England vs Scotland - minute-by-minute - SPOOF (real one coming tomorrow)
I'm going to be away tomorrow, so I won't be able to watch the game until late in the evening and thus won't be around on the board. Therefore I thought I'd get an early start on the minute-by-minute - hopefully should be able to get a fair chunk of it done before the game even kicks off.
Initial impressions:
Really cheering to see that the light at the end of the tunnel of finally winning last week turned out to be a complete false dawn and we've once again collapsed into mediocrity. Personally, I join Oakboy in blaming it all on Should BeSacked.
Marcus Smith at 15 - was he really worth the -7/10 that he got in all the newspapers after dropping every high ball put up on him? I thought substituting him for Ben Curry so that Earl could stand at full-back was a bit harsh, but I am reliably informed that 15s can slot seemlessly into inside centre, so the reverse must surely also be true - Earl for 15 going forwards!
On a brighter note, I thought Ted Hill showed well at lock amidst everything else falling apart. Worth another go in the face of Itoje's injury?
This week's is Simple errors that crushed our spirits: FSmith x3, Genge x4, Slade x2, Lawrence x1, MSmith x43, Puja x4
Minute 1: Scotland's first interception try...

Are you sure that you're not really Scottish?

On the bright side, will likely be quicker and shorter.
I am interested to do this, on the grounds of what the bloody hell sometimes can be quite intriguing. Not sure how my enthusiasm would've held up had that conversion gone over, mind.

You're a gluten for punishment.
Perhaps a counter for a mishit box kick...

Your red print accumulator should be "Possession kicked away again".
