What the fuck bro ? I thought we were friends

Interesting selection in the back 3, really surprised they’ve dropped Steward, and somewhat baffled that we show flexibility / ambition at fullback but still pick Daley on the wing. Expecting bombs all day from Scotland 9 and 10

Delighted to see Lawrence there, hopeful that Martin is on the bench this week before starting instead of Chessum next week

Van Meerve's scored a hat-trick. Murrayfield in dreamland. Scotland 24 England 13.

Can England's bench haul them back into this?

Was wondering who the kiwi with a hint of an English accent is in bbc commentary. It’s Dylan Hartley.

[sparky]

@Billy-Tell Definitely counts as Kiwi Pom.

Scotland 30 England 21 with ten minutes to play.

Indeed. He’s quite a good comments man actually

[sparky]

It finished that way.

@MajorRage I think the BBC coverage of the 6 Nations this year has been excellent. It's a shame they only get the Scotland and Wales home games.

England are a bit of an enigma at the minute. They've got some really good players and do some things well, but they switch off at crucial moments in matches and they seem less than the sum of their parts. I'm not sure about Jamie George as Captain and Freddie Steward must be somewhere in that back three.

Four wins in a row in the Calcutta Cup for Gregor Townsend. He'll be targeting a first win for Scotland over the All Blacks next.

England have only won 1 out of the last 7 against Scotland (Sco 5, Eng 1, 1 draw)

Scots won the Grand slam in 1990 then didn’t get another win over England til 2000, next one after that was 2006. England then dominated from 2009 til 2017.

That first try by England was sublime rugby and the final result was great.

[Catogrande]

Coulda, shoulda even maybe for England but Scotland showing the greater composure and way more clinical when it really mattered. I think England are beginning to find a team but are still somewhat shackled.
