What was wrong with that Ellis Genge tackle for the last penalty? Looked okay to me.

It’s a shocking performance from England, and the ref isn’t much better.

Zero credit for their opponents.

The jocks are average at best, the ref has missed at least 6 clear penalties to England, and England are having a nightmare.

Scotland have thrown away points too. Still ahead though after missing that penalty and Russell sent off.

Some credit but woeful England are making them look better than they are. Simply dreadful in every aspect.

What nationality is the ref?

Can't agree that he's overly hampering England, they have only 30% possession. You can't score if you don't have the ball.

You can't have possession with that many penalties. Have they forgotten how to play to the referee? Its rubbish play.

It's not appropriate to rope the ref into this performance.

Scotland have a number of ways to attack, and frustrate, England, and they've deployed them well.

England haven't listened to the ref, haven't got any leadership on the pitch and don't have any clear game plan other than "POWER" and "KICK".

If in doubt, kick away possession.

England have been utter crap

I actually hope we don’t score a late try and get a thoroughly undeserved win.

Devoid of any spark or guile, and ample stupidity. Any quality possession has been kicked away in desperation.

Scotland haven’t even been that good, England have made them look like NZ

To be honest I think Scotland deserve the win, and a freak try late on from England would be rough justice.

I think the ref is doing fine, England’s discipline is shocking when things are going against us.

We are SAVED.

In the eyes of Jones, there is NOTHING better than the Ford/Farrell combo. Yay!

That’s one of the most embarrassing performances I can recall seeing from England.

I said it earlier in the week - we have no 'plan-B'. I don't know if Scotland are playing that much better than us - though that wouldn't be hard we have been shocking.

World beaters? Don't make me laugh. Poor ref? Not his fault we're playing like a bunch of spuds

I tend to agree, and I paid good money to watch Argentina beat Robinson's England at Twickers years ago.

Scotland have played the game (and opponents) superbly. You can't blame the ref, England are really poor.

Scotland are playing to their best.
England are playing near their worst.
The ref isn’t the difference between the teams but he’s not been great.

Daly is not adding anything to the team. Offers nothing in attack and a liability under the high ball. Missed the tackle to let in the try.

But why England don’t seem to want any possession is a mystery.

On today’s evidence France look like they’re going to do a job, Italy and England are going to be scraping over the wooden spoon. We’ll have to wait and see how the others stack up.

Expect England to tonk France by 30pts now.
