Well played Scotland, deserved victory against a truly awful England

Surely this has to be the end of the road for Eddie Jones now. Surely.....

 

[Captainron]

YES!!! England lose.

Not sure about Jones out, just drop Slade as a centre and Farrel as captain at least, if not altogether.

Great performance from Scotland

Pity there isn't a crowd to see Scotland lift the Calcutta Cup, or Princess Anne presenting it.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Great win, I think we also won 150 years ago when we hosted the first ever International match.
Rugby has come home.

 

[OntheteeGavin]

Has Young got incrimating photos of Eddie? Too slow. Always has been.

Farrell attack wise....

No plan b.

Worst England team I've seen in a long time. Kept expecting them to come alive but it never happened. Scotland should have won more comfortably, last 5 minutes were a bit nerve wracking even though England never got near our line, kept expecting us to do something stupid and end up with another glorious failure.

 

[OntheteeGavin]

All credit to Scotland.

Depressing. Ben Youngs at his dithering worst and then Dan Robson had a mare. Slade - never worth a spot for me...lightweight. Poor discipline cost us but overall we were just poor...so much for the 6 Nations alleviating some lockdown malaise.

Bit rusty, but short of ideas. Scotland seemed the opposite and deserved the win. Difficult watch without atmosphere, bit like the football...

If thats a bit rusty I hate to think how bad an utter shocker is

 

[spongebob59]

England were awful and the scoreline flattered.them.
Time to.drop some of the prime donnas.
I've said for a while now Farrell should be dropped.
The Saracens contingent were rusty having played no meaningful rugby, saying that I still think Itoje would walk into anyside.

 

[AmandaJR]

Careful...you have to play Italy remember

Make Itoje captain. He plays the same way Johnson did, by example and always 100%.

Get possession, kick, lose possession ?

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Best in hand kicking that I have ever seen in any rugby match from Hoggy.
He was quite superb.

We need a decent scrum half though, only weakness in the team IMVHO.
Third choice hooker did well.
