England have no idea what to do when the ball is slowed.

We aren’t even getting close to clearing rucks. Appalling.
Year after year after year we seem surprised that the Scots are always bang up for this match.

Ha!!!! Exactly as expected from this kick chase outfit.
Drop goal attempt- sums up everything

Good and the correct call to take Itoje off.

Scotland are playing on the limit. England are struggling to get into second. Our breakdown work is woeful, you're spot on.

This game has been 3 moments.
Arundell first yellow which is just wrong.
Genge shitting the bed.
Ford charge down.
We’ve been fucking dreadful but take away those 3 and we win this game pretty comfortably I think.

Ball goes back off blue arm = knock on by white, apparently.
Then ball forwards off blue = "clearly backwards"

Yeah no chance. We've looked toothless and the officials are giving us none of the 50/50s.

How did Cherry not score there? All he had to do was flop down.

I know it’s exciting for the Scots but is the bloke next to Townsend having a wank?

They scored 14 points during the yellow card. Genge costs us 7 points, charge down is a 10 point swing.
How exactly is that “no chance”. Even just the charge down changes the game from 24-16 to 31-13.

If we’d performed ok in the first 30 minutes, our luck street wouldn’t have been so problematic. But we were awful. Genge was awful, Steward started atrociously (improved substantially), everyone missed tackles, and our bench was not good enough.

Has anyone played well? It feels like more than just a defeat. It could mean a total re-think. More disaster than disappointment. We weren't ready at KO. That is a scandal.

I give up. Nothing going right, I doubt that was what they focused on in training. Chastening, really.

We’ve lacked intensity, we’ve missed tackles, we’ve not competed. SB gets nearly all the blame here.
The rest goes to the pack and Itoje just not being enough of a leader. He should get a rest now, or we should demand Saracens rest him.

Nah 1 to 23 plus the coaching staff get the blame. It's been awful. No one is excused.

There are so many players that have been really poor today! As have the tactics and inability to adapt the game.
Fair play Scotland!
The officials? Well. Frankly the ref shouldn’t see another top tier game for a very long time!

Steady Dors!!! You will get stats and facts thrown at you.
Not a chance of winning a WC with this backline
