Scotland vs England, Six Nations 2020

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.

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

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

Another week, another Stuart Hogg horror?

No, scrum 5. No try.

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

[sparky]

Big opportunity for England to win the game.

[MiketheSnow]

Please make it a 10-10 draw

[Victor Meldrew]

England deserve to be ahead/win but have been pretty underwhelming and tactically naive.

Scotland could easily be ahead - but then again, it is Scotland.

[sparky]

Try by the excellent Ellis Genge. Converted.

Scotland 3 England 10

[Victor Meldrew]

Been impressed with the Ref. Has let the game flow and been consistent.

Wasn't he one of the better ones at RWC2019?

[sparky]

England forwards off the bench have done the job.

Shot at goal right in front with four minutes to go.

[sparky]

Farrell nails it.

Scotland 3 England 13. 3 minutes to go.

[sparky]

Scotland with a penalty straight away.

Hastings. Gets it. Scotland 6 England 13. Two minutes to go.

[sparky]

Ball out. All over. England win the Calcutta Cup again.

[sparky]

Dreadful Scottish lineout cost them dear.....

[sparky]

Sparky's man of the Match was England Hooker, Jamie George, 19 tackles, part of the superior scrum and very good lineout work in tough conditions.

[MajorRage]

Eddie Jones gave quite a prickly interview. He really does hate the media!

Think the opening stanza said it all - Scotland with all that ball, in great attacking positions, quickly available...and they had absolutely no idea what to do so turfed it up to one off runners, slowly... for ages. So frustrating but keep you watching thinking surely they're gonna do something now...

[antipodean]

What a terrible game. Scotland are dreadful. England going backward under Eddie.
