At the moment Scotland KICKS England to shreds, a real kick in the arse
Drop attempt by Parks, just short
Youngs throws in at the scrum, so skew it’s behind the legs of his locks
Joubert misses a Scotish knock, says play on…
Tindell is such a cart horse…
Handbags
Penalty England, kickable again, what will Ohnny do
Fortune is favoring the Bravehearts.

Poms do well to hold out the Bravehearts there.
Not a hint of a try yet, if you want to play like this, you MUST have an ACE Goal Kicker!
