Sorry Cd but that is utterly pathetic defending for Kruis to score.

[paul_e]

Haskell is showing just how poor he is at securing the ball here, he is an even worse 7 than Robshaw.  In the backs Farrell is providing nothing and Care is a poor scrum half as well.

Poor last 15 minutes there we're being outplayed at the breakdown.

[DaveD]

That was a poor quality half from both sides

[paul_e]

yep, disappointing performance so far, we're too slow at the breakdown, too often the 2nd man to get there is hanging back rather than making sure we win it clean.

[PaulWinch again]

Far too slow to breakdown.

[PaulWinch again]

Lovely try there.

[PaulWinch again]

Too slow there.

[PaulWinch again]

Mako has had a really positive impact.

[paul_e]

Mike Brown kicks it out on the full under no pressure, exactly why I don't think he's good enough, he just goes braindead at times.

[PaulWinch again]

Second half was much better, they were sharper and more alert. Need a lot of work, but defence showed a lot of development.

[Jon Crofts]

Great start today then we slowly but surely got dragged down to Scotland's real level before waking up and really dominating the set pieces. 

I see Murrayfield was packed again, with kids, hence the booing of penalties and conversions, if your Union needs to give tickets away then at least tell the kids to keep quiet.

[PaulWinch again]

Agree like you said we started well, then tailed off and then got control again. Major positives for me were Billy, Mako and the defence as a team. The negative side was the breakdown and linked to that indiscipline. But overall a win away at a developing Scotland side was pleasing. Jones just needs to add those younger players and start integrating them.

What's wrong with booing set pieces?It's not snooker.

[Jon Crofts]

Respect.  You know like all the big digital signs say all around the stadium Respect The Kicker whenever there's a penalty or conversion attempt.
