Disciplined 2nd half - great kicking by laidlaw at key moments 

slight scare towards the end but a tidy well deserved confidence boosting win ahead of the Calcutta cup

On the positive side the referee is fecking brilliant, firm, clear and on top of everything. 

He's Welsh.

I don't like the Welsh very much.

I absolutely love the refereeing , it really is clear , direct , no nonsense & enhances the game.

 

Only the captains can speak to the ref so none of the whole team harassing him or her

 

Now, back to the game still 25-13

 

12 minutes to go

Watched the last 13 mins of this game and Scotland were under constant pressure but held out well . Good to get one over that wee smug looking Australian  England manager and apparently he asked Moyes along to the training ,Spy in the camp?

Absolutely incredible match. I’ve never seen anything like it in 40 odd years of rugby watching memory.

Nonetheless astonishing comeback

As soon as we gave away the penalty on the half way line the writing was on the wall. It was inivtable. Despite some unbelievable defence you knew that unless they made a mistake themselves it was going to happen. The real crime was we had possession with a minute and a half to go. We should have just looked after the ball, went through a few phases and then booted it out the park. Very hard to be critical though after a comeback like that. 

What would have been interesting would’ve been if England had scored out next to touch straight away with a pushover from the line out. Imagine the pressure on the kicker on what would already be a really difficult kick. Farrell was already off the park, so I guess it would’ve been on Ford. He’d have been absolutely shitin himself.

[Cornwall_Saint 2,779]

Incredible comeback. In years gone by that would have been 31-0 going on 60+, don’t know what Townsend said at HT but it clearly worked. Gutting not to get the win but that’s a comeback to be proud of.

[Kemp 5,342]

 

Great comeback but ultimately gutted we didn't hold on.

Similar feeling to the football teams 2-2 draw at Hampden, them scoring in 96th Minute

Wonder how Scottish football would look if it sacked all the bigots with 17th Century views

Warriors 50 20 Ulster

What a performance from Glasgow last night, final at Celtic Park next Saturday.

Why not play it at Murrayfield instead of a sectarian cesspit ?

Why not play it at Murrayfield instead of a sectarian cesspit ?
 

Because the SRU didn't bid for the final and Celtic did.

Lots of Leinster fans think the Scottish fans are overreacting to this, "it's only a bit of fun". They just don't get it.
