Scotland - the bound to contain detail breakdown

[Digby]

Minute 80

Price makes a box kick, with so many players on the floor he's not awash with options. He tries to shape as though he's kicking to the open side or left touchline and then hooks the ball to the right touchline. Maitland does get there but it's hard for him to gauge where the ball is coming down and he knocks it on which the ref ignores (I assume he doesn't want to end pissing about with a scrum).

Genge gets onto the loose ball and carries forcibly into midfield, Scotland try to counter ruck but nothing doing and Earl has the ball at the base. Earl doesn't pick and go but passes to Lawes, described by many as one of the best carrier in world rugby and here he manages to get to ground which is enough with time up, ball back to Ford and he wellies it off the paddock.

Not sure why Underhill was MoM, I'd have gone for Sincks or Ford, and Curry in the backrow. Pleased to see how quickly Earl settled in

I quite like Price and Hastings. But in these conditions I do wonder why Furbank wasn't tested more, especially after a rocky debut

Thanks for doing that Diggers.

This is like a box kick smashing into a human face forever. RRs own dreary Room 101.
