    Scotland deserved that.

    Not sure England did the right thing in sacking Eddie Jones.

    Marcus Smith is Richie Mounga with straight hair.

    Discuss.

    Great game. No idea why Marcus Smith is playing test rugby. Seems well below that level.

    Not based on this game. But early days still. England's defense needs some work.

    Esp with Farrell as an option for England.

    Like Moanga, needs a block busting 2nd five outside him. They are hard to find these days.

    The kiwi match officials went fine.

    Yeah. Only 2 games, but so far the Reffing has been good so far with minimal stoppages and a bit of common sense on what could have been contentious decisions. Hope it continues

    I lived in England for over 20 years but as this game progressed wanted Scotland to win. Just more adventureous and took their chance's esp with England's defense not a strength

    One comment on the BBC website. Saw this made before the game too. Will a change be made here

    John Barclay. Former Scotland captain on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The Marcus Smith and Owen Farrell axis doesn't work. England were great going forward but how many times did we see Marcus carry the ball to the line? He did that as no one was there to pass to.

    If you have someone outside, someone who can bring the power game, and you can change distribution. You saw Smith and Farrell carrying and while they are smart rugby players, they aren't the strongest ball carriers

    Final comment. Three wins in a row for Scotland over England

    Bad start for Borthwick. Losing at home. But Italy next week then Wales then France and Ireland. So 2 easier team to get things back on track

    Scotland have Wales then France then Ireland

    I don’t get up to watch sport at 3am anymore. I value my sleep far too much.

    Smith should be ashamed of that. Zero urgency just jogging across. Farrell also made a bunny but you could argue he was over running to make up for Smith.

    Fantastic Scotland

    Not all doom and gloom today 😉

    VDM try a thing of beauty

    England are one or two selections from being 6N champions

    Smith or Farrell, not both

    Good strong inside centre, not Tuilagi

    A better backup than Youngs

    A big problem is that Farrell has been de-powered tackle wise. He is not a defensive force if he can't put in high-ish league hits.
    Against Ireland you want to defend outside in and take away Sexton's options. I'd be asking my 12 to target him all day. Marginally late hits a priority.
