The Borthwick era's going to get better from here, isn't it?

You've seen how he coached Leicester to a title?

Given the time he's had with them, and the obvious issues to be addressed, it's way too early to expect a sea change in tactics or accuracy. There's already evidence of a faster pace to the game ("LQB") although execution is lacking. Scotland playing with a lot of confidence, as they should.

Well so far it looks like the Eddie Jones era but without the flair.

Is there a choice of directions from here? Not sure there is, which is sort of positive if you squint hard enough.

[Gweeds]

Discipline still an issue. Giving away too many penalties again.

That defending though. It’s not even a case of coaching. This is basic stuff.

[Rockettvr]

So much better!!

[DodgyGeezer]

nicely done there.

Very. Patient, accurate, fast. And the defence wasn’t asleep.

[Smollet]

Give the tee to Smith. Fazlet is taking ages and misses. The last one was a sitter.

[Oliver80]

Missed tackles. Jesus wept.

[Stella Tortoise]

Scotland are playing very watchable rugby.

[Rockettvr]

That’s 2 very soft tries
And a lost throw

[Leithen]

Both teams are exposing poor defences.

[Jordie Barretts sock]

Smith greedy there.

[Rockettvr]

Both teams playing very loose - bloody exciting though

[Gweeds]

Some really poor tackling again from England.

[Sport_Turismo_GTS]

Poor tackling and poor kicking when in the red zone?

[Get Karter]

Passing rugby is great to see again. Enjoyable for players and spectators alike. Best Calcutta Cup rugby I’ve watched for years.

[Gweeds]

England. Your fking tackling is an embarrassment.

[Jordie Barretts sock]

These Southern Hemisphere Scots are a bit good aren't they?

[DodgyGeezer]

well that's that then there are some good glimpses in attack (possibly Nick Evans' influence?) but Sinfield must be tearing his hair out, there have been some pretty soft tries (though Scotland have still had to have the wherewithal to take the opportunities)


ETA I'm not sure what Youngs brings these days
