Ireland can fire on as many cylinders as they like next week, England will win.
Scotland really did fancy their chances but unfortunately for them they ran into England when we played brilliantly. Unhappy with the ease of their 3 tries but that's a minor blip on a day where we were on another level.
England had started slow in the other games but a combination of the early yellow, Scotland forgetting how to tackle and the return of JJ mad this a completely different game to the others
They could have lined him up all game, but, JJ's lines were superb and the dummy runners and passing from both George and Farrell held up the defence brilliantly

You'd normally angle him out and let the back row drifting across cover the inside line but they had no back row cover so the defenders had to try to read his line and he's too good for for that if he's hitti ng the ball at full pace on the gainline.
