Scotland not doing themselves any favours getting the ref feeling they can't scrummage legally

Conditions seems ok. Can see this getting ugly for Scotland if the ref is pinging st the scrum every time.

Malins maybe lacking a true winger"s pace to have a go himself there? He's looked useful, though.

Doesn’t matter what Nigel says. If the ref has made his mind up then it’s going to be a long day.

I’m sorry Sefton. There are some lines that can’t be crossed.

I hate Ben Youngs.

He's not done anything especially bad by his standards yet, just getting it in there early.

He's just soooo slow at the base. It's painful

Gregor Townsend's Scotland with a piss start in a big game. Colour me surprised.

It’s times like these that I’m picturing Brazil screaming relentless abuse at the Youngs via the tv.

Wow!

Just waiting for the ref to find a reason to disallow it

I do enjoy watching him shuffle between rucks; like a 90 year old, off to collect her pension, on icy footpaths.

TRY TIME !!!

Is that what happens when you don’t pick wingers on the wing?

Former England U20 captain scored that try for Scotland.

English pack has zero carrying threat and the Scots are winning the breakdown, too.

Ben Youngs is so slow, he kills everything. They should juice him and use him as an anti-bacterial toilet cleaner.

Scotland have had one real piece of accurate play. Rest has been quite sloppy.

How is that not a penalty to Scotland. English player on the wrong side pissing about with the ball.

Worked a good line and had support, I think anyone would have an issue (not a defence of a Quins player).

I’m bored complaining about how he kills our possession.

Christ Sweaties. Throw to second in the line, set up a base and attack from there.

It was a beautiful line and step, it would have left any English winger on his heels.

England are extremely static in attack. I know we've got the Youngs handbrake but there's a lot of standing about waiting for something to happen until you've got to kick it.

And we're shit at kicking it too.
