That pass to Pollock was at least 5m forward

England 2026 6N
Pathetic. Scotland just giving up. Over as a spectacle at halftime. Give me Argentina v Australia any day.
@pooler-fan Would have reviewed it if the outcome was up for grabs

Hate that. Should have been called
The St Valentine's Day Massacre.
Unlucky 13 for England.
Steve Borthwick's men humbled.
A hard-earned win by Scotland.
And they are the new owners of the Calcutta Cup and the Raeburn Shield.
England a complete enigma. They can beat Ireland and France away, but strangely go to pieces at Murrayfield..

Would have preferred Otago boys vs kings u15Bs. Would be more of a watch
Scotland were fantastic, fair play I didn't see that coming. Did England believe their own hype?
Good win that.
Very pleasing to ruin England’s grand slam ambitions cos fuck England.
Might very well lose every game from here on in and the Wooden Spoon still a definite chance but their ability to go against form and lift for the Auld Enemy is something else.
That was a fun watch! Good on the Scots boys, love to see a game where the team just says stuff it , we aren't going to lose this!
20 lost turnovers by England.
4 of those by Freddie Steward. Three by Tommy Freeman and Two by Henry Arundell.
The aerial battle is so important in Test rugby these days.

2020 and 2007 were classics, but the rest were shite, so they're better than RC and SR.

Didn't see it coming. And yet to watch. But wonderful news to wake up to!

Show off.
Rain every day this year is going to catch up with you sometime

I picked the Scots to win- Murrayfield v The enemy is a very different dynamic than playing Italy in a rain soaked Rome.
> Finn Russell is class
He sure is…..
I’m so sick of @mikethesnow going on about him though, it gets so tiresome.
He was brilliant today
Only watched the highlights but England were never winning that
Hopefully that’s Russell’s one good game of the tournament done

Na, he’ll go up another level against Wales

Scots just have to turn up.

Ok now you are going on about him!
But thanks for implying Wales are a level above England!

Quite rightly too. He’s as close to a god as I’ve ever seen on a Rugby pitch.
Is Huw Jones the best centre running around WR atm?
Nice to watch Russell when he's enjoying himself and things work.
I thought Arundell's first YC was a bit harsh but the second was deserved.
The attempted drop goal charge down resulting in a try was magnificent. Chef's kiss

Yep. Exellent all round player.
Eight tries against England. That’s a prood Scotsman if ever I saw one.
@pakman said in Scotland v England 2026 6N:
@MN5 I thought he was a Yappie?!
Huw Jones was born in Edinburgh. You're probably thinking of DVDM or Steyn, the former can't even make the team at the moment.
....and yeah, say what you want about weaknesses in the rest of the Scottish team ( usually evident when playing anyone that isn't England ) Jones is one of if not the best 13 in the world at the moment. Maybe only Jesse Kriel is in his class.

Was going to post exactly that.
Also, just a mention of the forward pass to Pollock. Looked way way worse than the one by the Eyeties which was demonstrably back relative to the player.
More difficult to tell as the passer ran into defenders, but it looked bad.
Another bottle job by England and another 6N without a Grand Slam
Poor dabs
The supporters are spewing
Good enough for the arrogant twats

Long live Borthwick....
If ever Marcus Smith should have been involved in a match, this was it

a prop on the wrong side of a ruck back in the good old days?

It was a long day alright
Very impressed by Tuipolotu captaincy yesterday.
Showed real leadership across the game and pushed the ref politely but firmly.
Impressive stuff.
Happy days for @mn5 enjoy it mate, it was well deserved. Great game by Scotland and never really in doubt after England coughed up ball too easily in the first 5minutes or so. It just felt like we were going to be shit and a lot of the time we were. Scots love living off scraps so why not kick the fucking ball to them all day long and not contest? Poor game plan, lack of flexibility and poor bench selection and use. Add to that some quite astounding individual skill errors and we were toast.
Well done Scotland. Calcutta Cup and Raeburn Shield.

This is a really disappointing post from an Englishman. Magnanimous, fair and honest.
Can you try to be more of fluffybunny next time ?
