It looks like it is a defensive ploy for the wing to bomb in on defence. Brave after it cost two tries v France.

Fair play to Finn. He's come to play today. He's had a couple of terrible passes from the ruck.

That play doesn't work when you know it's coming from a mile away.

Great line by jones. Great work to secure the ruck by Seymor and a decent pressure.

Jones can't half pick a line.

He could be quite good, looks as though he`s played rugby before.

Huge defence there. Credit to Taylor for getting them organised for the England gameplan.

Great performance.

Lots of positives. Glad Kinghorn got on and defended well too.

It's good to see Scotland play well when pressure was on. Hogg playing with a maturity even when he's not firing on all cylinders.

A home grand slam every two years is a thing right?

I thought the whole team played above themselves, but Barclay and Watson were truly fucking amazing!

They were. Both dominated the England back row.

That was fucking great. A lot to work on but showed some real tenacity when England came firing back.

I can’t remember much I’ve enjoyed in rugby more than Hughes and Farrell’s faces after Jones’s second.

Right there's a lot to enjoy in that, not least Jones ability to pick a line and Barclays patience at the ruck. But I'm a greedy guy. It means nothing if we don't back it up next week with a performance.

Motm is a tough one to call those gh. Maybe McInally?

This really showed what fine margins Finn plays at - his passing and option taking was superb today (especially for Maitland''s try), but on another day (ahem, Wales) none of that would have stuck. He's flinging it so far in front of his runners that they have to be right on the money. Top day!

Or Nige not penalizing Launchbury before the intercept.
