6 Nations Round 3 - Scotland v England

[petej]

Refs had a poor match at scrum time. He has let Scotland off.

[Big D]

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

[Blackmac]

Imagine how far ahead Scotland would be if he reffed according to Blackmac’s constant twatting whinging.

90% of my comments are about my own teams play you dickhead.

The rest are your usual whinging about the ref,.

Dry your eyes. Your lot have got away with murder at the breakdown. Just as well as they are shite.

[ASMO]

England shit....end of message

[Big D]

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

[OomStruisbaai]

Great win by Scotlnd.

[tcc_dc]

should be a fun night in Edinburgh tonight....enjoy Scotland fans...

[Blackmac]

Played appallingly at times and the attacking structure was poor.

More whinging, you’ve always been the same.

[Uncle fester]

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.

I do agree but there's a risk officials will decide otherwise.
Don't give them the calls to make.

[Hal Jordan]

That was Robinson/Johnson levels of shiteness from England. All Scotland needed to do was wait, and then not fuck up the chances they had.

[Paddington Bear]

Exceptionally frustrating. Enjoy Scots.

VdM please fuck off. England offered little, same was true of Scotland outside of their wing.

[sockwithaticket]

A yellow... for that?

Yes? It's been that way for years.

Weird, he is usually a good ref.

Awww. You're taking this well.

I've made three comments about the breakdown the whole match.

[Tichtheid]

We didn't play that well, just three moments of magic, one from Redpath, made the difference

[sefton]

Exceptionally frustrating. Enjoy Scots.

VdM please fuck off. England offered little, same was true of Scotland outside of their wing.

A bit like of pace is what we don’t select.

[salanya]

Duhan sounds almost more German than Saffa.

Bit frustration no one can pronounce van der Merwe correct.

Fair enough, as a dump doesn't seem that dangerous, but years?

We need to up our poaching game. Though it would help if the likes of daly and slade were dropped immediately.

It’s an ancient Scottish clan name, you’d have thought we could do better

[OomStruisbaai]

Nah, he brei with the R. It's unque from or area. Western and South Cape.

You can't tip players beyond the horizontal and just drop or drive them into the ground.

[Big D]

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.

[Blackmac]

Yep, if we play like that in Rome we will have a hard time.

Always comes across as a humble, likeable guy.

Yellow every day.

[Big D]

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

Absolute piss. Appreciated England's energy and previously unseen desire to attack, but in doing so they looked exactly like you'd expect from a team coached by Borthwick and Wigglesworth. And I'm sick of hearing about Felix Jones and the amount of time it took for SA to bed in their defence - the attitude is great but we're not SA and Slade, Daly, and co will continue to cough up try after try to any competent attack. It's currently looking like madness.

Negative impact off the bench but that was predictable after Ugo Moronye's comments at half time. Stuart bad, Spencer repeatedly made bad decisions, Fin Smith missed an easy enough kick and shelled one under little pressure, Martin made an excellent carry but immediately fucked it with that knock on from the kick off, etc. Feyi-Waboso looked good, mind.

Ford and Care both made far too many errors with their passing and generally it was pretty rank stuff compared to what you'd expect from a top tier club side, let alone international.

Scotland will be extremely happy with the result if not their own performance, as a team they didn't handle England's pace off the line particularly well. Still, with the disruption of the early HIA, and losing Tuipoloto at half time, it says a lot that it was a pretty comfortable win in the end.

After the Wales game it seemed clear to me England wouldn't win another game in this year's tournament.

Must say I didn't think he went beyond the horizontal (thought a clean parallel), but if it did by all means, happy for ref to be right

[salanya]

Hear hear.
Respect and condolences to the George family.

Holy shite Borthwick is dreadful.

His after match interview.

Just too many handling errors, young guys, …

He seems to suggest England’s only issue was that they were not safe enough.

What a complete loser !!

[Big D]

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

[Yr Alban]

That was Robinson/Johnson levels of shiteness from England. All Scotland needed to do was wait, and then not fuck up the chances they had.

Yes, but fucking up the chances we get has been our specialty for years

It was the young guys who were the better players, the supposedly experienced ones were the ones who stank the place out.

Agree with that. A problem is we have a very conservative coaching set up with players who mostly don't play that style of rugby so the coaching team are trying to coach the team a style they actually can't coach. It's a painful shitshow. Selecting Slade and Daly is insane and dropping Steward is bizarre if you are still going to kick and chase frequently.

You missed the bit where the guy who has been in charge of England for a six nations, world cup warmups, and an entire world cup campaign plus the time he's had them this year is suggesting the difference between the teams was that Scotland have been together a long time and England haven't.

This was England's 17th match under Borthwick. There are only six England head coaches in history that have been in charge for appreciably longer than that.
