@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.

The margin could easily have been 30 points.

It will be interesting to seen if Eddie Jones can turn things around in the coming weeks. France already massive favourites for the title?

Italy next, so chance to get back up to speed.

Owen Farrell's post-match interview was one of the weirdest I've seen. Looked utterly stunned - almost spaced out.

Actually felt some sympathy for him.

Losing to Scotland at Twickenham. That’s a tough break to bounce back from.

[MiketheSnow]

Hee hee hee

Thoroughly deserved for Scotland

How a Scottish forward didn't get MOTM beggars belief

Eddie needs to start watching, and more importantly listening, to Squidge.

It was like watching NZ lose.

A close enough margin that it feels like it's just a matter of time before things click and England win ugly.

And then they don't, and there's a quiet, numbness.

Then a smirk.

Then jubilation.
