[2021 Six Nations] England vs Scotland (06/02/21)

[Leinster Fan]

Honesty I don't get the whole Scotland look bad.

Scotland won a game and didn't look 2nd best in any department.

Smacks a bit of sour grapes

As a neutral I didn't think they were particularly great. Miles better than England though.

 

[Ospervat]

Well done Scotland - game management that England couldn't match.
England just looked directionless. I've seen headless chickens with more of an idea.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I have no faith in Scotland kicking on from this, just get over confident and softer than ever.

 

[TommiG88]

I want to hear Jones' excuses

 

[Leinster Fan]

Real winners here are the Irish fans

Edit:Since you know all the Scottish posters got bullied off here by Oly

What about Alpha and his racism?

[AlRums]

Scotland deserved that

Which ever way you look at it, Scotland were better and played the ref better

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Ref inconsistent, but focusing on that is dumb I think. We were unbelievably terrible

(Although at least our politicians won't tweet celebrating winning 1 game.... )

Wouldn't say they looked bad, but they didn't play great. Yes they were better than us in every department and deserved to win, but we were so ****.

Whatever Jones' plan is, it clearly isn't working. His selections have been wrong for a while and last year papered over cracks that have been there for a while. Same as world cup final. Those cracks were always there, but we've generally found ways to overcome them. However it was only a matter of time before it unravelled.

Wouldn't worry about that, not like they could read it.

Billy looked like a local club rugby player!

Crazy Alpha is accused of anti Scottish sentiment when his family on both sides are all Ulster Scots planters!

TBF that is where his current club is

Can see them beating Wales next week and sending the hype machine into overdrive.

Should all come crashing down against France afterwards though.

Not me he didn't

 

[BiggusLaddus]

Scots missed plenty of chances to score more points, but were in complete control for almost the whole game.

England were dire, I cannot remember ever seeing such an inept performance.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Congratulations Scotland, totally deserved. The only consolation was that it wasn't Wales.

You can hear the laughter over the Channel and south of the Equator.

But this wasn't a one off. Anyone who watched us in the Autumn won't be surprised at the performance level, the only difference was this time we were up against semi competent opposition. We were without a few front line forwards, but they were all around in the Autumn.

Is Farrell shot? Has Jones lost the dressing room? It feels that there's more to this than a loss of form.

 

[Jimbo]

Scotland more up for it, Sarries contingent undercooked (Itoje aside), **** reffing all added to it.

 

[AlRums]

As predicted MOTM for Hoggy

Must have loved playing against Farrell, too many telegraphed kicks and no contest, Hoggs kicking was great on the whole though
