    A better kick from Russell could have seen a potential try.

    Some of the English tacklers are taking their sweet time rolling away. Lucky not to get penalised really.

    Really silly mistakes at crucial moments costing Scotland dearly.

    If Scotland are going to break the English defence, it will more than likely come through Hogg.
    Has been very lovely in this game.

    Was the one the French got to ultimately win the game not a decent kick??

    Absolute belter of a kick that was.

    You're right - it was great. A lot of kicks missed though.

    If Scotland are winning, they always screw it up at the last moment. If they're losing, well they're losing. Years of hair-wrenching experience...What happened to the days of Gavin Hastings and so on....we were a good team in the day!

    That was idiotic of Farrell to shove Laidlaw.

    And there's Farrell's moment of general nastiness that we usually get at least once per game.

    Did he really expect to get away with that?

    Really lack ball carrying in the pack. Without that and against a very good England defence you're expecting a clean break from a back which would be rare as hen's teeth really.

    From his face, I think he hoped to yeah. I don't know what goes through his head... mind you, it's always short of being a yellow, so he keeps getting away with it. Maybe it's all completely calculated to wind people up.

    Scotland have to work so hard for every yard they make. They need to be smarter.

    All huff and puff but once again Scotland were never really going to break the defensive line.

    It'll be interesting to see how Ireland cope with them.

    So this is England under their new coach. Looks a bit like the old England to me.

    Bollocks, but no surprise...Scotland were always on the defense.
