Scotland vs England, Six Nations 2020

[sparky]

Scottish hooker with another bad throw. Struggling with wet, windy conditions.

[sparky]

England kicking too much into the wind.

[Victor Meldrew]

Some of the ball handling and catching from both sides has been outstanding considering the filthy conditions.

Pretty even game.

[Victor Meldrew]

Adam Hastings looks like a star in the making for Scotland. Very solid.

[sparky]

3-0 at half time. Turgid stuff.

Really dislike the way Itoje whoops after the opposing team are penalised.

[sparky]

Scotland with the first penalty of the Second Half 3-3.

Conditions almost gurantee that.

Some good individual play though - that run and kick by Hogg was sublime.

[MiketheSnow]

England could fuck this up

[MiketheSnow]

How fucking thick are the English?

Stop kicking long ffs

[sparky]

Scotland with most of the territory and possession in the second half.

England have the better line out and scrum though. Think that will be crucial.

[sparky]

England have made many fewer handling errors, but their kicking options have been dreadful.

[sparky]

Jesus, that was a shit kick by Elliott Daly.

[sparky]

Into the last twenty minutes. 3-3

[sparky]

Neither of these sides know the old Athletic Park matra of not kicking into the wind.

[MiketheSnow]

This is fucking dreadful.

But oh so compelling

[sparky]

Can't believe that none of the coaches dug up the video of the All Blacks from the first 1996 Bledisloe of a masterclass of how to play Rugby in these sort of conditions.

At least the Murrayfield spectators don't have to sit in a Millard Stand

[sparky]

Another week, another Stuart Hogg horror?

No, scrum 5. No try.

Watching Scotland is weirdly addictive, frustrating and compelling - all at the same time
