Scotland aren't having any of it this half.

Awful 2nd half from England, this and the Welsh game are where Hartley as captain is better than Farrell.

Yep there’s a clear leadership deficit when things start to shift against us.

Hartley might be a better captain but he’s not worth a place in the squad as hooker.

I managed to avoid hearing both results and have just watched the games. Two cracking matches to end the 6N.

Wales were magnificent, especially given the the positional changes they made when North went off. Still not sure why they didn’t just put a replacement in the wing.

Shame that Scotland couldn’t hang in for the win.

I agree, but that's the conundrum we have right now, our only genuine leader is breaking apart and probably doesn't deserve his place in the squad any more.

They appear the lack ownership for decision making in the field. Had there been leadership on the field they would have realised they needed to shut the game down for 10/15 mins when Scotland were getting up a head of steam.
