Yup. I suspected this might happen.

Me and AD dangerously close to getting our heads kicked in celebrating every time Scotland get the ball in a Sheffield pub... but it's worth it!

Mon Scotland!

Very well done to Scotland, completely deserved that.

Well deserved win for Scotland, first win against England in ten years.

So may errors at the breakdown, did England win 1 turnover?

Well done Scotland, they’ll still finish second bottom mind.

Blah blah blah Scotland deserved to win etc. Were both the disallowed tries justified? Genuine question as I was in loud pub so it was hard to realise what the problem was. Knock on looked harsh to me, seemed to be part of the tackle.

I am a staunch England fan, but Scotland deserved that every day of the week. This might actually be of value to England, because you can only play poorly and win for so long. Jones had been brilliant for England but he needs to reassess how we're playing now.

Yes but should the tries have been disallowed?

That was the worst performance by far under Jones, it’s a shame it’s a 2 week break now until the frogs, he has to get a reaction from the entire team.

As much as I admire Owens, he made a few poor calls today, the knock on was fair enough but I fail to see what was wrong with Lawes stealing the ball at the breakdown that led to the other try?

Not at home and didn't get chance to see it but from what I've heard there were a number of big problems today that have been hinted at but it was a shock that they all hit at once.

Hopefully it will lead to a bit of a rethink on a couple of decisions (the scrum half one at the top of the list).

So basically one or both tries should have stood and then you're looking at 22-20 with a good 20 minutes to go.

Yes, but I think for England's development towards the World Cup we need to learn performing like this isn't going to do it. Losing will benefit us more than winning if we acknowledge where we're going wrong. We deserved to lose today and we lost.

Scotland deserved win after first half,  but, I fell that Nige got a major decision wrong. 
Danny Care should have been allowed to touch down then he should have gone to the TMO. I don't think Launchbury should have been penalised. That would have put England level and I'm pretty sure we'd have gone on to win.
In my defence I was a winger/full back so maybe a forward could clarify that one.
