Is it Nicol who is the scotch commentator? How does he keep getting work?

Care is a not a starting 9 still. I guess the ruck speed is lower today but still..

There is some ambition. We have put together some very good phases. We've scored a very good try. But the errors are killing us.

What a mad, error-strewn half.

The Genge shuffle/hitch-kick towards the end might be the highlight for me.

The first Furbank knock on wasn't head high the second was but Furbank should have still made the catch. Furbank has been pretty poor, good club man out of his depth again.

Ford looks a bit rushed. He's playing as flat to the line as he can but he looks hurried. Possibly because the rest of the backline seem to be half a step away from where he wants them. Ford is perhaps trying to hard, he needs to just relax a touch as he's not helping the attack trying to force it.

Scotland have barely been in this but have scored two tries purely from England errors.

This. Ford has thrown two horrible passes - more than he does in a season usually. Care should not be there.

Underhill's best game. Props are great in loose play.

Next score is vital!

Where's the like button.

Some many handling errors in and around the Scottish 22.

Lol.

He might have had a chance with the first, but the second he had no chance. Bias showing through there.

Zero chance a player catches that pass.

He made one good break, but other than that, you just think: what the hell did we gain by swapping him in for Dingwall?

I see England have agreed not to pass to Freeman again.

I have to say, our defensive ruck work there was excellent.

We are absolutely throwing this game away with atrocious 1v1 tackling. It's like as soon as the field is broken, teams can waltz through us at will.

He’ll only have to record it once. What will he be doing on all the other weekends?

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.

He looks like he's injured himself missing a tackle on vdM so I'm not so sure.

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