2 matches in row (France and England) which was pointing out that your claim that 'we'll be rubbish next time' doesn't nescessarily stand. We must have turned up for the 2010 draw too.
We all know England are the better rugby nation but the odd loss won't do you any harm, refocus the troops etc. You're post came over as bitter despite the emojis! Your compatriots on here have all been very gracious in defeat.

Disappointed - yeah!
Bitter? Life's too short.
You were rubbish against Wales but you played 300% better today and much better than England.
What more do you want?
It wouldn't surprise me if Scotland play poorly next match, it's not a guarantee but they have form for this...

They did and under a lot of 2 and half pressure.
If our try had stood it could have been a different story,a knock on in a tackle such a stupid rule.
Great tackle resulting in a well taken try chalked off.
Fair play to Scotland such a good first half performance and a little bit of luck thrown in too.:clap:
Watched it in a pub, no idea of commentary or controversies. Scotland thoroughly out rucked England first half and that is where the game was won. Second half England had two early disallowed tries, correctly, but those fine margins changed the game.
Scotland deserved it, they played superbly.

What about the bigger picture?
Would it not help England's Six Nations title aspirations if Scotland played well next match (away to Ireland) and even won, however unlikley? Scotland's points difference is so poor after the Wales gubbing and with no bonus points that Ireland are your primary title opponents with the 2 bonus points so far. If Ireland beat Scotland they could come to Twickers and lose on the day yet still win the Six Nations. If Scotland beat Ireland that couldn't happen (as long as England can beat France too).
Or is seeing Scotland lose more satisfying to you than winning the 6 nations title?

Can't believe we we're beaten by some two-bob inferior team and nation. Says something as to how wrong things are when we get a drubbing by 22 blokes for whom the national dress is, well, a glorified dress!! The sooner these countries know their place and revert back to recognising they're inferior to England and roll-over during sporting contests the better!!!
Is that better for those on the Forum who are from North of the border? 😉😂😂
Just trying to inject a bit more Anti-English sentimentality on here! Can't believe some of my fellow countrymen have taken defeat so well and recognised the best team on the day won....and deservedly so!! 😉😂😂

My Llanelli cousin is telling me the Irish and Welsh supporters were letting rip with Flower of Scotland and I Wanna Be [500 miles] in the Dublin pubs.
I have nearly forgiven her now after last weeks merciless taunts.

Oh Hell Yeah........
It must be tiring being so bitter, so often.
Does it hurt more if we tell Scots and Welsh fans that playing them is just another game? Nothing special, just a different fixture.

Means a lot to us Scots as it is the oldest international fixture in the rugby world.
A bit like The Open in Golf.
I can understand England looking at it as just another game they should win easily.
Matt Dawson was on the radio on Friday. He was saying how both Wales and Scotland need to get past the emotion of playing and beating England as that is holding them back. He pointed out how Ireland believe they are good enough for the top table and can compete with the elite nations. They play England as equals each year and so beat them more often. Interesting comments.
After yesterday's performance Scotland have no excuses. That is the standard they have to meet every match now.

Scotland second try was started with a forward pass. (don't believe me, go and look at the footage yourself)

I think we Scots proved we could play on the World stage at the last World Cup.
A dodgy last minute referee blunder just stopping us from making the final.
Perhaps Matt Dawson should have remembered that before making his patronising comments.
You are missing his point Doon. All the home nations can compete but some, Scotland, don't compete as much as they should due to inconsistencies. That is partly due to quality or depth but he was suggesting something else. He was actually complementary about Scotland but highlighting that they need to get back to the mental attitude of the Hastings era. They competed regularly and knew they should be. He wasn't being patronising.
