[2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 4: England vs Scotland (12/03/2017)

[The Jones Boy]

Well this is over as a contest.
Whats for dinner?

 

[mustardcharlie]

Never been any question about Ford's ability in attack.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Think they'll be a backlash from Scotland in the second half. But we've just gotten not give in to it

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

I now regret not responding to the post claiming Scotland had best backline with an "lol ok"

 

[Bluemoon]

His hands been up for a while, now he's booked it.

Without going too far off topic, I'd like to see him do this against a much stronger Irish defence to nail down he 13 shirt - the centre partnership is a massive question mark for me at the moment.

Back on topic, Scotland will want to improve next half and try to give away less penalties. I think England have had the rub of the green with the ref at the breakdown, but they are clearly the better team. They can't handle the intensity of the English attack and it's telling. England good value for the championship at the moment.

Englands attacking play is unmatched in this tournament. They've executed brilliantly all over the park.

Scotland pushed the self destruct button within a minute of starting the game. They've been pushing relentlessly ever since.

 

[Mike Rolls]

Interesting yellow card - to my mind much worse that the incident - it wasn't actually a tackle - that got Daly red in the autumn, and as bad as the Warburton tackle on Clerc which got a red at the RWC in 2011.

Bring on the Vunipolas.

Didn't realise Farrell had from-his-own-half distance. Just missed, but looked like it could have gone a metre or two further back if required.

Most people can kick it that far, accuracy at that distance is the issue... hence...

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Something about Laidlaw outfit seems off to me.

Not sure what it is.

I think he's gone for the Bloodborne look

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Kinda feels like Greig's just in the studio to feel bad

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Youngs should of kept that.

How didn't Russell get tackled then????

[TRF_Olyy]

What the hell, how is that not a 5m scrum?!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Youngs you numpty. Was just about to say Hughes' work rate's been pretty good and then made a break. Seems to be coming good. Shame it's as we get Billy back.

 

[ncurd]

Even Hughes is playing well....no idea what Youngs was doing at the end....

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Joseph must have had at least ten weetabix this morning

 

[ncurd]

Has JJ got a hat trick every six nations he's played?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

At least I got one of my predictions spot on this week...

 

[TommiG88]

Never a yellow!!!!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

in what ****ing way is that a yellow card. Seriously referees are ruining this game.
