Jesus.

Can’t believe we’ve blown it so badly in the second half. Some serious questions to be asked of Eddie and his coaching team. Gregor has certainly roused his troops this half.

We’re setting records that we really don’t want.

I got 9-1 odds. So 90 quid. I hope Scotland hold this now. Nothing to do with 90 quid, but because they were just really good.

Hey good luck to the Scots. Unbelievable come back. England left the door open for them and they've charged through it.

Didn't Scotland trounce England last year, too?

Was sitting in a bar in Finale with a couple of mates thinking we would watch Scotland get beat.

Then the Scots went ahead and all the Italians were chanting "Scozia!" at us and the barman ending up placing a bottle of scotch on the table for us to drown our sorrows..... 😁

Well done Scotland

Dear supporters of the England; now I realise I am only a poor teuchter from the benighted glen, but the clever people on here were telling me how you were going to win by 20 and 30 points...

Sorry to bang on about it but your half backs need to control the game when you're 31-0 up rather than just give it away.

Farrell and Youngs don't seem to possess a brain cell between them.

@namastebuzz, agreed. In fact I thought that Farrell was poor last week and worse this. England's anti-MoM.

I said many pages ago that England weren’t fit enough to play through the second half. You can’t expect your half backs to control the game when half your team are watching play with hands on knees after 60 minutes.

Neither side was good enough to win.

England couldn't defend a 31 point lead. Scotland couldn't defend a 7 point lead with 4 minutes to go.

England 2nd top.

and demolished Ireland and France in there, should have finished today, start of the 2nd half they just started to showboat a bit, possibly the mental impact of the game being dead as for as the championship.

Still think they are well placed going into the world cup

If I were an English pundit, this is about the time I'd start calling for the rules to be changed so, in the event of a draw, the team who scores the most tries wins 🙂

Don't think Owen Farrell should be allowed to speak on TV...

@idlejohn I take your point but the half backs started making bad decisions a long way before the 60 minute mark. If they hadn't, the last 20 wouldn't have mattered.

Besides, England had enough gas in the tank to pull it back at the end.

I was shouting at the TV for just this, penalty advatage make them try for a touchline conversion. But what a game one of the best I've ever watched as a neutral 😎😎😎🙂

He sounds like a footballer in a rugby players body.

That was sporting gold, a thrilling game of rugby

England are good when it's going to plan but really can't adapt.

Wales worked out the tactics England used to beat Ireland - shut them down and England couldn't adapt. Same today - lack of on field leadership and vision.

Unless this is sorted they have no chance of beating NZ or any other top tier side on form

Almost certainly, the weight of expectation will really help them in a world cup 😉

Hee hee 😂😂😂. He did say it would be difficult to fix and take quite some time. I’m sure he must have been thinking get a new coach 😂😂 He also said something like they should have got the extra points they threw away in the first half and put the game way - comedy gold!

Why AA do you have to resort to derogatory remarks - and yes I did check before posting.  That’s twice now, it’s just totally unnecessary to decide to be offensive, and as it’s ostensiby derogatory to British subjects, also racist.

just have a discussion and leave the insults out, why spoil things?
