[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 938436, member: 72977"] My issue is that while Scotland took their chances well and played some good rugby at 31-7 up it was our own mistakes, same as against Wales. First Scottish try was a charge down that started from a poor kick attempt by Farrell that was clearly not on, but he just went through the predictable routine and then Yes May missed the tackle, but Farrell slowed up assuming May had him. Second try was just poor defending and well worked by Scotland, though I'm still 50-50 on Price's last pass, but it's a moot point. Third one was well started by Price, but WTF was that from Daly? He has a chance to tackle and apparently thought he was Farrell and just bumped into Price, which allowed Price to get the pass away. Fourth was well worked by Scotland. Fifth try was an intercept and again it was Farrell not looking up and seeing Russell has already read it and that it was a predictable pass. Last try was started with a fantastic pass by Russell, but someone should have taken down Johnson earlier. Yes they may well have scored anyway, but it was atrocious tackling with Daly all over the place. Basically while Scotland took their opportunities and fair play to them, for me at 3 or 4 of those tries were preventable by a team that was focused and hadn't let their concentration slip after a fast and excellent start. However England just got complacent and for me Farrell was the perfect example, playing by numbers and set plays rather than heads up rugby like Russell does. [/QUOTE]
