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?

Taxi for Jonny!

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:37 am

Terrible decision from Wilkinson there.

by trebellbobaggins Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:37 am

Dear God JW cannot kick to save his life.. Parks showing him the way today. You just can't win if you turn a team over like that under the posts and then blow it. Time for Flood maybe.

by Cari Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:37 am

How on earth did he miss that? Perfect position for a DG. What's the betting he'll get all the blame if England lose though?

by Davie Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:37 am

Where is the :facepalm: when we need it?

by **Biltong** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:38 am

Someone's upset. Shocked

And he can't spell. Rolling Eyes

by EnglishReign Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:38 am

Wilko you joker, that was a dead cert try.

by Gatts Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:38 am

I always knew Jonny was a closet Haggis lover

by Cari Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:38 am

Biltong - Count or Wilko? Wink

by QuickBall Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:39 am

Youngs is having a mare

by mckay1402 Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:40 am

I'm starting to feel a bit sick with tension.

by mckay1402 Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:41 am

aaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhh

by **rodders** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:41 am

AAAAHHH!!!! Doh

by Guest Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:41 am

how did they knock that on?!?!

DeLuca! aaaaaargh!

Huge missed chance for Scotland there. Can't believe it.

by HammerofThunor Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:41 am

Fantastic hand in there by Foden

by TheGreyGhost Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:42 am

Oh Scotland, how could you mess that up?

by Cari Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:42 am

Quickball - we're at the 53rd minute.

Come on Scotland FFS!!

by paulscholes Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:42 am

bring on flood and hape

by Guest Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:42 am

Hammer - aye twas, but that was just so easy for DeLuca, don't know how he messed taht up.

by trebellbobaggins Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:42 am

what a mess from england.

Scotland causing chaos. no way out for eng today is there.

by mckay1402 Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:42 am

Fair play to Foden that was amazing defence

by trebellbobaggins Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:43 am

after a couple against the head against them, the scot commentator reckons scotland have the edge in the scrum now!

well they've got the score to put out england anyway.

by mckay1402 Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:44 am

A wet ball picked up at full pace is not that easy. it's not like he wasn't under pressure either

by Cari Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:44 am

Very good defence by Foden, but De Luca should've been over. Big scrum now for Scotland...they've got the penalty. They're going for the points. Should they have gone for a corner there?

by **rodders** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:44 am

Matt Stevens looks like he's going to cry laughing

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:45 am

Dan Cole really struggling.

by TheGreyGhost Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:45 am

Yep, he should have diving on it and slid over.

by mckay1402 Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:45 am

can't watch the kick

by **Notch** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:45 am

No way Cari! Need to be ahead by more than a score.

by **rodders** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:45 am

Patterson you beauty! Yahoo

by mckay1402 Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:45 am

COME ON!!!

by Cari Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:45 am

English commentator putting the curse on....YAY!!!!!!!!!

Scotland lead by 9 after 60 minutes!!!

by mckay1402 Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:46 am

Did I read somewhere that Scotland haven't beaten England by more than 6 points for 25 years?

by HammerofThunor Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:46 am

Thank god for that

by Cumbrian Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:46 am

Good Jonny!

by Davie Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:47 am

The sainthood is again a possibility

by Gatts Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:47 am

Didn't Jonny do that once before at RWC?

by **Ozzy3213** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:47 am

Great nudge Wilko. He's kicked poorly today but the fella has some cojones!

by Guest Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:47 am

ah Jonny gets the DG! back to 6 point gap, so blydi tense this match!

by Peter Seabiscuit Wheeler Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:47 am

fine wilko got one but england are have played into scotlands hands through this by always looking for the 3 pointers

by alfie Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:47 am

With the lead out to 9 points England need something ...like a Wilkinson drop goal Very Happy

Game on !

by Cari Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:47 am

oops! Spoke too soon, Johnny gets England back within six.

by paulscholes Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:47 am

well done JW

by **rodders** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:48 am

Jonny Wilkinson MOTM!

by Cari Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:48 am

This game's going to go down to the very last nail biting second isn't it?

by **Notch** Sat 01 Oct 2011, 9:49 am

Wilkinson is class, just for those moments. Can't relax when he's on the pitch unless you're sitting on a big lead.
