England on attack, 5m out…
Scotland break out, Finn Russell hacks ahead… but unfortunately it goes out…
20 Minutes to go in the game…
England penalty from the scrum, 1m further than the Scotland 10m line… so it is a shot at goal.
England 15 / 6 Scotland
England looking a bit better with Ben Youngs at scrummie now…
Scotland scrum penalty.
Scotland will have to hurry up if they want to win the game… 14 minutes to go in the game only.
Maitland forced out, England takes the lineout ball very quickly, but kick it on the Scots who simply counter-attack.
There was an England player in front of the kicker anyway, so Scotland penalty and a shot at goal it is.
YES!
England 15 / 9 Scotland
20 year old Fagerson on for WP Nel
6 Points in it now…
Knock by Scotland from a high ball… England scrum
Looked like Jack Clifford was coming on for England a lot of good things been said about the loose forward
10 Minutes to go in the game
Good in your face defence by Scotland
Hogg takes an easy mark…
Looks like Fagerson put good pressure on England loosehead in that scrum his first at senior international level
Think Hogg and Hardie have been Scotland best players so far
My Man Of the Match would be England’s No 8, Billy Vunipola…
Handbags… little ones.
Evening all. Finally some rugby again!!!! Just got back from work – as much as I desperately want Scotland to win, England are looking a much improved side, and generally don’t look as if they are getting out of second gear.
Scotland penalty on the 15m from touch, for a push off the ball on Laidlaw
82 @ Just For Kicks:
Hello Kickers, you old scallywag!
6 Minutes to go… 6 points in it.
Mike Brown shanks a ball directly into touch… and Scotland has a huge opportunity here, on England’s 10m line.
82 @ grootblousmile:busy!!! been a great year for me so far, feet have hardly touched the ground – knackered, but certainly not complaining!!!
Good to see you got a nice break – and in my neck of the woods, noggal. We are off for a well earned break for a few days at the end of the month, so flat out till then, and then let the hair down a bit.
Spilt by Scotland, England scrum…
… and so the time is cruelly ticking by for Scotland…
86 @ Just For Kicks:
Yeah, we had a good old kuier in the Cape… and specifically there on the West Coast…
For me the year also strated at a heightened pace, much heightened I might add.
Huge England scrum Reid penalised
UNfortunately, Scotland needs a few more Hoggs in the back line! Such a shame they don’t have a bit more depth up here. Good solid players across the board, but too many just lacking the X factor (or Hogg factor)
