Yup no genuine 7 in English rugby is biting us big time….

I think having a 5 at 6 doesnt help. Wonder if the Hobbit will come out for second half

Do you guys see now why I rate Watson so highly?  I think 6 turnovers between him and Barclay.  thats whats winning us the game.  that and today we are seeing "good" Russell - the one worth the best part of a million quid to Racing.  Not the numpty who should be playing for Ayr 2nds

Its OK – we have the second half implosion to come yet.

England need a new plan, but do they have it?

Can Scotland hold their nerve?

Great for the neutral.

Oh, I’m too slow a typist.

Now that's where I don't understand the advantage - they had a massive advantage and were too shit to take it. And get another free go instead.

I think we can summarise this game by TJ saying “I told you so!!”

Whilst Scotland deserving this, No luck for us today either. Scotland no8 will get cited for as much eye contact that Ashton got 6 months for.

Fair play to the Scots, they've cleaned us up at the breakdowns.

He will. He was highlighted on Tv making contact with Hughes eye area. IMO TMO should have called it at the time.

I think the booing bf Eddie and several England players is less than classy.

Well played Scotland .

Fair play to Scotland. Took their chances bummed us at the breakdown....properly bummed us at the breakdown. English rugby needs to wake up; this has been a glaring weakness this season domestically and at international level.

Russell was very very good today as was the Scottish backrow.

Hughes didn't complain at all.  I don't think he really made contact and the camera angle made it look Worse

He was trying to hold off Hughes who was trying to lamp him

Ref called them both over, ased what it was all about and the answer was nothing really - so Hughes didn't think it a foul

I think that PoC just gave Inverdale a ‘don’t be a dick’ glare when Inv was complaining about poor reffing decisions. 😂

Might still win the championship but we could have done with the bonus point there.

Don't start all that again!  gatland does not like the way the scots play.  Every 50/50 decision over selection he went for the guys who he knows and whos style he likes.  Watson wouldn't get a game for wales 'cos he is too small despite being a superb breakdown operator etc etc

We have Cubby to hold the tackle bags, dont need Watson

I imagaine EJ’s next move will be to try and install Scotland as championship favourites. France in Paris is going to be interesting.

Other than that, quietly noting Englandish fans gone silent on this thread.
