Scotland v England Sat 24 Feb 4.45pm

[Stom]

The thing is...

You can see that we've truly made improvements. At some times we look truly good.

But we just make so many mistakes. And those mistakes AREN'T coming from the kids,

[Mellsblue]

A copy of Steve Borthwick's autobiography narrated by George Furbank as it's the only thing he'll be doing during international weekends after this.

He’ll only have to record it once. What will he be doing on all the other weekends?
George Martin, out of his depth.

It wasn't great was it. As it went backwards and the ref cocked up the call we'll let him off this time. That and because he just made two really good carries.

The ref’s against us. We’ve started another game of fkas bingo.

[Stom]

Oh look, Spencer better than Care? Yeah, about that...

[FKAS]

Furbank would have caught it

Steward would’ve caught it and scored whilst filling out the forms to adopt an orphan.

Just a warm up for King Freddie.

[Insouciant]

Yeesh.. poor chip through attempt gives away possession, then we make it a penalty too. We are helping the Scots out a fair bit.

How shit does Ford have to play for Smith to be allowed any time off the bench?

[Adam_P]

Also - get Slade off for Feyi-Waboso, Freeman or Daly to 13.

61 minutes worth, apparently

On he comes.. a full 19 mins!!

[Stom]

Damn, this is awful, absolutely atrocious. I take it back, this is possibly the worst I've seen us play since Eddie was here...

[Mellsblue]

We’re shit. Proof that looking vaguely competent against other shit teams means nothing.

[FKAS]

How shit does Ford have to play for Smith to be allowed any time off the bench?

You've got your wish.

Ford was alright, not a standout but solid enough.

[Mellsblue]

If Farrell played like Ford we’d crucify him. Not that I blame any back for looking terrible in this team.

Ford was alright, not a standout but solid enough.

His passing was regularly gash and unsympathetic. I am a fan of Ford, but he was poor today.

[Mr Mwenda]

We need to talk about the elephant in the room, the Bedford finishing school. None of the players look up to it. Instead they just look finished.

Agree to disagree.

Good start for Fin Smith though, he's looked composed in this first two touches.

[FKAS]

Well that's more like it.

[Insouciant]

Great line. Ooof fin. We needed that.

[Mellsblue]

Only Dan Cole in this team has been to the finishing school and I think we can all agree that he has been glorious.

[Adam_P]

Also - get Slade off for Feyi-Waboso, Freeman or Daly to 13.

When shall I take over from Steve? Shame about the conversion Fin

At least pretend to be objective.

[Stom]

It's not even that the forwards aren't setting a platform...

We're just not playing any rugby. There's nothing to try and make sense of.

And it's all the worse because we looked by far the better team for the first 15 minutes, and then just completely fell apart.

[Mellsblue]

Not good enough from Chessum. Out of his depth.

[Stom]

Decision making crap again.

And then Chessum failing to catch a simple offload. Utterly terrible.

[Stom]

Not good enough from Chessum. Out of his depth.

Great minds
