Eng vs. Sco - Match thread

[WaspInWales]

Who is England captain now Faz has gone?

Faz can still run the show from the sidelines.

The plan is whenever Scotland score, Farrell can organise a huddle under the posts.

[TheDasher]

This is unforgivable.

[Mr Mwenda]

This thread is in meltdown. Right decision ref.

Right decision my arse. He put his shoulder in and made no attempt to tackle.

I disagree. Still, the call was made, so it goes.

[Which Tyler]

When tackling, isn't it the guy from the mother team you're supposed to knock over? We seem to think it's your teammate

[Mr Mwenda]

What the actial fuck. Worst day of rugby ever.

31 - 38 after 76 mins

It’s still Faz. His presence lasts for decades. You have to calculate it in the same way you calculate the deterioration of radioactive waste.

[Mr Mwenda]

I give up, enjoy the last 5 minutes scotland. Well done.

[twitchy]

Incredible.

[Stom]

By the way...it's quite appalling when your team goes behind and you laugh...

This was appalling. Laid low the underbelly of Eddie's team. Building it around the petulance and temper of the "iceman" leads to a team full of petulance and temper who cannot hold onto a lead of 31, never mind 16.

It's just hilarious and couldn't happen to a nicer team.

But it's a crying shame to some seriously good and likable England players who are having their chance at a WC shot ruined by an Aussie with a plan to destroy England rugby.

[Galfon]

Last chance saloon..line out in corner.

[Which Tyler]

This must be how the kiwis felt in 99

[Stom]

I'm glad it was Ford. But that was shit.

[Galfon]

Brave Ford chances his arm..
38 - 38 after 84 mins.
wtf.
Great spirit Sco..Eng need to find their plan B.
Eng no chance at RWC on this showing.
Sco retain Calcutta Cup.!

[Mellsblue]

I feel like I did at the RWC. Emotionless. Tacticslly clueless and coach favourites not based on performance. Balls to it.

[TheDasher]

Eddie... to have a squad with so much pace, power and talent and to make them so fucking weird... At times we're unplayable, then just terrible, so, so terrible. Arrogance basically, that's our problem. In Eddie's image.

[Mellsblue]

The motm would’ve get near the England team.

[Mr Mwenda]

At least the record stands even though the scotch are clearly moral victors.

[Stom]

The motm would’ve get near the England team.

Surely it's Farrell. He did make 3 tries.






For Scotland

[Mellsblue]

Faz saying sorry in an awfully long winded way.

[jngf]

Exciting match - and incredible comeback for Scots - England still less than the some of their individual parts perhaps but hopefully will learn from this experience and put it to use in Japan.

[morepork]

someone say it. Farrell cost you the win.

[Epaminondas Pules]

Wow reading this thread is like reading the comments of the daily mail. It’s fucking hilarious! Blaming individual players for conceding 38 points! Genuine! It would be useful if some people on this board actually watched rugby regularly or maybe even played it.

Quite some turn around from Scotland that and then superb resilience from England to get the draw.

I think what usually happens is that we get a big injection from our subs in the second/front row. The combination of injuries sort of left us completely knackered.

Oh and if youngs could not have gifted them all those points would have been nice.

Not sure about that but he's burnt through his crefit from the ireland and france games. Time fof ford or cipriani to have a crack woth tuilagi and slade!
