Scotland breaking tackles at will

Ah we’re fucked

WTF did they do that for,?
They were putting on pressure winning penalties, a try was coming and then Ford has a brainfuck!

England coughed up the ball three times on the try line and then Earl got held up over the line.
Finishing and ball retention just not good enough.

Scotland played with aggression and skill and took their chances,
England’s dominance in the scrum and the penalties it bought ought to have given them the edge, but the Scottish backs were excellent,

Gregor keeps his job!

Also, the Scottish tries in the first half came from some really poor one on one defending. And then Ford has a real brainfart.

England lack leaders on the pitch. When things are not going your way, these are the players that set the tone.

My favourite part from both games today was seeing the Italian front row monster Ireland, so much so that Furlong was driven up into the air and onto his arse. Not many teams have ever done that when he’s playing.

That was a moment for sure :joy:

Dear Steve Borthwick.

When we need lots of tries, why not get the team to kick away possession.

when the only progress we make is with ball in hand, through the phases. why not get the team to kick away possession.

Regards

All other teams.

Nice try from France.
Touched down by Emilien Gailleton, The best French player Croydon has ever produced

And another one by Bielle-Biarrey

Oh dear, another one, this could be a very long afternoon and an empty stadium by half time.
If I was Welsh I would rather be down the pub than watch this,

Some redemption for Wales, they didn’t give up and got a consolation score.
But France were very classy and never under threat.

The only positive?

We aren’t playing South Africa.

Ireland 15 England still getting off the bus in the car park.

Ffs, I ran myself ragged at work today so I could get home in time to watch this. :person_facepalming:t2:

At least you didn’t buy a ticket.
