Calcutta Cup match thread

[Blackmac]

Christ, it's the hope that gets you.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Come on Scotland.

[Hal Jordan]

Ludlam has a really weird body shape.

[Ovals]

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

Yet Nigel Owens says England were doing exactly the same thing

[ScarfaceClaw]

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

[sefton]

Come on Scotland.

[Hal Jordan]

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.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Come on Scotland.

:sick:

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

[Crash669]

I hate Ben Youngs.

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

[Margin__Walker]

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

Been merrily chucking it at ankles and kicking it away.

[I like neeps]

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

[ScarfaceClaw]

I hate Ben Youngs.

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

[Punter15]

Wow!

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

[Hal Jordan]

Terrible missed tackles and sitting on their heels. Fuck.

[Big D]

What a try. Lovely and crisp.

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

TRY TIME !!!

[PCPhil]

Typical England. Brains asleep.

[ScarfaceClaw]

SPLOOSH

[convoluted]

Fantastic deception for a glorious try.

[Punter15]

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

[sefton]

First bloody attack.

[Crash669]

This continues to be true.

[Kawazaki]

Former England U20 captain scored that try for Scotland.


#poachwatch

[ScarfaceClaw]

Has Finn Russell has his teeth done?

[Hal Jordan]

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

[Kawazaki]

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

[Big D]

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

[ScarfaceClaw]

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

[Hal Jordan]

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

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.

Graham is nigh on impossible to stop in that situation

[Big D]

More dumb play by Scotland

[sefton]

Same old shit discipline is going to cost us.

[ScarfaceClaw]

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.

[Big D]

Mistake by Hogg there. Needed to let it go out.

[Crash669]

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.
