone and every year he gets embarrassed at least once or twice...

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

Still think England will win this but it has to be said, they’re very limited

I was laughing when he was talking about entertaining rugby. His England team were the most negative rugby team I can remember. Very effective but hardly ever used the excellent backs he had in the team. To the extent most of the good play we saw from most of them was in a Lions jersey.

Yep, has the feeling of the usual hard luck story but we are playing brilliantly so far.

[neilnunb]

Ffs Russell. Can't afford to miss those. 

 

 

 

What a ****ing kick from Hogg into the corner.

[All roads lead to Gorgie]

Let Hogg take these please. Huge miss.

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

Again, Farrell doesn’t miss that

[Dawnrazor]

Poor miss that.

[Dawnrazor]

Some kick from Hogg.

[Tazio]

Even if we lose it will be worth it for the look of panic on Jones’ face as he went to the bench there. 

[Maroon Sailor]

Not sure what Russell is smiling about - that's a bread and butter kick at goal

 

It's the kind of miss that could be costly

When we last played them he missed the majority. 

[neilnunb]

Cracking backwards kick from the England boy 🤣

Better score here.

i’m guessing, winning the World Cup with England🤷🏻‍♂️

Doesn't make him any good as a pundit though. Why does coaching a team which has more players than anyone else to a WC entitle you to a job for life getting things wrong as a pundit? Plus he was rubbish as a Lions coach yet he gets asked to be a pundit for Lions tours too...

[willie wallace]

Got to score from this.Come on Scotand

[willie wallace]

Finishing is like us yesterday

[Maroon Sailor]

If Scotland don't win this they'll only have themselves to blame

 

Should be at least 15 points ahead

[All roads lead to Gorgie]

If we want to be a top rugby nation we need to score from these situations. Don't see them mess up like that too often1

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

Ffs, so losing this. Should be about 20 point in front

Our forwards are very good in the loose but we don’t have the massive units England have in situations like that. 

[Maroon Sailor]

For all his skill and ability Russell is always a second away from a costly error 

 

Gets a bit too cocky at times

[neilnunb]

Russell is so frustrating 

[ri Alban]

Fin Russell is gonnae cost us again.

[Victorian]

Russell is a ****ing tit.

Much like Townsend was himself TBH.  Their minds are that bit sharper and and because they are willing to take risks, it is really hard for their teammates to second-guess what will happen next also...

[neilnunb]

The beard on that 🤣

[Riccarton3]

Russell's forwards shoulders slump ad he ****s it up again

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

Come oooooon. One Scotland try now wins this 

[Victorian]

Thank **** for Hogg and Watson.  

[Harry Potter]

Cmon Scotland

[neilnunb]

Stuart Hogg 😍

[Spellczech]

Now it is time for the game to be ruined by half the teams being replaced in the last 20. Another rubbish rugby rule aimed at helping the big countries.

[Tazio]

I’d still rather have Russell any day of the week compared a kicking robot like Farrell or Biggar. 

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

Been a quality game tbf

I agree. Only 3 tactical subs should be allowed plus head injury subs. And if you go off with a head injury you must follow concussion protocol and not be available to play for the set number of days. 

[Harry Potter]

some tackles going in

[Maroon Sailor]

Redpath has been immense

Not letting the family name down. 

[neilnunb]

Another missed chance 😡😡😡

[Cruyff]

Should be smashing **** out them ffs. Hogg and Russell with shite kicks. 

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

Unreal. Will lose this to a converted try. Got to make these kicks ffs

[Francis Albert]

Kicking has been poor.

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

Just not clinical enough. You can’t dominate like this and be 11-6 up. This will hurt

[All roads lead to Gorgie]

Chances chances, don't hibs this Scotland.
