    Great win Scotland.. but geez.. It really annoys me when bench players come on to the field for celebrations.. just need a ref to penalise them for too many players on the field

    Don't rain on our parade mimic

    "Ohh Flower of Scotland"....... Maitland's try was a corker! Well done the jocks.
    Having said that Farrell has to be the best 2nd five at the moment.

    Great work Scotties. Magnificent stuff. Don't trip up against the wops and the paddies and you're assured a good finish in the tourney.

    Honestly couldn't care less if they get beaten by the others. My brethren beat fucking England and that is all that matters. (More than a bit hilarious seeing all the English whinging on Twitter about Owens. Even more so the accusations that Scottish fans weren't classy cos they booed Eddie Jones...LOL...)

    England really need to think about picking a genuine 7. Scots won the breakdown area hands down.

    Ah, the two year wane of Eddie Jones begins. If history tells us anything it’s that there’s a 74.756% chance that England will continue to fade from now on .

    Just watched the first half of Scotland v England. Huw Jones, outstanding! Finn Russell also very good!

    Huw Jones has made a hell of a difference to this side. A few years ago Scotland was barely scoring a try and their midfield was dysfuntional

    14 Tests and 10 tries is extremely good for a midfielder who, more often than not, is playing for the weaker side

    I don't agree with that at the moment. Scotland are actually pretty good.

    He is a bloody good player though.

    Oh I rate them. They are rarely betting favourites though

    Well congratulations to @Talisker and @MN5 A very well deserved win by much the better side. As someone alluded to earlier the Scots totally bossed the breakdown and simply starved the life out of England. Added to that we were not accurate enough with the possession we did have and coughed up far to much ball.

    Gutted.

    Eddie start packing

    Ireland v Wales score flattered Wales.

    Well beaten.

    Jackson missed a sitter when Evans was taken out in the air but that's just papering over the cracks.

    Biggar doesn’t work with this pack.

    Ireland's backline looked very weak in defense. The Welsh managed to score easy tries out wide with just a few munitions. The Irish win by attrition with their relentless recycling. The game against Scotland will be interesting : will the Scottish forwards (Barclay, Watson and McInally in particular) be a nuisance at the breakdown as they were against the Poms ?

    It is a weak point that’s been flagged for some time. They’ve gone from parsimonious to porous in the space of a year. Having an unsettled midfield is not helping. Henshaw and Ringrose had built up a good partnership but both out through injury. Aki needs more work and Stockdale whilst he’s scoring consistently, is found wanting too on defence.

    I had the joy of watching the Scotland victory in a country pub in the Cotswolds full of 'rugger' types wearing rugby shirts with the collars turned up. With 20 to go they were already saying 'but we'll still be ahead of them on the table'
    The game seemed to me like England were found out as the school bully. Someone stood up to them and they had no idea what to do.
    Agree about Farrell. Don't really like him but I'd have him in an AB squad. Only other Poms I'd consider are Jamie George and possibly Vunipola.

    I had to also swallow a bit of sick in my mouth and agree with Woodentop today. He said no way in hell would the likes of Martin Johnson be subbed of at 55mins when his team was behind and needed their leader to step up and show the way. This idea of playing a captain that gets subbed in a tight game must be an Aussie thing (Cheika was doing it as well).
    Surely Hartley has to be ditched as captain before 2019? Farrell is supposedly the favourite to take over but I don't ever really see him doing anything but his own game. Will be interesting anyway as Eddie keeps on painting toward that corner.

    @nepia fark plenty of room, with all those Scottish grandparents, they built a hugeasmungus wagon years back for occasions such as this.

    I'd assume, moving forward as the 3 compulsory frontrower replacements has percolated it's way through a decade of rugby at lower levels that we will see almost no frontrowers reCing the elite with any prior captaincy experience at any level anyway.

    Hooker, especially, has produced plenty of test captains over the years. Will go the way of wingers throwing into lineout a and 2-3-2 scrums.

    Says plenty to me about the importance Chieka and Eddie place on having a captain.
