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

[Grizwald]

Couple of cack decisions from Smith. Keep hold of the ball.

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Youngs doing his best to kill the attack with passes alternating between the air above players' heads and their bootlaces.

 

[curtbob7]

Incredibly harsh on Chessum.

You literally see that 160 times in one game and a ref decides to penalise it when it’s 23-22.

 

[Reiser99]

Smith's grubbers haven't worked. He's doing it when there isn't a good option rather than waiting for no cover in the back field.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Youngs doing his best to kill the attack with passes alternating between the air above players' heads and their bootlaces.

He probably thinks that over the head and on the laces averages as correct statistically so all ok.

 

[AlRums]

VDM the man today

 

[Reiser99]

Terrible kick from Youngs.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

That's the best passage of play so far.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He's taken his tries really well but Malins defence has been poor

 

[McTallshort]

That was bloody good

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Scots have looked good with ball in hand.

 

[BrokenWing]

How many times have England players been stepped today?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Always a game England would lose

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Need to bring Lawrence on - we've not looked like scoring with the current setup, need to change something for the final 5

 

[Reiser99]

Possible forward pass in the build up, but England's defence is not good enough.

 

[AlRums]

Smith got a pride flag on his ar se?

 

[IT157]

How many times have England players been stepped today?

Steward is not good as the last man of defense either. Feels like he gets stepped almost every time.

 

[curtbob7]

Youngs garbage but my word Smith has made some poor decisions.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Youngs garbage but my word Smith has made some poor decisions.

Seems to consistently line up on the wrong side of the ruck - not sure if it's cause we're trying to confuse the defence with Smith on the shortside and Farrell on the other but always just ends with Smith crabbing then taking contact and us scrabbling to retain

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

If I were a youth coach I'd tell my parents to turn games off when Youngs comes on. Even under advantage that tumble kick is so ridiculously stupid.
