When Eddie Jones said he wanted England to play like Liverpool, I didn't know he meant Liverpool 2010.

Woeful from England. Curry is not an 8 and Lawes is not a 6.

Right in one.

Re: lineouts - what happened to penalising teams for ‘not in straight’?

The Eddie Jones mentality in full view here; ‘you may dish it out, but you mustn’t take it’.

OIn the one hand, I'm way more worried abotu our game against France now, had that as our best to chance to win a game apart from Italy.

On the other hand I now feel way more confident about next weekend.

Are we playing you next weekend? There should be a backlash from at least one side hopefully!

Meh. Tournament’s over. All that’s left is to try and beat Wales and Ireland to let France win it. Thankfully I’ll be too busy celebrating the Mighty Reds to care too much for this year’s edition.

Scotland won one in 1990...that omen has gone now!

If it guarantees another Champions League I’ll cheer you all the way.

Actually, you win a Slam in 2008 (?) and we got knocked out by Chelsea so I’m not falling for that again.

I would rather share a tent with Purple Aki.

That said , very poor by England and Jones. Weak upfront, especially in the first half. No platform puts Curry under pressure (unsurprisingly for an inexperienced no

, slow at the breakdown( as is always the case when Lawes plays 6), no drive at the mauls. Youngs dreadful and Farrell indecisive under pressure. Losing Manu compounded the lack of ball carrying power. Not sure Furbanks is international quality either

Replacing Ewels, Youngs and George should have been done at HT by Jones, who spouted absolute shit in the build up.

Only real positive was Itoje and LCD when he arrived, Ludlam was OK.

Also, anyone would think England was a desert, the amount of times O'Connell mentioned the rain.

Russell left out agan for the England game. Think he will have to make the first move if he wants to play again under Townsend.

Not even on the bench is he?

Weather forecast is a bit wild for later on the Saturday night but shouldn't be too bad during the game.

No not in the squad at all. By the sounds of it he won't be involved at all until he apologises to his teammates.

Forecast getting worse for Saturday's match in Edinburgh, expect both sides to be booting it up in the air quite a bit.

Not sure whether to take my big coat or my big, big coat.

Youngs dropped to the bench, Curry still at no. 8

It's Murrayfield, from personal experience, always go with the latter.

Here's the Scotland team, only one change in the XV, Bradbury coming in for Haining. On paper probably our best back row, though maybe Blade Thomson would be ahead of Bradbury if fit. On your first point, Maitland and Hogg are usually excellent under the high ball, though Kinghorn had an off day in that regard against Ireland but is usually OK.
