Couldn’t agree more, save the last sentence.

That can fuck right off.

Nah, I think England are making steady progress under Borthwick. England by at least 10

That's a bizarre call. What backs up the progress other than he has a group of really good players not being utilised properly? I'm all for an England win though, they'd be fucking dangerous if they had a decent coach.

England already mixing up between Marcus Smith and Fin Smith at first receiver.

Ben White in for Scotland after four minutes.

Beautiful work by Van Der Merwe. Lazy English defence.

Tommy Freeman in for England.

5-5.

Grounding looked a bit dodgy on the replay.

England 7 Scotland 5.

Yeah not convinced the he got just the tip there...

That was super dumb by Jones, why do that when you've just trapped them 10m out?

Huw Jones scores his 6th try against England.

Terrible English defence. So passive.

No conversion.

England 7 Scotland 10.

Van Der Merwe is s genuine world class talent. Setup both those tries

Scottish pressing hard for a third, but it's lost forward.

Fluffed it badly, was completely on down the right, just needed to feed the outside.

Scotland looking far more lively so far. England looking lethargic and a bit clueless

See this is what I hate about the halfback shit. Mitchell tries to roll it back with his foot, can't reach so rolls it back with his hand until it's out of the ruck, then rolls it into the perfect position with his foot, then puts his hands on it ready to pass, for a few seconds.

Get rid of this.

Scotland dominating this but only three points ahead on the scoreboard.

England box kicking everything through Mitchell which is an odd tactic in perfect conditions against an excellent back 3.

Fair way to go, but did you spell regress wrong?

England cough one up.

And it's half time.

England 7 Scotland 10

Ok that's worse than Scotland's fluff.

How good was Smith at imitating Mounga for fluffing that try.

Hmmm. A bit early to bring on your only outside back.

You’d have to explain that one future-boy, I’m not that down with the kids

That's what she said.

10-10. Not pretty.

18 minutes to go.

That penalty for the Scottish “head high” pretty much sums up how modern rugby has gone wrong. Rugby is a contact sport.

England hit the lead. 13-10.

13 minutes to play.

And Itoje screaming at the ref demanding he give that.

England have a penalty on half way and they are going for goal.

It's got the legs. England 16 Scotland 10.

Ten minutes to play.

Another England score kills this off.

Scotland turn down a chance at goal to hit one to the corner. Then they fuck up the lineout.

Finn Russell not directing things enough for me.
