Disagree. You lose a little in defence but gain 2 playmakers and a vital kicking option. As good as Garbisi is, if he is the only playmaker, pretty soon he'll be marked out of every game by opponents.

Decent game against a weak opposition. Italy did spot a weakness around the rucks hopefully to be remedied.

Looked like a friendly game, happy with the result but could have kick a bit less, mainly Fickou.

What's the point of social distancing during the national when those same 40 odd players are about to rub up against each for 80+ mins?

Sometimes it’s like England players are playing the game to try to get away with stuff cus the ref won’t see us. Moronic.

No advantage for the Etoji knock on?

How can you give away this many penalties? Have Scotland given away 1 yet?

He was a mile offside and then a high tackle. This is after a warning for an endless stream of penalties.

Scotland gave the first scrum penalty.

Scotland should have really scored there, greedy by Watson

If May want to be a more effective no 8, he needs to clap those cheeks closer to his cheeks.

England got away with that one, and ground time off the yellow card.

Piss weak tackling there, Scotland should have been ushered out after botching it 5m out.
