Thoroughly well deserved.

Some things to fix in attack but that will do for starters.

I thought Hoggs captaincy got some unfair stick in the autumn but I think he leads this team well.

The lack of euphoria on here is perplexing. We haven't done that since 1983! I'm sure that a fair percentage of us have never seen Scotland win at Twickenham other than in the sevens. Not a player scores less than 10/10, even if we only scored 11 points.

That was also one of the most one-sided 5 point victories that I've ever seen. They didn't sniff a try.

I love the touch of getting the debutants to lift the cup. Redpath was to the manor born today. Looks nailed on for the next decade.

First win in twikkers since I started following rugby!! That's amazing. I'm so made up for them. Feels churlish to say Hogg was never motm but it doesn't really matter, they all were great.

Covid innit.

We've had a death in the family recently and this has cheered me up no end. Just not capable of euphoria yet.

I'm sorry about that. Perspective is of course important, it's just a game of rugby after all.

Ta,.I know I can be a grumpy git at the best of times :-)

I think we can and will play better too. Not our best performance from 9 and 10 and yet never looked like losing. Today is a good day.

Also worth noting the passage of play that led to Finns yellow was caused by a ref mistake. Harris didn't kick it out on the full but the ref overruled the touch judge.

Well done boys.That was sweet and well deserved. Still think Russell is a bit of a liability, but hell, whatever you guys were doing it was nice to see.

This, really classy move from Hoggmeister. Redpath went very well indeed.

Well, there were one or two tense moments, but I didn`t doubt the outcome for a single second after Watson shinned it into touch.



Technical note.. Steele`s box kicks looked rather nifty.

Cheers. Funeral yesterday was tough but my Grandad would have loved watching today. Would be the first person that phoned me after the game.

Happy with today. Fuck it Hoggy for Lions captain.

Dave Cherry proving the Stade Niçois link is paying off.

Turner - awesome. Just concentrated on his job and kept going through the process. Well done. Whatever he (and the rest of them) did in training, more of the same and then some more this week please. Great execution on the day. Thinking rugby.

A great result. Kept thinking when we missed the two kicks that it was going to come back to haunt us, then the shortness of the pass for the drop goal.

If you look at wales 2006. It was a game that turned their entire decade. Scotland are by far the final article but I think they will grow

And I think of the lions does go ahead we will have more than a few tokens.

Boom. We made some mistakes but we actually dominated that. Finn wasn't at his very best but he mixed his game up so much better than Farrell. He showed there is a better way than just hoofing it long every time (a fair few of his mistakes came on advantage too).

I know I'm a fan boy but Fagerson was great too.

Finn's kicking from hand and tee was brutal, almost gave the match sway when he tried to kick the ball away at the end of the first half with a tackler on top of him was a total cop out from him, presumably he called the ridiculous dg aswell?

Hoggs howitzers kept England pinged in their own half
