Scotland will be on the attack and speed will be key. I think Socltand will win but It will be a close game again.
Scotland have nothing to prove – England have EVERYTHING to prove. Let's hope what we see are two team coming out for their first game to make a statement about their intentions … and we get decent ball-in-hand rugby with no red cards! Could be a cracker!
Could go anywhere this one. 2017 or 2018 batterings, 2019 complete madness (especially with the backline Scotland have gone for), tight games like the last three. So many variables at play, new coaches, new players, or changed line ups to emphasise speed and attack. Who even knows.
Kyle Steyn is a particularly interesting pick. As he's not like for like with Darcy, who has the speed and footwork. But he's similar to Maitland, less speed but good tactical skills, always in the right place, holds width when he needs to and so on.
The main thing is Farrell has completed his tackling school so there should be no decapitated Scottish players
Don't mind losing to Scotland if they actually kick on from it… which they never do because its all they care about.
Good afternoon 2cents my view there lot of hype around with Borthwick as new coach I think it will take time for Borthwick to create winning test team but basically it the same team Eddie would pick I think Scotland will be favorites but the English pack can get the better of Scottish forwards then they are in with a chance English back row needs to close down Finn Russell and stop Scottish Three quarters running riot at Twickenham England need a fast start get fan's behind them England have been down for few seasons so only way is up 🏉🌹🏴🧐🏴
that draw was absolutely insane – still potentially my favourite game of rugby I have watched, probably because I was at a pub with great atmosphere
Still don't get how princess Anne sits on 1 side and her nephew the other.
I'll be getting a VPN for RWC
We had better stop the Scots getting the ball because Scotland are better in every position from 9-15
I think Borthwick is a real stats kind of guy, he's going to play guys that are dominating the premiership charts.
The Bok Props will dominate the scrums for Scotland and make the crucial difference. Scotland by 5.
Scotland by 30
Definitely recommend the Scottish rugby 6N camp videos, been a lot more revealing than usual and they seem to have stepped up the value some.
I think England will come out in a positive manner due to the coaching change, whether they can maintain that and how much they’ll improve as the tournament goes on is another question entirely
I have a gut feel that the Bagpipes are going to pull this one off away from home. But, I suppose, it will all depend on how much blood the lads will have in their whisky streams! 😂 Been waiting too long now for the 6 Nations to start so I'm really looking forward to this one. May the best team win, as long as it's not The Rose! 😂 Should be a cracker! Enjoy chaps and cheers from Safferland.
I think England will win this one by less that a score.
I wouldn't start Huw Jones, instead of Harris. England like to come out of the blocks really fast. Jones would be better of the bench when gaps start to appear in the English defensive line.
I'll be chearing Scotland, but I think England will take this one.
Scotland 🏴 for the win
This is the best site for analysis. Spread the Gospel 🏉
Scotland by 10
I can’t see England losing this one. Sorry Scotland 🏴
SA well represented in this Scotland squad. No less than 4 SAFFA’s
If I was betting, I'd be awfully tempted to take Scotland +10. My guess is England will win, though it will be close, but I'm pulling for Scotland all the way. Scots will miss D. Graham on wing. How is Farrell doing with defense at 12? Should the Scots run at him?
Ali has not been starting for Glasgow it’s not to surprising
Go Scotland
Come on SA U-20…..er,I mean Scotland😂😂😂
I think I read that Scotland have a better record against England in the last 5 years than Ireland, Wales, and France and are tied with NZ.
This game is always a big event. Looking forward to it.
As a French: Go Scotland ! They can make it (even though I reckon that without Darcy Graham it will be much more difficult…) !
Think the scots will take this especially as its Borthwicks first game- can take a while for players to get used to a different system especially if Russel is on song with that Scot backline. however if England win, its definitely going to be off high 'screw this' attitude that can happen (Rassies first game v Eng 2018, Rennies first game v ABs 2020 + Scotlands recent form over the pommies can serve as inspiration ) which probably will go throughout the year. In short if Scotland win, England’s chances at least with the 6 nations are screwed however if England win then who knows whats going to happen especially with a favourable England draw at the WC
Brits seem to have a faster, play-making squad than under Eddie … expect Scots pack to boss this tight match …
shame darcy graham isnt in the squad, hope he appears before then end of the tournament. i still think the front row for england is lacking. and i agree tuipolotu has been in great form.
If tomorrow Twickers has returned to the cauldron it used to be, before the tickets became so pricey that only the prawn sandwich brigade, corporate, floater-fans took residence, then it will be a great chance for England to start the tournament with a win, for a change. Hope so. Show any weakness and Scotland will punish us because we all know the Scots find another gear playing England.
I was really hoping we'd seen the last of the 2 fly-halves experiment, but hey ho. OHC getting a start is exciting and long overdue. Malins at 14 is a worry- not sure how well he'll handle van der Merwe. Overall, reasonably happy with the selections but the midfield is a concern.
Just watched that Kevin Sinfield program on bbc2 awsome and pumped for tomorrow 🌹🌹🌹
Sorry to hear Stern Vern , had to leave his beloved Fijians , hope he gets back soon , fingers crossed Dancing Darcy will be back soon throwing his 46.7 Kg into the fray again and again a hope maw Graham never finds oot whit her wean does for a living or there will be hell to pay
It is really great to have a "mano a mano" Smith vs Russel…. This match can really go mad!
go Scotland! Worth an outside bet for 6 nations I reckon. Also realise how much I miss the live streams with Gazza!
Great Preview TC, how you can remember all of the players I don't know. I'm so looking forward to tomorrow games. If Ireland lose, I'll be so depressed but… here's hoping that we can repeat our U20s win today.
If England keep the pens to a minimum we'll win…if not we'll lose… it's that simple…our discipline is off the charts bad and has been for a long time
Going to be an intresting
game this one
Should be a good game, hopefully Scotland can make it competitive
I can’t wait to see another Huw Jones vs England encounter. That try down the middle 4 years back 🔥
Mailings ability to come off the wing.
Ie he’s not a winger
that thumbnail is perfect considering the final result
Was great watching down south in a pub! Usual British gobby Estuary English mockney cockney wankers, very loud! Suddenly silenced with all the excuses. VDM’s try? Hilarious and brilliant! Oh dear, Oh Dear! 😅
And they have to play Ireland and France yet? 😅😅
A Shilacking awaits!
Just watched it.
Dammit!
England need to reset their defence quicker and f++up Russell quicker.
However –
Interesting stuff compared to the Eddie Jones era and (unsurprisingly) the pack seems better at the set piece (AT LAST!!) but the defence still needs a LOT of work.
Still not convinced by Smith. Not big enough to stick the tackles. Talented with the boot and going forward …. BUT..
We English HATE losing to the bloody Scotch…
Gutted mate.
The thumbnail aged very well 🤣
