This is looking a bit one sided although I'm not sure that was a try. Haven't seen TMO used once for tries yet I don't think.

This is really poor from Scotland. Fringe defence is terrible.

This is a shellacking. Japan will be targeting the Scotland game for their chance to get through.

My wife has already taken a keen interest in the world cup, as she did with the football last summer. And it hit my wallet, hard, with all the time spent in bars. I hope Scotland improve and beat Japan, and I can spend money on things other than £7 pints :)

Some sensible refereeing this half after some howlers in other matches.

It is but it's been really well reffed. My only complaint is that for Manu's first try their 11 clearly put him in a headlock, evenvthough the try was scored that should've been a yellow.

Uninspiring 1st half. Poor discipline at the breakdown again mitigating some reasonable physicality.

We have so many attacking weapons I wish Youngs would kick from the base a lot less.

Tonga will surely tire after about 50 minutes, so England should be targeting at least another 5/6 tries.

These handling errors are poor

The kicking game was all about making sure tonga get tired,  given they look fucked now i suspect it worked. What's messed us up are tge handling errors. That needs to be addressed.

Handling errors and poor discipline (yet again).

It must be a horrific game for a neutral to watch.

Countless stoppages and error strewn

Still can’t believe that a bang average player like Ben Youngs is England’s most capped scrum half

70 minutes gone, 25 points up and we still kick possession away

Job done but need to be more clinical against better teams. I have a feeling we'll raise our game when required so not too concerned.
