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

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.

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