[2020 Six Nations] Scotland vs England (08/02/20)

[Groundhog]

If either team can find a try somewhere thay could be the winning.

Also Guscott really is annoying isn't he, took about two minutes for him to drive me off BBC

Yeah one try will be the winning of this game. Wind isn't really in anyone's favor it's just swirling. I spat earlier with the wind and it hit me in the face. Says a lot about society.

I hope you're not basing that on the commentary as at least one of the touch finders credited to Farrell was actually Ford.

In general, ornfor this game? Because in these conditions Farrell over Ford all week.

Agree just think the 3 opens side system is working much better as they can make more ground than last week, due to less power in back line. In these conditions Farrell, but 'normal conditions' I would go with both. Then against Wales, Ireland and France pick one of them with a bigger centre. Still want Nowell instead of Daly when fit.

Here we go

Round 2, could be a mudbath

 

[TheOvalBall]

Wow, almost something happening there.

 

[CAB]

This match is a purge to watch ... even if it's mostly due to weather conditions.

Hmmmm I thought I recognised them both on sight but fair enough, I might be being unfair if that's the case

 

[TommiG88]

Nice one Ford

Edit: typical England just switching off.

What a mess

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

How many times must we knock on in the 22!?

What the **** was that!? Headless chickens again! Get a ******* grip.

 

[TommiG88]

Absolute shambles!

GET FORD OFF

 

[Reiser99]

England need to get smarter and play tactically.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Wouldn't it be great if this match ended 3-3 ? Typical early 1900's score.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

******* hell Ford

 

[Every Time Ref]

How in God's name is that not a not straight line??

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Awful play from Ford. Really just had to take the hit there.

I've noticed it a couple of times (and once in reverse).
Generally though, Ford has kicked to compete, which the wind plays havoc with, whilst Faz has been sweep-kicking from wider out - much easier to keep below the worst of the wind.

Now, Ford could switch to sweep kicking as well I guess, but the kick to compete really isn't benefitting anyone as it's too damned unpredictable. I suspect who's taking which type of kick is dependent on who's standi g where on the field

Shovelling on shit is always a bad idea though

Bad pass but May was calling for it

Bad pass but May was calling for it

Aye but he's not 32ft tall, like
