Last 10 meetings

2011 England 22 - 16 Scotland
2010 Scotland 15 - 15 England
2009 England 26 - 12 Scotland
2008 Scotland 15 - 9 England
2007 England 42 - 20 Scotland
2006 Scotland 18 - 12 England
2005 England 43 - 22 Scotland
2004 Scotland 13 - 35 England
2003 England 40 - 9 Scotland
2002 Scotland 3 - 29 England

England 7 - Scotland 2 - Draw 1

England 273 pts - Scotland 143 pts

IMO on paper the Scots might as well start packing their bags, but I have a strange feeling they might just pull it off, Chris Paterson will have plenty of shots at goal if England continue getting penalised at the breakdown and we all know what that means, he very rarely misses unless his wearing cherry and White!

Or am I being silly?

by Breadvan Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:48 am

How the frig can Cole roll away when he's pinned on the deck? Bah....

by HammerofThunor Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:48 am

England penalised for rolling away this time.

by Peter Seabiscuit Wheeler Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:48 am

Cole the first player to ever get penalised FOR rolling away

by lostinwales Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:48 am

Has an offence occured? yes
Is there an englishman nearby? yes

by Guest Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:49 am

by Gatts Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:49 am

Excellent touch judging by the Celt

by eirebilly Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:49 am

Engkand really giving Scotland chances here. I still feel that England will win but i would be nervous if i was a fan. Looks like 6-0

He was rolling thats why he tripped the scrum half

by Cari Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:49 am

Gwaaan Nigey!!!

I think he's learnt from the James Hook incident...

by Cumbrian Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:49 am

??? Dan Cole was getting out of the way! He'd have sure as hell penalised him if he'd stayed there!

by **rodders** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:49 am

Yes!

by Breadvan Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:49 am

Eng need to get some phases together.

by flyhalffactory Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:49 am

COME ON DESPERATE

by Guest Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:50 am

woo it was over!

Bit of a weird penalty, think it was more for Cole getting in the way then for not rolling/rolling? away. Weird though.

Good take by Armitage fair play.

by Guest Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:52 am

Lawes saved England's bacon there, that was a great turnover by Scotland and Lawes gets it straight back.

by HammerofThunor Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:52 am

Blair offside there. Never went behind the back foot. Not picked up of course

by Gatts Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:52 am

Ha ha Kev the cat is asleep and appears to be whistling!!!

by Peter Seabiscuit Wheeler Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:52 am

wilko looks nervous

by TheGreyGhost Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:53 am

Jonny should have switched the ball first maybe Whistle

by Cari Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:53 am

I thought that was going to go over. It's very windy there though.

Well this has all the makings of a try filled excitement festival. Who said NH teams just try to kick penalties from anywhere?

by HammerofThunor Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:55 am

Some are so obvious you just can't avoid it Smile

by Guest Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:55 am

shh biltong, some can only see with one eye for this match, let's not spoil it for them Wink

by Gatts Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:55 am

Oh Jonny, don't give up your day job

by **Biltong** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:56 am

Maybe they should give Johnny a soccer ball.

He missed teh offside from Blair and the not staright throw to be fair :P

by **Biltong** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:57 am

The IRB should change the law that you can bring your own ball (to kick I mean), they do it in golf.

by TheGreyGhost Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:57 am

I'm wondering whether the IRB should introduce "style points", and teams that are boring both go out, regardless of the actual score?

by HammerofThunor Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:58 am

Obvious Scottish players were confused by Jourbert's earlier behaviour and thought they could get away with murder.

Youngs has got a really whiny voice.

Oh FFS

by Cari Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:58 am

Jebus Johnny!!

by Gatts Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:58 am

Jonny...ffs change the ball

by Cumbrian Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:58 am

For Flip sake Jonny.

by flyhalffactory Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:58 am

JONNY we love you

by Breadvan Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:58 am

Oh johnny.... Sad

by Peter Seabiscuit Wheeler Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:59 am

OK we cant change the balls but would anyone notice if we bought Flood on for the kicks?

by Gatts Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:59 am

england france...should be a cracker Doh

by **rodders** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:59 am

Scotland need to keep the ball in hand when they get into Englands half.

by Thomond Sat 01 Oct 2011, 8:59 am

Jonny misses again, Scotland are perhaps slightly lucky Wilko is kicking awful but they're doing alright besides that. Need to take it to the England pack more. I think Parks is actually having a good impact on the game. Hope Ruaidhri is alright though.

by Guest Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:00 am

they've been 3 difficult kicks to be fair, but you'd still have expected him to get at least one of them.

by **Biltong** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:00 am

Oh, Johnny boy, the balls, the balls are calling.

by TheGreyGhost Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:00 am

Wilkinson playing well though. Some great defensive work, and decent territorial kicking.

He's making the mistake of giving it too much height into the NE wind over the stadium. Patterson kept it low...

by **rodders** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:00 am

Jonny may have to wait a while for that knighthood..... Whistle
