    Well they’ve booed absolutely everything that hasn’t gone their way, even Seymour very obviously taking the ball into his own in-goal area. Do they expect the ref to ignore things out of charity?

    But that aside great performance from Scotland

    NZ haven’t really started playing yet.If Scotland can stop them doing that they’ll win. Not many teams can do that, though.

    Best no try half I’ve seen for a while!

    Might put a tenner on Scotland v England in 6N as it is at Boofield – always a chance that they get some revenge from last year if they play like this

    It’s like watching a game at the Stagnhenality.

    If Hogg has landed on his head no doubt it would have been red

    I’m not sure Naholo tackled him really so a red would have been very harsh imo.

    True – but this is where the outcome based issue comes in.

    Good win for England although the score flatters us a tad…

    Great half from Scotland – hope they can keep it up!

    Watson had a good 20mn until he went off – TJ clearly has a point!

    If there’s booing in Cardiff it tends to be because Cuthbert has passed the ball to the linesman. Or tripped over the corner flag. Or run into a post. Or whichever of his amusing japes he’s managed to produce to avoid actually catching the ball and scoring.

    A Nicoll remarkably restrained – and they are not even losing 😀

    I’ll take that win over Australia even if two of the worst minutes of play this weekend lead to the first try. Thought Lawes was very very good.

    Scotland look to be swimming against the black tide having failed to take their opportunities in the first half.

    How many high tackles are the ABs going to get away with ?

    Damn I am criticising the ref now.

    I reckon TJ Perenara is my least favourite player in world rugby, blokes a tool

    Edit, Barrett is a bit good isn’t he!

    Considering all the penalties on the line, why no penalty try?

    Ah great stuff from Hogg, cops a lot of stick for being a tool at times, in bits in his interview though, great player going forwards

    Scotland played well for much of the game but let ourselves down by not executing simple plays and set pieces at key moments. It’s the same old story.

    Cracking game. Doffs virtual cap to the Scots. I would have cried tears of joy had Hogg gone in at the end!!

    No clear try scoring opportunity.

    At least someone commended NZ for their win.

    It’s a crying shame really. They were good enough to win that but couldn’t score due to all of the cheating going on. Shite scrum though.

    No, we’ve agreed that there’s no cheating on the pitch – the refs are all excellent. 😆

    That was a sore one to take, NZ were better,but we go from shite to world beating to shite without seeming to have any consistency in what we do improve.

    Scotland wasted their 1st half superiority in not building a lead. They were by far the better side, certainly in the first half – and probably the second – but put nothing on the scoreboard to show that.

    Hogg needs to not be trying to beat the opposition all on his own. He was class today though.

    I only saw bits and piece of the game – at work but from what I saw Scotland pushed NZ close and even had a chance of winning. It shows how far we have come to be disappointed in losing to the all blacks by 5 pts. We need fear no one in the world now and we finished with our 4th choice front row on the park

    Roll on the 6 nations/ We need fear no one. There isn’t any set of backs in the NH to better us – thats the one positive from today and if / when we have our top front row back?

    4th choice front row by the end if not fifth

    Scotland, like all of the NH teams lack composure in the 22 / when the try line is beckoning. They should have built a score when penalties were on offer. I know it’s not cool or sexy to kick for goal, but it builds pressure on the opposition. Fair play for not getting dicked though, they certainly fronted up.

    England really haven’t clicked this autumn and don’t look like a smooth, cohesive team certainly not compared to last season. They do keep winning though, so I’ll take that.

    6N will be interesting; the press can’t get enough of Ireland, England will have a big target in them, Scotland are playing an exciting, carefree game and Wales are trying to play more expensively too. France will no doubt be France and Italy will be poo no doubt.

    Not too keen on that new green kit England were playing in today.

    And to top today off, Worcester actually won a game, beating Saints with a bonus point.

    Wuss are a bland team that plays awful rugby…However I would see the not-nots gone;so that is probably the single result this season I am most happy about. 😀

    There at Murray field yesterday great effort and composure around the five metre line really needed.

    Mr Seymour a rare shocker, price and Russell excellent, Jones and Hogg sublime. Hogg was going nowhere at the end on that run the angle and defence always meant the try was unlikely.

    For TJ Mr H Watson was immense whilst on the pitch, as was Barclay.

    All Blacks played better than getting credit for their goal is Japan 2019 and theyh have some talent.

    Great game , good day out and bring on 6 nations England will be a cracking game but England are still the favourites better players all round at the moment but Gregor Townsend looks to have benefited from Cotters work and introduced a good style of rugby suited to the Scots.

    Wales looked dire and England rolled it out
