English bench to romp home

England by 11-15

Do you even watch rugby bro ?

When barracking for Scottish rugby I find the trembling fingers over my eyes can indeed interfere with the viewing.
But the last time I landed in Scotland they won their game, beating Australia comfortably. Today I am not in Scotland. As their unknown good luck charm, I worry for them.

Love those flamey things the Scots have when they run out at home. 🔥

Scrums taking forever......

England 3 Scotland 0.

Not a looker this one so far. England have more about them.

[sparky]

Bad defence by Joe Marchant.

Ben White with a try on debut. Scotland 5 England 3.

[Victor Meldrew]

England's defence shredded. Itoje comes up fast and Hogg slips the ball to Graham who wrong-foots the rush defence.

[sparky]

England doing quite a lot of dumb shit. Eddie Jones will be tearing his hair out.

[sparky]

Brian Moore and Nigel Owens doing a great job as commentary box summarisers. Both men know their onions.

[sparky]

Marcus Smith with a penalty. Scotland 7 England 6 after 34 minutes.

[sparky]

Finn Russell with a penalty from 40 metres out on the stroke of Half Time.

Scotland 10 England 6 going into a break. England dominated territory and possession in that half but Scotland ahead on the scoreboard.

With Andrew Cotter there, it's hard to find a better trio in the commentary box.

EDIT: Chris Patterson is pretty good too.

@victor-meldrew BBC doing a superb job all round of covering this game. Gabby Logan, Martin Johnson, Sam Warburton and John Barclay all good value at half time.

[sparky]

Don't worry, Freddie Steward, they have Minties for moments like these.

[sparky]

Bit cynical from Scotland there, giving away a penalty right in front rather than the try.

[sparky]

Smith with the kick. 10-9.

[sparky]

Clever timing of the run by Smith after a line out maul. Marcus Smith in. Scotland 10 England 14

[sparky]

Kicked missed, but England with their tails up.

Gabby Logan auditioning for the next X Men film

Scotland poor in this Second Half, giving away a lot of soft penalties. England maintaining patience and discipline. Still a 4 point lead to the visitors.

[sparky]

Marcus Smith with another kick. Scotland 10 England 17. 17 to play. Momentum of this game very much with England.
