The kiwi match officials went fine.
Yeah. Only 2 games, but so far the Reffing has been good so far with minimal stoppages and a bit of common sense on what could have been contentious decisions. Hope it continues

I lived in England for over 20 years but as this game progressed wanted Scotland to win. Just more adventureous and took their chance's esp with England's defense not a strength
One comment on the BBC website. Saw this made before the game too. Will a change be made here
John Barclay. Former Scotland captain on BBC Radio 5 Live
The Marcus Smith and Owen Farrell axis doesn't work. England were great going forward but how many times did we see Marcus carry the ball to the line? He did that as no one was there to pass to.
If you have someone outside, someone who can bring the power game, and you can change distribution. You saw Smith and Farrell carrying and while they are smart rugby players, they aren't the strongest ball carriers

Pretty horrible to see VdM run straight through Smith for the try.
Get fucked. That was poetry. Like a white Jonah.
How are you still sober atm?

I don’t get up to watch sport at 3am anymore. I value my sleep far too much.

Smith should be ashamed of that. Zero urgency just jogging across. Farrell also made a bunny but you could argue he was over running to make up for Smith.

Ireland will pump both of these teams.
Scotland maybe
Not England

Fantastic Scotland
Not all doom and gloom today 😉
VDM try a thing of beauty
England are one or two selections from being 6N champions
Smith or Farrell, not both
Good strong inside centre, not Tuilagi
A better backup than Youngs

A big problem is that Farrell has been de-powered tackle wise. He is not a defensive force if he can't put in high-ish league hits.
Against Ireland you want to defend outside in and take away Sexton's options. I'd be asking my 12 to target him all day. Marginally late hits a priority.
