[2020 Six Nations] Scotland vs England (08/02/20)

[General Melchett]

Rain and high winds predicted so I guess EJ is expecting a forwards slog

This is exactly why he's gone 6:2 IMO. He's preparing for a wrestle in the mud. Let's see how the kicking holds up in these high winds.

That should suit us with our strong ball retention and how infrequently we knock on.

And our big powerful ball carrying back row will revel in keeping it tight and making the hard yards in traffic.

We've got plenty of kickers in the 23, it's just a shame it's only May that's heard of those elusive and rarely seen things:
"kick chase" and "compete in the air"

Find it funny Fearns always seems to chime in when England lose.
Wonder how that 7's loophole he was going to use to play for France went

English Zebo?

Only time I've heard of him was when Johnny Sexton smashed him in a perfect tackle and then at the end of the sequence the ref called both captains over and Johnny said "is this because I got him too hard?". Not exactly what England are looking for Of imagine!

Sale academy and played for the Saxons - surprised you never tapped him up to replace Heaslip or SOB

Mike Teague and Dean Richards, yes. I'll get back to you on Tom Curry.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

The best thing fearns did was knocking out Gavin Henson.

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Both teams were below par last week. England to win by one point?

 

[Scotty]

How bad conditions are we expecting for this game?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

How bad conditions are we expecting for this game?

like 50mph winds and rain.

Got this from Tim from The Eggchasers pod twitter -

Steve Diamond, on Mark Wilson's return to action & debut for Sale:

"He plays well tonight and he'll probably be starting fly half for England"

 

[Scotty]

like 50mph winds and rain.

Hope we get to see Daly or Hogg trying some monster penalty kicks with the wind behind them.

Some friends going to the game think it might be called of

I hope not, I've planned my day around it!

I hope Dodson has learned to keep his gob shut this time around.

High stands at Murrayfield so some shelter from wind.
Wind is from South and pitch runs roughly North to South so could be a game of 2 halfs.

Deja vu!
