I missed the England game as I was at the cinema but I see they are following the United ruse of pretending to be crap before striking at the death.
Now to watch two decent teams.

Quite a lot these daysHow much territory do you need to gain before advantage is over?
So many phases but it was all in front of Ireland. Pushed them steadily backwardsInsane defence.
Yep high quality attack and defenceGreat stuff by both teams.
Little grubbers or dinks might be the way. If you can break through it go around it, under it, or over itAnd this is the problem for Scotland I was saying before the game. Much like the SA game, you can have all the possession you want, the team your'e up against are so physically dominant and defensively strong, you're not getting through unless you are really, really accurate.
It's a recurring theme, the athletic gap between teams is pretty big. In fact the ridiculous trend is that Ireland, NZ, SA and France don't even consume many players in rucks, they win ground onf the tackle and then put 11-13 players on the defensive line and two in the backfield.And this is the problem for Scotland I was saying before the game.

They'll have to try something like that, yeah. They have to be imaginative here.Little grubbers or dinks might be the way. If you can break through it go around it, under it, or over it
You’ve got the man for it with Finn.They'll have to try something like that, yeah. They have to be imaginative here.
Yeah not done a huge amount in attack since the try but it'll come.Ireland aren't playing well here bar defensively
