Worst 6N match ever.

First topic message reminder :

It should have finished 6-3, but Dan Parks was there to save the day for England.

I wouldn't know which set of fans should be more worried? England offered ZERO in attack, but defended well against possibly the worst display of squandering chances ever seen on a rugby pitch. Scotland did well to create many chances because England were weak, but their mistakes were copious. Even when they did string a few passes in the backs the timing of those passes and positioning was awful.

Englands excuse is inexperience so they did good to get a win in Murrayfield, Scotlands showed us that they should have picked more Edinburgh players. Max Evans was the only threat but a bit selfish.

Wales and France will put at least 30 points on both Scotland and England. Wales v France in cardiff will decide this championship.

Yes you do play the ref but I didn't see any smart rugby yesterday. Neither side seemed to know the rules at the breakdown but the difference was that England committed men to the rucks and Scotland didn't.

Scotland were totally clueless and questions need to be asked about Robinson and perhaps more so Townsend. There is no excuse for a professional side to be poorly drilled and have such a lack of skills, intelligence and cohesion.

England have an excuse at least and will likely improve going forward. However they were devoid of passion, basic ball skills and the set piece was sub standard.

Jeebus I hope todays game is better.

I'll give you two of those, but passion?! Our lads smashed the Scots into the Outer Hebrides from minute 1 to minute 80. Outstanding commitment in defence.

Clancy, as per usual, did have a shocker but he is a monumental erse piece so no change there.
