Can only assume England were worried that they might become too popular so appointed a cunt like Hartley to remind everyone that they're one of the most detestable sports teams around.
I definitely think France could score some points in the last 10 minutes, but it's whether or not that's going to matter.
Going to be one of those moments where Italy try and get a penalty from the scrum and end up giving one away.
That was poor from Italy. Set themselves up and then give it to the No.8 to drop the goal? Great player Parisse is but wtf?
He's scored one before. But yeah strange decision. Should have worked it for a few more phases first to get more central.
Too much kicking it straight down Hogg's throat in that half really. We've got the potential to have a decent kick-chase, but I'd rather we targeted the wingers than Hogg.
Pleased at how we've come back after the start England had. Hopefully Laidlaw takes the time to wash the butter off his hands.
Compared to last years' six nations when there was a genuine air of excitement around England, I can't believe what little desire I have to watch this England team. Struggling to beat Scotland and Hartley captain does absolutely nothing to remedy this.
Pot calling the kettle black, but is there anyone in Scotland's team who was actually born in Scotland?
Yeah, for what's essentially the same team we seem to have lost all the enterprising attacking play and gone back to being very pragmatic.
