Heart break for Wales
Just listened to Baff return to form
England were looking great up until that try

England just getting a bit too excited at times instead of keeping things simple.

Agree, they really don't need to get giddy when they are camped in Scotland's 22.

Scotland good and disciplined in defence, which is contributing to us trying too much. Few wasteful kicks from us too.
We need to hope this possession wears them down late for the finishers to swing it

Unless the law has changed the Scotland try came from an illegal quick line out as the ball had been touched off the pitch by the player who didn't throw it in.
Oh well Cest la vie

England unlucky to be behind at the half for my money.

I don’t think Scotland have even been defending all that well. Awful clearance kicking. Suppose they have got bodies in the way but it’s really English failures more than Scottish grit I’d say.

Awfully slow from Youngs in the first half. Daly has been anonymous and Marchant doesn't look fit after covid. Still think the pack is missing a proper heavy carrier. I'd move Simmonds to 6 and bring on Dombrandt in the second half.

Oddly I think the second half will be both teams being told 'more of the same' .
Scotland will look to home advantage and England's inexperience due to injury and find a few moments of genius
England just keep the pressure on keep Scotland pinned and if Smith can hit a couple of drop goals that will ease it for them
