England v Scotland 6N

@Duluth my first impression was that he looked really unco but watching that you can see his 'style' easier. He basically keeps his upper body locked in place and everything comes from the legs. A DMac or Cully would be shimmying with their upper body. Jonah was similar but looked more graceful (probably because of a longer stride).

Strong run, good decisions and effective fend but even in slo-mo I didn't think it was that graceful, runs like Jack Reacher after a bad curry.

Fuck off Borthwick you whinging fluffybunny
You took the job on
You had time to review all the footage
You essentially chose the same team as Eddie where it matters, and it failed
That's on you cunyt

There's been plenty of chat about the shitty England defence in van der Merwe's first try.. and rightly so.
But his balance and footwork was great for a big man
When did John Kirwan debut for Scotland?
Sensational.

@Kirwan yep, his running style, swerve both reminded me of JK

Was uncanny, the swerve, fend, step and pace. Great try

Scotland had less than 30% territory

Scotland had less than 30% territory
and yet Eddie ruined the English forwards according to Steve Borthwick.

but what a difference a year makes
Borthwick defends Jones after 'punch bag' claim
England head coach Eddie Jones saw Steve Borthwick join Leicester Tigers in 2020

SA mark 2
70 open-plays kicks in the game against Scotland on Saturday, 34 by England and 36 by Scotland. The difference looks negligible: but scratch the surface, and 13 of the England kicks were launched from positions inside the Scotland half, compared to only two by their opponents.
