Scotland needs to make all this pressure count. They've been on top for the whole half basically, but only got 3 points on the board. They could regret this later on.

Scotland are trying to beat themselves.

Bloody hell Scotland. What are they doing here?

Been dominant for basically the whole half, yet only find themselves 2 points up and now a man down.

Great half hour but our inability to put points on the board when we are on top is looking like it’s going to be our major downfall for the billionth time. Lots of positive aspects to that performance which are very encouragingly pleasing but at the same time, so damn fecking frustrating as always as we only have 8 points to show for it.

Starting the 2nd half with a man down and an influential one for us in Russell, I’m sure England are going to be nowhere near as poor as they were in that 1st half.

Great work at the start of the half though. Coming out of the sin bin period adding points rather than conceding.

It's weird how the sudden loss of lucidity was obvious, could it be tiredness? France have had that type of issues in the last decade.

Scotland by far the better team here. Only surprise is that we're only down by 5.

Shameful, cowardly rugby. Our obsession with playing the game without the ball is a disgraceful waste of the talent at our disposal. People (myself included) moaned about it all summer, guess what, it’s come back to bite us in the arse.
Full credit to the Scots
