@MiketheSnow Interesting chat this arvo with Scottish mate. Reckons that England without Twickenham crowd might be vulnerable there for once this year.

Can’t see it

My money would be on home side, but Scottish 23 better than for some time.

Italy playing like a very bad Italy.

France ahead by 24-3 after 35 minutes

@Victor-Meldrew yeah the attack has the right idea but just too ponderous and too far behind the advantage line.

..and far too many errors.

PS: The woman doing the analysis on the ITV feed, Danielle Waterman, is bloody good.

[Bones]

That was a sweet try. Are they coming back for the knock on?

France clinical.

[Victor Meldrew]

@Bones

They seem to have some good players, - Garbisi looks class - but as a team they look awful.

[Bones]

@Victor-Meldrew yeah that Argie looks bloody handy too. But just no continuity - they have had loads of line breaks but absolutely zero support!

England look like a test cricket team in their “cream” colours

But nice to see a jersey without a sponsor across the chest

Ben Youngs is England’s TJP. The tragedy for England is that they don’t have their own Aaron Smith

Met him once. Top bloke.

So far (in case the Curse of the Meldrew's strikes) Scotland's game management has been on another planet.

Impressive stuff.

Sarries types off the pace.

The International Barbarian Team based at Twickenham known as England have been very, very poor in this match. Scotland should be out of sight. Poor Scottish attack and the referee are keeping Eddie's mob in this.

Dunno. Think the Ref has been fine - Scotland have nullified England at the breakdown and their defence has been outstanding, as has their kicking out of hand.

Too many missed opportunities & kicks from Scotland have made this closer than it should be.

@Victor-Meldrew and a possible choke...

They made bloody hard work of it, didn't they?

[Yeetyaah]

That was a decent game to watch. Can't remember the last time I watched a 6 Nations game. Scotland nearly bottled it at the end. Glad the Scots won.

[sparky]

Congratulations to Scotland. They thoroughly deserved that. It felt like they had got a massive monkey off their back at the end.

England were woeful. Clearly their worst performance since Eddie Jones took over. They made lots of mistakes and created very little. The Saracens boys all looked a long way below peak fitness.
