England were shocking, looked as though today was the first time they'd played together in a year, but that they played as badly as they did and still only went 5 points behind, speaks to just how good even a bad England team actually still are.
Got to say, as an England fan, that that's a very generous assessment of the England team! Not to take anything at all away from Scotland but, hey-ho, (and did no-one actually watch any of Scotland's recent performances under GT?!), England were absolutely shite. I hate it when England are accused of being arrogant but boy did they look like a bunch of over privileged arrogant ***** today. I think the game plan was to just rock up, soak up the pressure then surge majestically ahead in the second half..... Obviously at Twickenham we were not going to lose. (Massive facepalm.) As per usual Mr Jones took it on the chin as his 'lack of preparation' personal responsibility but privately he must be absolutely fuming. Half the squad don't deserve to play next week! (At least Robson, when he game on, was hungry.)
Anyway, let's just hope that tomorrow's match delivers us the game of the weekend.
