6 Nations 2017

its not difficult, if they aren't committing players to the ruck then you just pick and go and make them constantly make one off tackles around the fringes, just keep going through the middle of where the ruck should be, the inability to a) know the rules and b) think on their feet is pretty embarrassing
Outside looking in, it always easy to call.
Its now been proven, England have come out with a plan to fight against it.
 
I hope so, if Scotland can show the form they did against Ireland then we'll have a chance. Englands amazing run has to end at some point so why not against Scotland ;)

Quite likely. I've been unimpressed with all of England's performances in the 6N this year.

Just watching it now on catch up. It seemed like a functional performance against a team intent on spoiling and damage limitation. They worked it out eventually. The Scots have been the story of the tournament so far but if I was them I'd be worried come scrum time & the Scottish pack to me seems busy but underpowered.

Wales maybe should have won yesterday?
 
I think England have been a little complacent so far and not really hit top gear. They keep getting the right results but it hasn't been without problems.

That said, I think that they have a superb front five and some really classy players who haven't really shown what they are capable of yet.

My view on the Scotland game is that it could be more of the same and if so, I can imagine a Scotland win for sure.

Another realistic possibility though, is that they will properly click and dish out a real hammering. I get the feeling they are due a really good game and will go into the next match focused and ready to do the business.
 
England havent been anywhere near as good as they can be, the Scots have been playing out of their skin. You have to think England will switch on very soon and do some real score damage.

Doubt it will be in the next game. Much as Doons anti English diatribe deserves it. The scots have a decent team spirit, teams with that rarely get a gubbing.
Twickers is the graveyard of Scottish dreams. I'd expect that to continue but it could be close
 
Hoping for a strong England performance against the Scots. Then again, so far England have played 3 teams who have played almost as well as they can with all 3 opposition performances being head and shoulders above how they have played in any other match and England have still come out on top. In an ideal world we beat the Scots, Wales restore some pride by beating the Irish and the championship is over before we go to Dublin
 
I think England are being very underestimated here. In most games they have been down on the score at half time but their strength and brutality shows well as the game progresses. I still think they have a very good chance of the Slam.
