England v Scotland
- Thread starter Charlton
- Start date
don't think it will be a route Alan, England just don't seem to have 'all' the answers, when they come up against a team who show's a bit of resistance. But, I did tip them to win this championship, and I still believe their not far from being capable of something big. Davey.
Go along with that
what a game you talk about comebacks, have to say Finn Russell was absolutely brilliant especially in the second half, reminded me of another fly half with flair and unpredictability, have to say England went to pieces in the second half and for the second game running Farrell was rattled, no good for a captain, and their tackling went to pieces against Scotland's speed, Johnson ran through five, yes FIVE England tackles to score. Scotland played with true passion in the second half, good job Scotland didn't have their first team out. Jones has got to get England,s mindset right, I think they came out in the second half expecting an easy ride, well that is what happens, the All Blacks would of gone for the jugular. Well done Scotland a memorable game that will be remembered for many a year.

Yes Alan, I gave up mid way through the first half, but went back to it in the second half to see the fireworks. We didn't really deserve to win, but that missed penalty near the end cost the victory. Nice to see a bit of attacking flair at last.
When our injured players come back we may have a good world cup. England's psyche is very fragile and may well let them down in really big games.
England score 31 unanswered points, only for Scotland to score an unanswered 38, then the injury time equalizer!
What a spectacle though, an amazing game!

Dominant first half played with pace power and precision. If only they had stuck with doing what they were doing and it would have been a real hiding for Scotland. Went in at half time thinking the game was won and mentally totally switched off... Absolutely no excuse. Scotland were missing some players but are still dangerous....
Scots got a kick up their proverbial at half time and came to compete... Trouble was England hadn't so Finn had a field day and against a team on the back foot they did excellently. A game England shouldn't have lost but one hell of a come back by Scotland who didn't let their heads drop. Some lessons for both teams.
Great game.
