Not bad quality

[hookender]

Pretty good first half . Will be interesting to see how England deal with wind second half

[Trevs Big Tackle]

Charlie just subbed on after 50 minutes. Playing fullback.

Good play. But...England seem especially niggly and unnecessarily so. Ref gave 10m once, but easily could again. And in the red zone, England could have had earlier and more yellows.....Systematic cheating.

I know you get away with what you can - but the ref is firm on the ruck but lax on systematic offside, in at the side and in the first half a deeply cynical late dive on the Scotland try scorer.....

But Scotland systematically not rolling away and preventing the clear out... IMO
very scrappy game, with some very nice bits. England could have scored 60 or more if they had been a bit less frantic!

Anyone hear mention of Charlie apart from when he came on?

Anyone hear mention of Charlie apart from when he came on?

Was trying to work out if he was the back sacrificed to bring on hooker when yellow card was in force. Decent tackle in last minute. Guess we would have more of him if had replaced fly half rather than full back( was surprised as it looked as if Fin Smith was suffering).

[Rossm]

What was the red card for?

[Trevs Big Tackle]

What was the red card for?

Very poor high tackle head-on-head. Nothing malicious just really bad technique.

[baldpaul101]

some good bits from both teams, all a bit frantic (as age grade rugby can be!)

Did see Atkinson do much, but England defended (very well!) for big chunks of the second half, especially when down to 13 men so not much for him to do in attack.

[RogerE]

He did make one last ditch tackle, that wouldn't have prevented a try, other than it was from a forward pass
