I'm really not sure what Vunipola is bringing to the table here!

Nah they had the early second half to take the game but blew it. D vdM reminds me of Lomu when I was a teenager and just like then - they couldnt seem to tackle the man and they are supposed to be pro's.

Yeah, know what you mean. Saw Lomu play 7's a few times in hong kong, completely unplayable.Nah they had the early second half to take the game but blew it. D vdM reminds me of Lomu when I was a teenager and just like then - they couldnt seem to tackle the man and they are supposed to be pro's.
Anyhow, well played Scotland, a deserved win. Borthwick needs to have a think.

Yep! A fantastic win!! I'm so happy for them and they thoroughly deserved it too!WOW! Great game first off. Glad to see Scotland win, but lets hope they play as good against Wales next week. Dont want a repeat of last year!
England still played well though and it was a great game to watch.
Excited already for next week now and hopefully they will play similar!!

Exciting game, frustrating result. But despite that, England played some decent Rugby at pace - which was great to watch after how so many Eddie Jones era games panned out. Scotland looked very dangerous on the attack, VdM is just a beast. Feel like England lost their way once Ben Youngs came on, we lost all pace off of any ruck ball and he gave the ball away a few times box kicking far too long in attacking positions. Hopefully the team can settle in to the new era under Borthwick and get some good results against the other teams.
Ireland were stomping Wales, but the second half ended up being pretty even, which is good for the sake of the tournament. Hopefully Italy can make France work for their inevitable victory tomorrow.

England's defence remains quite narrow, quite a few instances yesterday and over the last few years where teams have just been able to pass around them and make very good yards.
Entertaining match anyway and the best team won. Even the Ireland Wales game was entertaining it's usually a total snorefest.

It was a superb game for both sides in all honesty!
I'm still ecstatically happy for Scotland though and proud as anything to be Scottish! Lol!

Absolutely, a fan neutral or supporter would have enjoyed either game yesterday which I did. The thing like previous years not to put a dampener on the Scots is no point playing out of your skin against the Auld enemy then have tough times beating everyone else.

Incredible game yesterday, Scotland seem to have found some confidence after a decent Autumn Series last year - need to take the same level into the Wales game at home next weekend though, win that and it could be a great year.
Feel like that the Twickenham hoo-doo finally over - didn't really count the 2021 win with no crowd myself but that was something yesterday.

I didn’t really count the last 2 years to be honest but seems like it was a genuine build up now to some superb rugby by Scotland.
I can't wait to see if they can carry on winning as that would be amazing but definitely not going to count chickens before they hatch as Scotland have a lot to prove!
I'm used to being negative about them though! Lol!

Have to admit that I really don't like England's new shirt!
Doesn't look very good with those weird lines at the bottom.

Fair play Italy, didn't get the win but really made France work for it. Definitely think Italy could get some wins this 6 nation if they continue to play like that, especially against England and Wales.
Man of Honour
Thing about Italy is that they seem to play the same Home or Away so if they're playing well I wouldn't rule out a win away for them.
Frankly as a Scot I fear it'll be us!!!
I do think Italy have already done enough over the 2022 Six Nations, Last Autumn's games and today to shut up most of the debate about their place in the tournament for a while.
