    Scotland are playing brilliantly, but coming out if that sin.bin period just two points to the better is a big missed opportunity. Especially when.you consider for how long they were in England's 22.

    Couple of poor decisions there in a row.

    Really nasty looking late tackle on Russell.

    With all their possession and territorial advantage... Scotland will only be a whisker ahead at half time

    Kind of insane that Russell goes to the bin for that, yet the nonarms chop tackle earlier goes unnoticed.

    Credit to Neville spotting the trip but she was also asleep for the chop at the other end.
    England always fall on the luckier side of these things.

    Scotland 30 mins of absolute dominance. 10 mins of that against 14 men. 8 points.

    England attack once. 3 points.

    Scotland huffing and puffing and not achieving much.

    I was going to say Scotland don't immediately resort to skulldugerry and borderline cheating when England are in possession but then finn Russel did that.

    That said, England are forever over the line as far as I can see and are playing within a different set of rules almost

    Russell cost his team.a try earlier and is now getting binned for a trip. Scotland have been so good and he's now cocked it all up.

    Contrast this brilliant, aggressive, attacking rugby Scotland are playing with the gutless ball surrendering we'll have to endure from Ireland tomorrow.

    We have lost to Scotland twice in the last decade while racking up a bunch of titles. They haven't won anything in that time period.

    'Gutless ball surrendering'... :rolleyes:

    I swear Finn Russell shows he’s absolutely quality and completely insane in every single Scotland game

    Fair play to England for giving a chance to players from the lower leagues...

    Dallaglio and Scott Hastings seem determined to excuse Russell for that trip...

    Anyway entertaining half of rugby.

    Taking 3 points in front of the England posts after England had conceded 4 penalties. It's crazy.

    Jonny Gray’s picks from the base of the ruck have worked really well so far. England so committed to the blitz.

    England are dreadful. Bit surprising. Great chance for scots to win this.

    Baffles me why we never do this v England. They don't committ many men to the rucks.

    How Itoje is still on the pitch is beyond me. A penalty machine.

    That should have been an intentional knock on from Daly. He had zero chance of regathering that and just slapped it away.

    Another no arm chop tackle from Genge

    Edit - actually on replay it was just about OK

    Should be another yellow for curry incredibly cyclical to kill the advantage.

    nearly every tackle close to the knees I see in the game the last year is like that.. seen worse go frequently unpunished

    even forgetting that; England were very cynical at every breakdown. Little consequence for it. It's poor refereeing for me.

    Dallaglio saying he wrapped. He throw his hands out, there was no wrap. Textbook chop.
    Lovely seeing penalties against Genge and Itoje.

    Look like an attempted wrap to me, not his fault that the attacked spun up.
