That WAS fkn scary for a second or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Also I think David Cherry is the 1st player to get a full cap(Sevens player Josh Henderson spent time with them ) to play for Stade Niçois as part of the Performance Pathway partnership 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deserved win. We played them off the park. What a shift the whole team put in. Sorta makes up for not winning 2 years ago. Undefeated at Twickenham since 2019. Sounds OK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 You know, Russell had a few flaky moments today, and a few fantastic moments as well, but what never gets mentioned is how far into Farrell's head he is. Another game where is seemed like Russell's very presence was enough to throw Farrell massively off his game. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 The thing I find really deeply satisfying about that is that it wasn't a smash and grab, it was a solid, convincing win by a team than was superior in every aspect except the scrum (where it was equal), and who had a better record in the head-to-head in the past three years. Over a four-year cycle it's now: 2018 Scotland 25-13 England 2019 England 38-38 Scotland 2020 Scotland 6-13 England 2021 England 6-11 Scotland Points: Scotland +10 Tries: Scotland 10-7 England Match points: Scotland 12-8 England 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Looking about online the England fans aren't happy we had more Exeter double winning players in the starting 15 than they did. There will be a big clamour to bring in the Simmonds brothers. I can see their championship being a disaster because Jones is not going to want to move away from kick first. And speaking of kicking I was impressed with Steele when he came on. Wee George Horne should be out practicing box kicks every chance he gets if he wants a serious international career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think credit is also due to all the English pundits and the commentators who called it honestly and without sounding patronising. Definitely, been plenty games we've dominated or competed for 50-60 minutes that we've still managed to lose, first I can remember the team being right on it for the full 80. Feared the worst starting the second half a man down but we controlled the game superbly well. They were on it for the full 80 in Wales. That's now four wins on the spin in the Six Nations including France at home and Wales and England away. They said the next milestone was winning big away games. Next will be winning them with crowds. Wales, Ireland and Italy at home... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, John Barclay was right when he called it a non-test. I have never been in weather like that other than up a mountain, we were drookit to the skin within 5 minutes of leaving the ground. We're obviously not better than the champions and World Cup runners-up, but I wonder if England find us particularly tough because you do not want to be hoofing kicks towards that back three. Aye, if their Saracens players were rusty, how do they explain Sean Maitland today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid bomb, great knock down, strong carry from Fagerson, good hands and Duhan beats 3 men to score When I was watching it I thought Turner made the pass too early and gave van der Merwe too much work to do. I was wrong. Great finishing from him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, me too, I actually meant to bring that up to you as I remember you mentioning before you thought Horne was out due to his box kicking. Steele was excellent when he came on, and like you say, his box kicking really made a difference. I actually thought he played better than Price to be totally honest, though it was s different game by the time he was on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
