Billy V - not back to his best but very difficult as a one out carrier option. Taking the ball standing still and then getting hit on the line does not make for dynamic carries. Farrell is not the answer at 10 but Ford at 10 and Farrell at 12 is also not the answer, especially with no carriers fixin...

Did not like seeing the massive celebrations after that kind of win. Very small time. That was a very poor show. Malins made a difference - only strike runner we had in the backs. Marler was very solid when he came on, very competent and thats what was needed. Itoje excellent again, Launchbury was v...

Itoje has been phenomenal all series. Another Motm performance today.

5 years of EJ, 7 weeks together as a team, well rested, French D team and this is the gameplan, this is the evolution of England.

f**king shambles.

marcopolio

The basics of England today have been appalling. One out twice and kick is not a gameplan. Catch, draw and pass is impossible for this team. Not a single strike runner in the backs to fix the defence. No shifts of carrier in the forwards to fix the defence. The kicking game is a disgrace - truly, tr...

marcopolio

All in all, pretty crap. Very very poor kicking display, decent defensive display. Real lack of ball carriers creating space, no dynamic player in the backs causes real issues. Really noticeable lack of options for Youngs, generally just one runner. Whenever point of attack was moved, England made r...

Another 60m loss from Ford's shit kicking. It's a f**king nonsense

Yep. Really, really poor

marcopolio

fudge me, Ford's f**king kicking.

Every game he plays his kicking from hand is f**king wank. It's so frustrating to watch

marcopolio

We're now giving away some of the dumbest penalties every seen. Same as last week, have the control but not enough points and starting to make poor decisions.

marcopolio

That clear out on Daly looked bad. Diving in to a defenceless player.

marcopolio

Well, quick ball and shift the point of attack. Easy space.

marcopolio

Ford's kicking kills us every time he plays. To short, inaccurate, players stopping rather than attacking onto the ball.

Or attack is so limited. No offloads, no sunny runners, one out carries twice and then a shit up and under.

Really poor.

marcopolio

Outside of the defence (which has been exceptional in every area) and a worldie from May, it's been disappointing from England. Lack of fluidity, lack of ball retention, lack of territorial control. Some poor decision making in offloads. To memory, zero line breaks... Lots of questions to be answered.

marcopolio

The literal focus of my argument was that Courtney should have received a red. I don't know how else I can make that clearer. What other people did or didn't do does not change that end result. If someone else deserved a red card that doesn't invalidate the fact that so does Courtney. I don't know ...

marcopolio

Two assists for O'Keefe.

Shit end to a shit game ruined by the ref and some boring shithousery by the awful Welsh.

Nothing to enjoy in that game really.

marcopolio

What a f**king shocker this ref is. Full advantage and then still comes back

marcopolio

If that's a card then Wales have avoided two reds. Love that this one goes to the TV but Parkes diving headbutt at full head height is ignored.

That is a f**king outrageous decision.

Wales have been dreadful plum all game.

marcopolio

Ford poor again. EJ consistently refusing to pick players in their correct position.

Not a good second half at all. Dominant in the majority of play but failure to get points.

Ireland were horrible. That should have been a much bigger win.

Stone wrote:ffs, what do the English have to do to get a yellow card. Constant infringements in their half and not even a warning.

Peyper has supported Ireland throughout the game. TMO has supported Ireland.

Ireland have been cheating throughout at the breakdown.

marcopolio

Well, that's a clear try.

marcopolio

The stupidest England performance for a long time. The decision making throughout was appalling.

Aside from the obvious poor performances, Sinckler was a disgrace.

marcopolio

Appalling performance. Everyone dreadful and playing to their worst points. On top of that Nige his random worse.

A total shitshow.

And he still hasn't been as bad as Ford. The guy is a liability whenever pressure is on.

Why did he hates Series? I'm not sure what difference it would make to the result but he really has been one sided today.

marcopolio

Ffs, that cover defence from Manu and may....

marcopolio

Why is Poite coaching players on the rules? If a player breaks the rules at the lineout just give a pen.

His pen advantages are weird as well.

Good game. Scotland are going to rue the missed chances, the unforced errors though.

marcopolio

Youngs kicking game was superb today. Actually liked like a leader as well.

Wilson and curry were phenomenal in sing a slow ball platform for England to rush defence out. Great defensive display.

marcopolio

Should have been a pen try. Dragged down, for a pen 1 yard short...

Good score anyway

marcopolio

Owens was poor, but let's be real. Scotland's backrow won that game and deserved to win it. As an England fan, I thought Scotland were fantastic. High risk first half and dogged the second. Russell was excellent, the thinking was clear. Shame they didn't do it against Wales, but they were well wort...

marcopolio

Well, that was horrendous from England. Poor all round, and massively hampered by a woeful refereeing performance.

Yep, ugly all round.

marcopolio

So that's not advantage over?

Owens is a f**king disaster today.

marcopolio

Only gives a pen after the interception?

What the actual fudge.

marcopolio

Owens is letting Scotland get away with murder at the breakdown

marcopolio

england need to adapt to the referee and start going straight off their feet to steal the ball That's not what's happening, though - the Scots are on their feet when they are winning these. They are crouching to get low over the ball, but they aren't supporting their weight with their hands. they a...

marcopolio

That was embarrassing. Genuinely embarrassing. Ford had a truly horrible half and we've lost every breakdown.

A huge inability to support the carrier, terrible clear out work and a woeful kicking game.

Combine that with some really horrible tackling and inability to pass....

fudge me.

marcopolio

Mullen getting destroyed at scrum time

marcopolio

Can we take Solomona back off please?

marcopolio

Well that was sensational by Slade

marcopolio

Should have made a lot more of that. Great break and then poor support
