Good game 

It’s odd how this has become a good fixture. For years it was Scottish disorganised chaos and rucking against English ball up the jumper rugby now both teams try to play.

How long was that advantage? 

 

Should have ended when they had possession in hand further up the field.

England better tactically so far. We are lucky to still be ahead.

They seem to be much more crafty in possession, we're a much more direct side. Works for us because some of our players are absolutely rapid. Mental how they can be built so big but run that fast. We need strikers like that🤣

You mean England have done well with their possession?

It looks like we are trying to play on the break relying on England giving up possession. I think we need to assert ourselves by taking it to them.

This.  Scotland need to break up the pattern of England's possession.  England will eventually capitalise if they have 70% of the ball and always up the field.  Maybe use Hogg's rocket boots more often and play a field position game.

Also, just be a bit more sensible with some decisions and infringements

Yep.  England will try to use that rolling maul to draw out pens.  

 

On another note,  quite impressed with Russell's 40 yarder at the end.  No run up and just dinked it over.  Maybe he's put on a bit of power.

I want to see us press them more from Hogg's kicks and get the back row involved. We need to be more active at the breakdowns.

Interesting they reckon the wind 2as behind England first half, did seem as though the ball was a bit short of the Scotland boot. Should help us second half if it's keep blowing that way

Haven’t really had one sustained passage of play

We maybe believed our hype a bit too much. We look very weak in the forwards.

England deserved try there.

Can't keep.giving away silly penalties. Having said that the lineout was nowhere near straight

The throw in that led to that try was not straight. Even the English commentator called it


True but this has been abject shite from Scotland. Haven’t controlled this game at all

England have been in control of this game from the start despite only just taking the lead in the 54th min. Hopefully that England try gives them the kick up the arse they need. There won't be much in this.

Don’t know enough of the rules anymore.

Does the ref suck?

Why is the Scotland #8 always going inside and not passing?

Their throw ins look the same as ours but the ref always seems to penalize us.

As I said I don’t know all the rules so maybe I’m just being biased.

Scotland might get more of a foothold as the game gets more frantic.  England have been really controlled but it might get more chaotic in the final quarter.

This is the most flat performance I can remember against England. Just not good enough!
