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

Ok now you are going on about him!

But thanks for implying Wales are a level above England!

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.

@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....

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 ? 😉

@MN5 I'm actually quite rude to real Scotsmen.
