2014 Six Nations: Scotland vs England (Round 2)

[big ginger 8]

May, would you please score already?

 

[Patchey]

May you utter beast. Brilliant running.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

You must be real mad.

All I know is that every time I have seen Scotland play they look awful.

I'm with you, Scotland have never really been a great team. They have always struggled to finish off chances and they always try to get teams to play down at their level.

 

[poopiepeople]

oh, boy. Scotland the meek.

23 missed tackles. Unacceptable.

dont worry, he is

 

[Gavin]

What is with the Scottish number 3 always going head to head? England prop complained about it and so did the Irish one last week

 

[big ginger 8]

Despite being 20 up with 10 to go and Cole apparently needing rest he's still on the pitch?

 

[Jaguares]

Scotland need Tim Visser and Sean Maitland

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

FFS Youngs. Hartley gets 20/20 and Youngs can't even make 1!

Lancaster making pointless changes again.

No one trusts henry Thomas? Who isn't going to get any better sitting on the bench at bath next year!

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Something everyone knows apart from Lancaster:

Youngs comes on and screws up both line outs, we all knew that would happen

Goode comes on and passes the ball to Hogg! Goode is utter ****e!

Lancaster please learn!

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

0/3 FFS. How hard is it!?

 

[big ginger 8]

It's a real lack of trust given the situation.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Youngs should not be allowed in the England team until he can hit at least 1 lineout. 0/3...

 

[Aristodemus]

Goode, Youngs and Barritt need to be out the 23 for Ireland. We should have scored so many more points today, utter domination and only 20.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Farrell seems to have added a few strings to his bow I hope that he keeps improving game on game as we might genuinely have a world class fly half in the making in 4-5 years!

May played really well, nowell looks like an under 20's player playing adult rugby.

12trees Burrell works well

 

[glawsfan]

ery easy win never out of first gear really.
Was especially pleased to see May go well after tracking his career since he appeared in the Gloucester second team. This proves his strong performance.

"@TheRugbyBlog: Jonny May, with 65m made, 6 defenders beaten and 3 gainline breaks,has been England's key influencer today as he trudges off. #IBMTryTracker"

 

[Aristodemus]

Not sure what you mean by that, Nowell is really strong for his size.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Good win for England against an awful Scotland side.

Please can someone breakdown Tom Young's throwing and rebuild it again, like Dorian West did to Dylan Hartley's throwing. I think we were 100% when Hartley was on and then Tom Youngs came on I shuddered when it came to him throwing into the line out and right on cue he overthrows on two line outs. Surely this is something he can practise to death. Sure it's also timing the throw with the lifters and the jumpers, but that's 3 games in a row he's overthrown and missed the jumper.

I'm pretty sure he misses more than he hits. Only have to look at the damage it did to the Scots today to see why that's unacceptable. Until he can hit 80-90% of the tim,e he should not be allowed in the team. His work elsewhere is fine but the lineout is just too important to let it pass.
