Burkie1203

Great start by England

ednwireland

interesting this now, last 2 ireland opponents.

soft try , defence just stretched.

lawrencesummers

Scotland with a clear tactical change this week.

deciding to be terrible at the start of the game instead of the end

Burkie1203

Scotland been rubbish so far

DVDM is English kryptonite

Burkie1203

Dvdm making that look harder then it was

A-Train

It’s all Scotland now

FrancieBrady

Comedy of errors but Scotland taking their chances

sligeach

I noticed all the fans in the stands at the Scotland v England rugby match drinking cans. They don't need to worry about carrying their empties home afterwards, spoiling their fun to get a deposit back.

A-Train

That’s a lovely hat trick

FrancieBrady

VdM will hurt you if you let him

Taxi for felix jones

Dick phelan

DVM is some finisher some try scoring record.

bnt

Well, a Scot named Van Der Merwe (?) just scored his third try of the match. Scotland 24-13 after Russell middled his third conversion.

Burkie1203

Nothing there

Burkie1203

That went back first?

FrancieBrady

England are very poor. Scotland OK, but not great either

The normally look like a group of relaxing priests

Dick phelan

You'd have to be confident we will be too much for England

Yes but we could be looking at a full award ceremony deciding match against Scotland, triple crown, championship and GS which would be a great end

Unless we are badly off, I think we should beat them well

sydthebeat

My god but England are muck

Ye but if Scotland don't get a bonus point here and we beat England then the championship will already have been decided.

FrancieBrady

Scots went asleep there

lawrencesummers

15 mins and 14 points.

still plenty of time for Scotland to throw it away

Only one of those 3 tries could you blame on the system. But Ireland will devour it

Dick phelan

Scotland probably still throw this away.

lawrencesummers

Scotland, like their 10 love doing the fancy things, not so much the simple things like catching a kick off.

Dick phelan

Might sound arrogant but honestly we look levels above anyone in this championship.

PTH2009

Ah sure England have the cup in Twickenham

Ben healy got 2mins

FrancieBrady

England playing like they want rid if Borthwick

Dick phelan

England are actually pretty poor aren't they.

Burkie1203

Bad call.from Brace there, knee on ground

lawrencesummers

In the last few mins Scotland mauled england halfway up the pitch only for the ballcarrier to get stripped and then compound the error with Dvdm lifting past the horizontal and giving away all the yards gained from the maul and getting a YC.

The scots have an amazing ability to shoot themselves in the foot

Dick phelan

No bonus point great for us.

irelandrover

Should Scotland not have kept playing?They needed the bonus point, and couldn't possibly lose the game.

Burkie1203

Did DVDM say he had never scored a hat trick for England before in his interview

That's what I heard

Eibhir

The only fear is England do an Ireland in 1993 type game. Throw everything at it like v South Africa 4 months ago. They lost a WC semi by a point so they can get down and dirty.

'against' England surely?

Eibhir

The boys saying if it rains. Maybe it'll snow like Twickenham 6 years ago, grand for handling!

I think he said for too!

Podge_irl

He said for, but I think he can be forgiven a slip of the tongue all things considered!

sligeach

Well done Scotland. They deserved that win and set a few records in the process.

StevenToast

This years 6 nations is absolute muck.

thamus doku

That was hard to watch. England back play was poor and passing at times very amateur

Ardillaun

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121813245#Comment_121813245

Sounded like that to me too. Presumably, he knows he plays for Scotland these days? If his first language is Afrikaans rather than English, that adds a degree of difficulty in the moment.

Ardillaun

Ford might be better off going for a drop-goal every time he gets the ball. None of the starting backs outside him looked any good today. At the very least, Feyi-Waboso should start and Cunningham-South in the forwards.
