[2023 Six Nations] England vs Scotland - 4 February 2023

[Crash Hamster]

Oh good a scrum penalty. Can't wait for <checks notes> Cole and Scrumpenipola to come on and shore it up.

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Not a lot to say really other than England looking incredibly underwhelming as usual.

Scotland not having to perform well for this at the moment.

I disagree, already much happier with England so far than the end of the Jones era.

They're a bit disjointed and a percent off in attack and defence, but for a first run out it could be a lot worse.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Front peels are rubbish.

Can't wait for 17 to come on and shore up the scrum

Agree some slack defence but got to give Scotland a lot of credit. Better discipline and decision making thus far.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Farrells complete absence of running threat hurts us so much...

 

[McTallshort]

Pressure pressure pressure! Much better

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That was good, just simple hands
Scotland are reading/shutting down our fancy stuff leading to rushed hospital passes - just keep it simple

[Grizwald]

He's good that Malins....

 

[Crash Hamster]

Ludders did brilliantly there to hold back and take the pass. So many forwards would have over-run that.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

This doesn't really feel like an international in terms of intensity so far.

Good try, Farrell in the pivot created it.

 

[Scotty]

Great play! Shows what we are trying to do. 2 for Malins

 

[Rinkadink]

Iceman

 

[McTallshort]

Please no penalty at the restart

[Reiser99]

When it clicks...great play.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

....kicking

Just let Smith have a go

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Nice by Ludlam, brains there to realise the pass was the better option, something England severely lacked for a while, good decision making sacrificed for glory hunting.

Farrell really proving why he should not be in the team so hard right now.

 

[Ddanno]

Ffs. Get him off
