The commentators in the ITA v SCO match were banging on about the bonus point from the 13th minute. Look how that ended.

Me personally I believe the correct decision was made. It doesn’t happen often but refs can sometimes call a red zone penalty advantage over after a number of phases and knowing our luck we would’ve given away a turnover penalty and lost after advantage over was called. Correct decision for me 100%,but I see the point being made
The "yeah great, you beat Ireland but where's the TBP you losers?" attitude from the English media and public is proof that there's really nothing an England team can do to make everyone happy.
I just think the 'revert to kick' when a penalty advantage is called in the red zone shows a loack of positivity and confidence. As well as being partially responsible for a poor points return vs red zone visits.
It is the thing that had me screaming at the tv the most yesterday!
