England v Scotland, 02/02/13

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Excellent rugby so far! Delighted to see England with a 12 who can distribute!

 

[Tony Manx]

Best try of the day so far!!

This game isn't the borefest it usually is. This is going to be a great 6 nations, rugby wise.

 

[Big Ewis]

^ seems like it.
And Scotland, though Ashton just scored, at least he didn't transform into a giant chicken and...ahem....."take flight".

You could say he's been Tree-mendous

Came in at about the 23rd minute. Good game. Great England try.

Tough call on Wood there but just about the correct one. He started in from the side, corrected it but it still got him into the position to compete

An exciting, fast paced Calcutta cup game? What has happened to the world? Good game so far!

Agree...think Scotland are playing up to their potential and are reacting very well to mistakes but hardly getting any real ball......England look contorlled and love 12trees instead of Manu.

Launchbury, Morgan, Robshaw and Tom are playing really well in the pack...Youngs is still slow at 9 and kicking to nowhere. I would get Care on! Not sure that Goode is contributing in a positive manner and Brown has been given no chance to shine.........

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

John Inverdale has the most annoying face in the world. Also, his eyes are wonky

 

[Peat]

Good enough for now, just need to tighten up and see this out.

 

[Big Ewis]

lol Ben Youngs trying to be Michalak with the reverse passing.
yayyyyy another beautiful try for England...

Would have like to have seen Wade and Biggs given serious game time this tourney but don't think that's gonna happen.

Why Biggs? He's like a slow version of Paul Diggin.

Just surfing through the thread now, and saw this. I've only watched a couple Bath matches, and I like Biggs - he's a feisty li'l fella, and fearless in the tackle. Speed-wise, I dunno because I haven't seen him play enough, but he did get my attention in the short time I've seen him play.

Or, mebbe, I just dig the hair.

So 12 Twelvetrees 13 Tuilagi when Tuilagi returns?

 

[Big Ewis]

that sucks for the match's sake, Morgan looked SUPER powerful at no.8...out hurt.

 

[Tony Manx]

Sorry double post!

Definitely, thats the plan. Barritt has been pretty good tbf. Morgan is super powerful...

 

[dasNdanger]

Twelvetrees is doing great! That, plus he has just about the best wild west name, ever. "Better close down the saloon, Sheriff, Billy Twelvetrees just rode into town."

Aaaand...I am off topic, again.

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Can we see a reply of the high tackle/clear-out from Youngs?

Great try Parling. Who was the first man to the clear-out after Youngs' break? Big Joe Launchbury...

31-26-31...Bust, Waste, Hip-Hip-Hurrah!
