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

Scotland
Scotland are really poor on attack. Just blunt like vs Ireland. Missing their south sea islander 12.

Finn Russell's been poor.

Van der Merve scores.
Good man, finally remembered he’s playing England
@sparky said in 6N 2025 England V Scotland:
All over.
England win 16-15.
Stink.
Had to happen sooner or later I suppose.
England win the Calcutta Cup and retain the Raeburn Shield.
They were outplayed today but credit to them for scoring more points than their opposition.
Well bloody good test, even if I was cheering for losers. Probably can't argue with result, Poms just did what they needed to , and held on.

I really hope England see that as progress.
Sadly that is quite possible

It's quite frustrating. I want to be happy for the other half and see them lose so they can get a coach in that takes advantage of this generational talent that's being let down by misdirection. But fuck it's good for the blackness when they carry on down this road.
That's one the Scots let get away. Goal kicking making the difference.
For the Lions Marcus Smith needs to start at 10 or not at all. At 15 he's more of a defensive liability.
Desperately shit game of rugby.
England are more boring now than they were under Woodward. Just a terrible game plan that should have cost them the game.
England can tackle, and they have excellent loose forwards. Picking 6 of them in the 23 and having Itoje makes them a constant menace when you have the.ball. but their backs stink, and their attack is rubbish, and their plan sucks.
For the losers, they have great outside backs, but not much else. Their forwards are nothing more than military medium, and Russell is so over rated.

Three tries to none and the poor Scots still lose.
That is such a Scottish Rugby thing to do to be fair.
But England did get one.
Poor Scotland, fuck off
They flatter to deceive and Russell is the cure & the cancer
VDM is the Gareth Bale of rugby
Great player, going to win fuck all

They've had a terrific run vs England. A real bugger they couldn't win that when they should have.
In most of my time watching them they've had decent forwards but pedestrian backs, seems to be the opposite now.
I hope VDM can take fern favourite James Lowes spot on the left wing for the Lions tour. Huw Jones is class too. I think you're pretty spot on about Finn Russell as well.
Despite all this they'll still hammer Wales though

Anything less will be another false dawn

I think false dawns have been the norm for 35 years ( When they last managed a Grand Slam )

The italics are because I didn't see the ball touch the ground.
