England v Scotland 6N

[Winger]

Scotland turnover with England hard on attack.

Scotland deserved winner by 29-23

Very good second half (missed the first)

[Tim]

Fucken beauty.

[Billy Tell]

That was a great game. The kiwi match officials went fine. Scotland usually lose those tight games but a victory in twickenham with the 4-try BP is an excellent start.

[Victor Meldrew]

That was a cracking game to watch as a neutral.

England's defence was poo and probably cost them the game. Scotland probbly mentally a bit stronger.

[sparky]

Scotland deserved that.

Not sure England did the right thing in sacking Eddie Jones.

[Luigi]

England’s kicking game as good as it’s ever been.

[Bones]

Marcus Smith is Richie Mounga with straight hair.

Discuss.

[Tim]

Great game. No idea why Marcus Smith is playing test rugby. Seems well below that level.

Not based on this game. But early days still. England's defense needs some work.

[Jailbreak7]

@Tim Yes but long may he stay there......ahem

Esp with Farrell as an option for England.

Like Moanga, needs a block busting 2nd five outside him. They are hard to find these days.

Yeah. Only 2 games, but so far the Reffing has been good so far with minimal stoppages and a bit of common sense on what could have been contentious decisions. Hope it continues

[Winger]

I lived in England for over 20 years but as this game progressed wanted Scotland to win. Just more adventureous and took their chance's esp with England's defense not a strength

One comment on the BBC website. Saw this made before the game too. Will a change be made here

John Barclay. Former Scotland captain on BBC Radio 5 Live

The Marcus Smith and Owen Farrell axis doesn't work. England were great going forward but how many times did we see Marcus carry the ball to the line? He did that as no one was there to pass to.

If you have someone outside, someone who can bring the power game, and you can change distribution. You saw Smith and Farrell carrying and while they are smart rugby players, they aren't the strongest ball carriers

[Winger]

Final comment. Three wins in a row for Scotland over England

Bad start for Borthwick. Losing at home. But Italy next week then Wales then France and Ireland. So 2 easier team to get things back on track

Scotland have Wales then France then Ireland

[MN5]

Woooohooo.

Doddie would be so prood of the boys

Pretty horrible to see VdM run straight through Smith for the try.

Get fucked. That was poetry. Like a white Jonah.

I don’t get up to watch sport at 3am anymore. I value my sleep far too much.

Smith should be ashamed of that. Zero urgency just jogging across. Farrell also made a bunny but you could argue he was over running to make up for Smith.
