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

[TheOvalBall]

Lots of rain, slippery field. Keeping the ball in hand, and a good kicking game will win the game.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Damn, being greeted by your mum who is president of your national rugby union. That is something.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Worst anthem ever. South African anthem is a close second. That is a dogs breakfast.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Flower of Scotland P4P worst in the world

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Flower of Scotland P4P worst in the world

It's not even their real anthem

 

[TheOvalBall]

Here we go!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

This may be the hardest I've ever seen a team come out of the blocks.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Hopefully a sign that we've gotten the good Itoje today.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That wind is insane

 

[Bluemoon]

What a kick from OF there.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Hopefully a sign that we've gotten the good Itoje today.

Actually think he got away with one, he played it in the ground

That wind is insane

Definitely a big factor.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

....Ford why

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Way too much kicking now.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

....Ford why

To be fair definitely not Ford's decision. Him and Faz are clearly under strict orders.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Way too much kicking now.

Kicking is good ploy, it just has to be good.

[TheOvalBall]

Wow, how was that short ?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Ice man...

 

[Reiser99]

Hope we don't just rely on kicking, but far better start. Even if we did miss the kick.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Kicking is good ploy, it just has to be good.

It also has to later in the play, manipulate the defence to create space. Kicking into the wind to an organised defence won't work
