Half-time thoughts
If England concede another 8 penalties in the next half, victory will be a lot more difficult than necessary. Bad discipline is what's keeping Scotland close. That said, if they'd been more clinical with their breaks, we could be well behind.
England's best player is Greig Laidlaw, whose doing more to rob the Scottish attacks of sting than any counter-rucking could.
Stuart Hogg is a lovely runner but twice he's got Scotland into real trouble, including that try. Speaking of which, Richie Gray's tackle, that was embarrassing.
Pleased to see some ambition from England but don't feel we're really doing it ball in hand, they're more dangerous than we are.
Steve Thompson just said he couldn't really see the difference between regimes and can't say I'd argue with that.
Decent enough match to watch but there's hints of a cripple fight about this. Here's hoping both sides get sharper through the championship.
