Any 10 will look shit behind a pack being pumped like this. Has shown some nice touches imo. Not least hiding behind the post so Hask couldnt tackle him!
Not bitter, just a hater. 😛
Bitter would hint at not being allowed into the club. I was born in england and through family chose Wales.
No bitterness at all.
Thats a fine performance from England. They been threatening it for a while – but they blew Scotland off the park. I thought we would get 3 tries and we have but I didn’t expect a humping. Eveything that could go wrong did from a soft yellow card to disruptive injuries and we came up against and England playing well
Right – I am leaving this thread for a while. Enjoy your victory england fans
I think false hype is a bit harsh, scotland have played well up until this game. We fell apart and never really got started but neither team looked like like the same teams as two weeks ago.
It all fell into place today for England, the Scots rocked up, pumped and thought they had a chance. England rose to the challenge and put them back in their box!
Brilliant play from the backs unpicked Scotland’s defense time after time leaving little hope for the Scottish lads. A pretty much complete performance.
Yes!!!
Well played England, the two weeks really look well used by Eddie Jones and team especially in dealing with the Scottish back row and some great lines of running.
Launchbury another good performance, definitely a starter for the Lions with Mario ijote.
Ford and Farrell were exceptionally good today. Both Lions options.
Well done England, best they’ve played all tournament. Gutted. As I feared Scotland imploded. Stupid yellow and the loss of Hogg killed them.
Ref had an atrocious game though. Neck roll should have been a yellow, being talked out that other yellow by the TMO when he explicitly said he was giving it for repeated offenses. Missed many England penalties, including that cynical swipe at the ball when Scotland passed long on their own try lines, at least two knock ons when the clock was red.
The English players seemed pretty quiet in the press this week. There were quite a few articles from Scottish players saying what a chance they felt they had a great chance, Visser saying that the English players weren’t as cocky as usual etc.
I normally wince when I see a headline about such and such and English player saying something daft because we normally end up looking silly!
Ferrals, the yellow card he wanted to give was for a second high tackle that the replays showed it wasn’t, was just a late tackle which didn’t deserve a yellow.
Plus the tip tackle could arguably been red so i wouldn’t complain too much as the score would have only been worse with Scotland at 14 men all match
Hats off to Eddie Jones, we where well prepared with the right attitude from the ko. Same next week against a team with nothing to lose playing in front of their home crowd.
Last night’s game was better to watch with two sides capable of the win. 62 points against the tournament’s second best team was a rather one sided non contest. My worry is we aren’t really that good.
