The angry lesbian at first five seems really unsure what he wants to do when he gets the ball.

Advantage over?

Youngs looked 1,000 years old as he made that snipe.

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

He just made a break. Didn't have the pace to exploit it but it was a break. Put it in your diary.

Dumb penalty again. Fagerson Snr is really bad for dumb penalties.

He seemed to be running for five minutes and only made 10 metres.

Tell you what. Much prefer the ITV commentary than BBC. The endless discussions about ref decisions and rules. No one gives a sh1t and most don’t care. Adds to the average viewer confusion. Just comment the game and get on with it.

Is Sinckler playing fly half, he seems to have received the ball more than Smith.

Static.

Five yards from the ruck.

Looking a wall of blue.

I do hate this rule change when the ball is held up over the line, 5 metre scrums are great.

The Scots have had no ball or territory and are leading because England can't attack.

You know those practice golf balls they used to make, designed for you to hit in your own back garden? They were empty and full of holes and no matter how hard you hit it, the ball would only float forward slowly about 10 yards.

That's a Ben Youngs pass that is.

Youngs jumper won’t need washing after this match. It’s very very clean.

Eddie will say that’s because nobody can lay hands on him.

To be fair he’s 10 minutes behind everyone else so it’s a valid comment.

IF YOU ARE PICKING A FAST RUNNING 8 PICK PLAYERS WHO CAN KEEP UP TO SUPPORT HIM EITHER IN THE OFFLOAD OR AT THE BREAKDOWN.

It's impressive the way he's destroyed all the panache that Smith brings to the game; in such a short time.

Steve Tandy Scotlands man of the match so far.

Granted England not doing a huge deal but Scotland look as composed in defence under him as I can remember. Although Taylor was a shite D coach.

It's what I was worried about. Pick attacking players, give them a handbrake at 9 and a gameplan that forbids attacking and then justify dropping them because we lose.

Exactly.
Wouldn't have picked that pre-game or thru the half.

You're safe, he'd never find a gap as big as a grave.
