    Owen Farrell has been very poor. For all the talk about being the best player in the world, he misses too many tackles for a 12 and isn't good enough running a backline at 10. I thought Sexton was the one running the show for the Lions and this tournament is doing nothing to dissuade me of that. Ford-Farrell can be targeted by opposition teams and I think it will be from now on.

    Yes but not seeding for the next WC

    Won't change England's position, just their ranking points. Scotland stand to jump two places out of a win with the current scores though...

    Looks like that’s it. Pity. Was hoping for a winner takes all grand slam playoff on paddy’s day. Ireland to win by a drop goal.

    This is a painfully slow clock, even as a neutral.

    Scotland is going to be such a tough opponent in two weeks. Our defence has been leaky this championship and that Scotland back division is absolutely lethal.

    I'm not at all. England are a shambles.

    Constantly tackling high too for no apparent reason...

    Makes the Scotland game more interesting next game though. They get a win here they are in the race for the championship.

    The more I see of McInally the more I’m impressed, to be converted from a flanker to hooker and get to this level is incredible given there’s so many facets to the game.

    What a turnover there by him 3m out from his own line. Superb game by the hooker

    Fantastic result. No BP for either, 0 points for England. Eddie Jones gonna really struggle to talk shít again for a while, changes the dynamic for him altogether.

    The celebrations from the Scots are something else at Murrayfield. Just a bit more time now.
