    Oh to be a fly on the wall in England’s dressing room now. I’d say Eddie is spitting feathers

    I now fear Scotland.

    win here, beat us and they have Italy in the last round

    could end up winning the title

    need to keep there heads though in the 2nd half, delighted for Jones and England though

    Scotland with their tales up, could be dangerous in dublin as they have italy in last game (providing they win here)

    The problem with england losing here is that they would be under no pressure in last game and I am almost certain they would beat us like we did to them last year.

    I'd question if this England team can beat France in two weeks.

    Nice to see England having it socked to them for once, a soft Grand Slam and championship and they’re World Cup contenders all of a sudden, Jesus wept.

    Eddie Jones is going to go balistic in the England dressing room.

    I hope they show it on the telly like they did before with the French coach

    England are pulling a 2017 Ireland here. They underestimated the Scottish in Murrayfield and I wonder if they can recover from that first half?

    Amazing scoreline for Scotland from this half. What a game so far. It is a terrific watch.

    If the Scots keep this up to get a win; it would be great for us to be ahead of England in the table.

    Guy has had huge criticism, nice to see him making a few people munch their words!

    England got into the Scotland 22, and then Brown takes the man out - poor execution from England

    Completely different player today compared to the previous ones.

    I hope this isn't like England vs Italy last year when England went in ten-odd points down at half time and came out and tonked Italy in the second half.

    Think Scotland are a bit stronger than Italy last year thought.

    A soft Grand Slam?

    Of course they are world contenders.

    Still...nice to see Scotland putting it up to them. Long way to go here.

    So far with France it is like they have been sent out to “have a crack”. No sign of any game plan beyond that. It’s quite amazing in this day and age when you have Schmidt, Jones et al getting their teams to such a level of preparation.

    Two of the best flat passes I've seen in a while.. and Huw Jones has something that you can't coach.. natural pace and an instinct for a good line.

    I think he's gone a bit too fond of that moniker and plays up to the limelight a bit too much..

    But he's still a good ref

    Shades of BOD against Oz in 02 for the lions. Incredible from Jones

    01!

    But yes, there was definitely a bit of BOD in that try!
    True enough. Hard to believe it's that long ago!

    Huw Jones is a hell of a player.

    Scotland owe a lot to the Groundkeeper in SA that spotted him.
