We've done great to get back in the game a couple of times but then handed them a try.

England have been appalling under the high ball, dont think we've taken one in defence or attack.

Terrible from England from the first minute, yep first yellow is a bit harsh, but we’re back in it at 17-10 and then give away a stupid try, again 11 points behind but have momentum and ford does that.
Pitty for Scotland fans their team only gets that motivated on certain occasions.

There is no way a knee to the face by a player jumping into an England player should mean a red for the England player. England did not do well in the second half but we cannot pretend that game was not decided by the referee.

All on England bad discipline early on and not coping with 14 men for half the game.
On Scotland since 2018 they’ve won 19 six nations games 6 of them v England. Basically almost a 3rd of their wins.
This years tournament has an air of predictability to it. England win their home games but look tat in their two difficult away games.
Gut feeling this might finally be Italy’s year to finally beat England too. Absolutely no mugs especially at home.

The Scottish player played the ball. The English player didn’t, so took him out in midair which isn’t allowed because they end up falling on their head. Tacking him with his face is just more stupid and not sympathy/mitigation.
