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

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Scotland's fighting talk that they were looking to win before this game really is looking rediculous now. Just a reminder why they have not won at HQ since 1983.

Bit harsh, nothing wrong with saying you can win...usually they say that when they're not so sure themselves, just to reassure themselves.
Scotland haven't done anything to annoy me, only thing which has is the speed with which some people wanted to big Scotland up.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Never realised Pyrgos was English until I heard him talk then


Edit: Huw Jones is some man

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Visser has been excellent

 

[TommiG88]

Finishing like crap. Look bloody lazy!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Never realised Pyrgos was English until I heard him talk then

Rule of thin about a 3rd of the Scottish team is English.

 

[ncurd]

Unsure who to blame Ford or Nowell there.

 

[ratsapprentice]

What was that from Care?

Running out of the line and sideways?!!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Visser has been excellent

...In the last 15 minutes maybe, he didn't even get the ball in the first half

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Taking our foot off the throat. Will be disappointed if we cant stuff a couple more over the line

That'll do

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

...In the last 15 minutes maybe, he didn't even get the ball in the first half

Not his fault though.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Set move.

 

[ncurd]

Taking our foot off the throat. Will be disappointed if we cant stuff a couple more over the line

you were saying?

 

[Bluemoon]

Ugh. Nice line from Care but still way too easy over that line. Scotland's defence coach must have been on holiday this week?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Not his fault though.

Nah I mean what can you do...
Maybe Scotland should have gone reckless when England started to find too much space out wide.

 

[TommiG88]

Every time we attack, we score :lol:

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Two big hits way behind the gain line, 74mins into a game we're 30pts up

Great work ethic



Oooooof, hope Tony is OK!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

I do think the refereeing has been one sided. Not terrible but 50/50 calls our way. Scotland just got pinged for coming in at the side or something but equally every England forward went off their feet at that breakdown.

 

[TommiG88]

Why didn't Teo straighten and drive forward there!!!

 

[ncurd]

I do think the refereeing has been one sided. Not terrible but 50/50 cals our way. Scotland just got pinged for coming in at the side or something but equally ever England forward went off their feet at that breakdown.

I think the ref has been going with the attacking team most of the game which sadly in a one sided affair such as this make it very hard not to look biased.

 

[Which Tyler]

Unsure who to blame Ford or Nowell there.

Certainly not Ford, he's defending a 2 on 1, so has to stay on the inside man, when he pushes out he then has to race to avoid watching a try in the corner.
Blaming Nowell would be harsh, but you could argue that as Ford was wide, he should have hovered to cover the step infield, but that is being pretty harsh.
