6 Nations

[Val]

I could point to numerous points homer but other than 2 issues on Barclay, an early penalty against which even Gordon D'arcy thought soft plus his yellow which came from another soft penalty there was nothing truly game changing.

Thankfully Scotland are making a fist of these games and immensely pleasing the respect we're getting from teams eg Ireland doing their utmost at keeping the ball away from Hogg, Wales stopped their high ball game after 2 good takes from Hogg and Seymour.

Time for Scotland to push on, the foundations are there, the belief is growing and hopefully with some testing autumn Internationals we can use our 3 home games next year and build on it.

Enjoyable 6 nations this year

Well said, pretty positive all in all for us, haven't looked out of out depth against anyone.

Do still have a tendency to shoot ourselves in the foot (Hogg and Seymour doing their Willie Miller and Alan Hansen impression/Dunbar, wtf was he doing!?) but plenty of positives to take.

Enjoyed watching it this year, already thinking of one home one away next year

Hopefully a good game tonight to round it off.

Good summary :thup:

Certainly not had the rub of the green in regards ref decisions - where as Wales have certainly had a fair share in their favour

Good post. How do you think you'll get on in the Autumn? Will you be strong enough, even at home?

Exactly what came to my mind ,,, but overall pleased. Big improvement and we look to threaten - and even when going a fair bit behind don't capitulate and are capable of getting back into the game., Didn't happen today.

One great try and one dubious one

 

[Imurg]

At the start of have taken a boring ground out 9-6 win...
Tonight is all about winning, nothing else!

Half a job done and looking good so far. Very pleased with the way England are going about this

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Very scrappy - giving away to many penalties and allowing the French too much time wide out. Nowell is being left exposed. Need to tighten up a lot in the second half.

 

[fundy]

hard to believe how bad england have been at the breakdown, yet again, any danger of either of our so called flankers either clearing the oppo out or protecting the ball when we take it in? nope didnt think so

Hasn't that been a recurring theme in this six nations though and we haven't been good in this area at all. Something has to improve or the southern hemisphere teams will be all over us

Love seeing Scotland improving. The 6 Nations is at its best when all teams a challenging. My best 6 Nations nights have been after tight games in Scotland. Edinburgh after a match is one of the best nights out. Have to get back up there again

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Too many penalties again. We are in danger of getting kicked out of this

 

[Deleted member 15344]

That's another clear penalty Owens should have given

Sorry but think all his talking and joking with the players masks his poor decisions at times
