That second try had absolutely nothing to do with him.
The desperation of some posters to find fault with him is astounding.

Re: The Scotland V Their New Bogey Team Match Thread

Plenty of tickets still on general sale despite the SRU claiming the game sold out months ago. They have been up since yesterday without being taken. They'll probably shift them all by kickoff but charging £150 for shite seats behind the goals it seems the SRU have found the limit of what they can ...

Both teams are making too many mistakes in the decision zone, it will come down to the one that finally manages to get two consecutive tries or 3 consecutive penalties I think.

It's a proper Owen Farrell tackle - one where the arms are notionally out to the side so it isn't clearly a tucked arm and shoulder, but in reality it is one where the player is looking to barge with the shoulder.
