If someone could teach England players to turn their heads to the left or right, we might have a chance. Are they aware that you don't have to slavishly smash it up the middle.

Scotland thoroughly deserved that. They came to play rugby and won handsomely.

To be fair England were not awful they were just outgunned by a better Scotland team. Ref was very good. Not the start SB was looking for!!

Surely leave BY at the Tigers, he isn’t test quality anymore.

Actually I think that's a little unfair. Service was quicker than with JVP

That’s on BY ,going through the phases and he aimlessly box kicks for a mark and their try shortly follows! He was awful,truly abject! Was half asleep at the BD and offered nothing

Not a lot to be cheerful about from that performance.

However Chessum looks in good form... look forward to having him back

Just like watching Tigers.

1 2 Bosh and kicking too long. Regrettably especially from Youngs.

Be interesting to see how this era evolves, Cant help but think the tactics and game plan is to predictable, quality internationals will work it out, after all we have been worked out.

If Farrell plays it’s got to be at 10. Him and smith doesn’t work.

Both of Englands scrum half's have been poor, Ben Youngs is being picked on his past form, don’t think he is good enough for tigers now, he has been great for Tigers and England but time to retire. JVP not international class, Chessum had a good game but Steward not his usual class.
Looking forward to the Borthwick interview.

Nobody was taking charge in attack in that last quarter for England. Jack and Marcus were fizzing about, and taking the attack by the scruff of the neck, and then it all just disappeared.

Far too soft for all of Scotland's tries, unfortunately for Sinfield.

Two Scottish players all over our side of the ruck in that last play. Definitely an England pen, but hard to see us converting.

This is the reason tbh! We had about as many as Scotland did, despite them making literally twice as many tackles!

On saying that though... what was wrong with that Earl turnover that he got pinged for. Small margins- we'd have won if that had gone the other way!

Well played Scotland though!
