Ben Youngs is England’s TJP. The tragedy for England is that they don’t have their own Aaron Smith

Met him once. Top bloke.

So far (in case the Curse of the Meldrew's strikes) Scotland's game management has been on another planet.
Impressive stuff.

The International Barbarian Team based at Twickenham known as England have been very, very poor in this match. Scotland should be out of sight. Poor Scottish attack and the referee are keeping Eddie's mob in this.

Dunno. Think the Ref has been fine - Scotland have nullified England at the breakdown and their defence has been outstanding, as has their kicking out of hand.
Too many missed opportunities & kicks from Scotland have made this closer than it should be.

They made bloody hard work of it, didn't they?

Congratulations to Scotland. They thoroughly deserved that. It felt like they had got a massive monkey off their back at the end.
England were woeful. Clearly their worst performance since Eddie Jones took over. They made lots of mistakes and created very little. The Saracens boys all looked a long way below peak fitness.

England were woeful. One of the worst performances I can remember from a Tier One side.
The margin could easily have been 30 points.

It will be interesting to seen if Eddie Jones can turn things around in the coming weeks. France already massive favourites for the title?

Owen Farrell's post-match interview was one of the weirdest I've seen. Looked utterly stunned - almost spaced out.
Actually felt some sympathy for him.

Hee hee hee
Thoroughly deserved for Scotland
How a Scottish forward didn't get MOTM beggars belief
Eddie needs to start watching, and more importantly listening, to Squidge.
It was like watching NZ lose.
A close enough margin that it feels like it's just a matter of time before things click and England win ugly.
And then they don't, and there's a quiet, numbness.
Then a smirk.
Then jubilation.
