Huw Jones is apparently off to Montpellier in the summer.

Also slightly disagree with the bolded bit, I think there is a massive mix of reasons and allegiances. Watson wouldn't have played for anyone else despite not being born here. As someone who grew up in England I find it really difficult to understand the motivation for anyone either born here, or e...

I have seen some question the science behind the mouth piece. I am a bit torn. Player safety is paramount but they are adults who know have no excuse for ignorance to thr dangers so a part of me is in the camp of let them make that decision for themselves. In the game at the weekend, Fagerson was fl...

Saturday was an odd game really. We very nearly beat the blitz on our first attack then rarely managed to get outside it. As mentioned on the match thread I do wonder if Tuipulotu hurt his knee when the dummy runner crashed into him causing a knee on inside of knee collision. Overall I thought the ...

He has obviously scored a few more runs than some in this innings, but the next test should be JBs last except for injury.

This is without watching it back, but my impression during the match that England looked to shithouse their way into the game rather than aggressively go after Scotland's lead, they chose to slow the game down and stop Scotland's momentum instead of looking to build their own. It was a negative app...

Comfortably Cummings best game for a while in a while.

One thing that surprised me today in a pleasant way was that Cummings was the most physical second row.on the pitch for large spells. Dominant tackles and a physical presence.

I suspect that McDowell might start ahead of Redpath if Tuipulotu can't go. Are you sure? If that was the case, wouldn't he be on the bench ahead of Redpath today and in previous matches? I'm a fan of McDowall and I think he will have a lot to offer Scotland, but I don't see him being ahead of Redp...

Watching that 1st try, I wonder if the knee on knee contact is what injured Tuipulotu.

Think the analysis by the TV panel is right. England are easy to defend. The one decent strike move led to a try. We still have work to do on that side of the ball.

Can we stop the co captains pish and just make Finn skipper?

Just want to say, fair play to Jamie George. Been a tough old week and played reasonably and fronted up for media etc.

Must have been a really hard 7-8 weeks and thoughts are with him and his family.

I suspect that McDowell might start ahead of Redpath if Tuipulotu can't go.

Agree with the 1st bit. Disagree with the second. Genge was constantly allowed to scrummage at an angle when he was on.

Can't help but feel we got away with that a bit.

And now by Duhan.
Lucky boy the bunker stayed with yellow.

It's a yellow at most, almost certainly a yellow, but never a red.

He also didn't say release Nige.

Idiotic by Horne. Totally unnecessary.

Monye is right about VDM but that's the system fault rather than player. Tandy has his wingers push up.

Scotland back row anonymous so far really.

Both sides have offered little really.

Decent option by Ford there.

wow....Van der Merwe... I'm not a fan of him for Lions contention but he consistently rolls out the big moments for Scotland. In all our big wins he generally does something. One of Cockerills beat coaching moments was showing him a bit of love and helping him get to the root cause of his injury is...

Daly with a flop Hogg would be proud of there.

Can't believe some Scotland fans prefer Steyn over Duhan. Lunatics.

Both sides defensively weak at those tries.

Definitely more tries in this.

Nice ball.

Decent composure by Jones not to panic.

Big D wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 4:58 pm 11 minutes of dross from Scotland.

13.5min of dross.

Why is Steyn trying to keep that in? What the fuck is EMM doing there?

Genge isn't even trying to stay straight at any point.

11 minutes of dross from Scotland.

8.5min of utter dross from Scotland.

Just leave it for the 9 for fuck sake. That's just terrible play.

HIA? All he's done is give away a free kick and scrum.

That's pish defence. Jones too square and White doing nothing.
