6N 2025 England V Scotland

[sparky]

Finn Russell's performance has been Messy rather than Messi. He's had a stinker.

[sparky]

Clock up. Scotland trying to set up a drop goal.

[sparky]

Scotland will have a penalty.

[sparky]

Scotland with a lineout.

Stink.

Had to happen sooner or later I suppose.

England win the Calcutta Cup and retain the Raeburn Shield.

They were outplayed today but credit to them for scoring more points than their opposition.

[sparky]

Ben Curry was huge for England when he came on.

Well bloody good test, even if I was cheering for losers. Probably can't argue with result, Poms just did what they needed to , and held on.

[Bones]

I really hope England see that as progress.

[sparky]

Goalkicking wins you Tests.

It's quite frustrating. I want to be happy for the other half and see them lose so they can get a coach in that takes advantage of this generational talent that's being let down by misdirection. But fuck it's good for the blackness when they carry on down this road.

That's one the Scots let get away. Goal kicking making the difference.

For the Lions Marcus Smith needs to start at 10 or not at all. At 15 he's more of a defensive liability.

[Nepia]

Three tries to none and the poor Scots still lose.

[mariner4life]

Desperately shit game of rugby.

England are more boring now than they were under Woodward. Just a terrible game plan that should have cost them the game.

England can tackle, and they have excellent loose forwards. Picking 6 of them in the 23 and having Itoje makes them a constant menace when you have the.ball. but their backs stink, and their attack is rubbish, and their plan sucks.

For the losers, they have great outside backs, but not much else. Their forwards are nothing more than military medium, and Russell is so over rated.

That is such a Scottish Rugby thing to do to be fair.

But England did get one.
