England v Scotland 6N

[Catogrande]

@Daffy-Jaffy I'm not too unhappy about that squad. I'd have Ribbans to start though and Chessum on the bench as I feel he has a better skill set and can translate all the Afrikaans coming from the Scots.

@Daffy-Jaffy Congratulations to Scotland for finding room for a whole 3 Scotsmen in their backline.

@MN5 trigger alert.

Everyone knows that Van De Merwe, Tuipulotu and Steyn are all clans from the highlands

Clan De Merwe, Pulotu of Loch Tui, and McSteyn - indeed

The lack of Eddie is evident in the non selection of a fit Tuilagi.

@Crucial

Eddie, Lancaster, Jonno.

The back row is an area of strength for the Sweaties, which I think is part of it. Also Toonie send obsessed with shoehorning Watson AND Ritchie on whenever possible, which to me fucks with the balance.

Always has been traditionally, it’s a shame the rest of the positions can’t boast the same.

[Bones]

Curry's 6 nation's debut. That threw me.

[Tim]

I try to be objective about England, but then I hear "swing low ..."

[Bones]

Some shit hot play by Scotland in that build up. Superb.

[Billy Tell]

Lovely from Scotland.

[Tim]

Brilliant from Scotland. Huge gaps in that English defence.

[Bones]

That was ripped by Smith after Tuipulotu was tackled. Well after.

[Bones]

Where the fuck were the whole Scotland team there? Bizarre.

[Bones]

Well worked by England, helluva finish by Malins.

[Tim]

Well taken.

[sparky]

What a try!

[Bones]

England were told to watch Duhan.... and they did.

This is the kind of thing I wish to see from Clarke. Probably would've fallen over after the first step though.

[Victor Meldrew]

England's D looks all over the place.
