England hard on attack, try? TMO?
Not Given. An infringement earlier on
Against the Hooker for high tackle
Try Lunchbar… I mean Launchbury, for England… now they’re farking with my Bru
No, there was foul play by a Pom, no try
Scotland kick into touch just inside their own half
Now it’s a try for England…
Youngs having an outstanding game, move ends in a try by Geoff Parling
Parling, the scorer
One way traffic for England now. Sorry Beanie 🙁
England 31 / 11 Scotland (55 min) as Farrell misses his first kick of the day
99 @ The_Young_Turk:Suddenly she has a very exciting book – hasn’t got time to watch telly!
@ Just For Kicks:
I know those books can be very very interesting sometimes 😉
Changes for the England side. Youngs and Marler off
Scotland going backwards now at a rate of knots
England looking very strong. Good defence by the Scots. Just hold out and force England into touch
Twelvetree’s could well get MOM on his debut. Had a very good game
Still early days in the competition but I don’t see this year as the year of Scottish resurgence. The important match is going to be the one against Italy to determine the holder of the wooden spoon.
Scotland turn over ball on their own line. Run the ball out, and end up with a penalty inside Englands half for their effort. Kick to touch 5m outside Englands try line
Come on you Kilts, drag a try back for my Bru!
@ The_Young_Turk:Could be a very important trophy, that Wooden Spoon. Potentially the more important and the bigger of all the trophies!
For the Scots, Beattie has been the stan out player, and they really need him now
Scots can see the line. Again whistle goes, and again scrum goes their way.
…..and they fluff it. England get the relieving penalty
Trouble here for Scott and a high tackle. Just a warning. Flood on for Farrell
Scotland trying valiantly, but seem to lose the ball every time a ruck is formed. England hard on attack again
Great run away try for Hogg and Scotland
Tryyyyyyy Scotland!
Whoop!
Nice break away try against the flow from the Skirts!
England 31 / 18 Scotland
Laidlaw slots the conversion.
England 31 / 18 Scotland (71 min)
