Daly created that try. It's him calling the overlap on the outside.

Our maul's light-years better than it has been for a long while, since before Borthwick's left. Never looked in danger of getting disarranged there, despite a lot of Scots attempts at cheating.

Youngs hasn't been great, but that was a very nice draw and give.

Would put it more down to Smith timing his run to the last second. About time as he’s been poor otherwise.

Wouldn’t say poor, more hit and miss.

Ludlam just missed the tackle for going to early.

They've been swapping around all game.

Youngs needs to come off now. Shocking play at the base of the ruck there.

Thought someone had thrown the FA Cup onto the pitch, then I realised it was Bradbury

Given our possession % and forward dominance…… but I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt given his inexperience and his centre combo, but he’s playing/making plays too deep for me.

Perfect example of miss and hit there, lol.

I agree on that point, tbf, but I feel the lack of carrying options has forced his hands somewhat.

Ford will be better, though, because he’s, well, excellent

Don't think Smith has been poor but he's not really got into the game in the way we'd have wanted to.

Ford now gets the chance to remind Eddie why he used to be the go to option.

Dombrandt to blindside. That’s one way to get him and Simmonds on the pitch at the same time.

That may be the stupidest thing I have ever seen on a rugby pitch.

What an idiot. I’d be tempted to simply drop him now, for the tournament. That was awful.

Ha! Great timing from him!

Agreed, hence the comment on the centre combo.

Agreed.
