England look incredibly blunt and predictable in attack. Not feeling it for them in the second half. Scotland should take this one.

It didn’t - it’s 10-6
Even more baffling.

I'd enjoy watching an oxbow lake form in real time than watching Ben Youngs.

Feels that way.

But England will have ticked all the stat boxes to make Eddie's pointless analytics look good, so England win even though they scored fewer points.

Owens commentary is the same as his refereeing, when it comes to England he wants to play his own game.

I would so much rather hear him commentate on the game rather than the occasional interpretation of the law.

No, they're just where Eddie told them the rucks would be. Not their fault the Scots didn't get the memo.

I don't mind refs referring to the letter of the law, so long as they consistently do it.

Every time. Ref not even looking, but stands facing the Scotland line when England have possession.

I will never understand why players with leg injuries are allowed to move under their own steam. Pick him up, or at least support him, ffs.

There have been a lot of decisions that I thought showed a lack of empathy.

Lucky we have a new reconvert to 10 and a flat track bully to help turn the tide.

Yeah, he doesn't have a lot of feel for the game, but we are our own worst enemies
