What an incredibly lacklustre performance from England.

There was a moment in the first half (line outs at the Scottish try line) where we looked like an effort was being made. Other than that it was a dismal performance and even Jonny's magic boot had lost its sheen.

Seriously hope we can put together a better performance against Ireland next week.

Very pleased for Wales my adopted team but England looked like they'd never played in the rain before, they might as well not have bothered showing up :/

*is pleased* even though i didn't watch today match i'm glad we played well, as i come from a rugby family (cousin played and now coaches the Scotland 21s) Scotland get a lot of practice in the rain.

Was qutie amusing to watch the England Scotland game in the Shaftesbury Ave Walkabout. 300 Aussies hurling abuse at the english

fortunately I have a sense of humour, and hid in a corner until sidling out at full time.

What a dull match

I didn't watch yesterdays match (stupid pool hall played MOTD in dodgy stereo instead) but I'm pleased with the result rather than the manner of victory (I'd generally prefer to watch an open game with a few tries rather than an exchange of penalties), from all I've read, heard and seen since it seems that Scotland played to the conditions a lot better and had more direction than England. Perhaps the nicest surprise is that Nathan Hines managed not to get himself sent off and had a good game overall.

Congratulations to Wales on the Triple Crown, definitely the best of the Home Nations this year and good luck for the Grand Slam as well.

Couldn't you admit to cross-dressing or something? Just pick something that carries less of a social stigma.

Should be a good Saturday. I'm hoping to be in Swansea in a pub somewhere watching it. Been wanting to the past few weeks with workmates but haven't been able to. Can't believe what good form they've had this year.
