2Nd Half ON!
@ Loosehead:
Yes, handy little player.
Try England… Parks kick charged down.
TMO
Any reason NOT to award the try is the call
Try Awarded
Big mistake by the Scots
Oh well, a try in the first few moments of the second half will do nicely!!
England 10 / 6 Scotland
That looks better Scotland 6 England 10 !!
Scotland penalty… bit far out
Fark, Dan Parks misses his touch from the penalty and the Scotts are punished with a massive touchfinder

Hello Os_Botter!
@ grootblousmile:
Hello GBS
Nice run from Denton, the Scottish No 8… but in the process he’s injured in the tackle
Scotland fighting their way back again with a lot of possession going their way again
Kannie glo Scotland sukkel so teen die Ingelse nie….bly vir Eng se part want ek dink wat die interm coach gedoen het is goed….eng het nuwe bloed nodig.Hel, eng clubs het uitmuntende spelers. MJ was baie lojaal teenoor sy maaikies, maar het gefaal as coach.
Come on Bleekbene… my Bru, my Bru, my Bru!
.. and by that I don’t mean you’re my brothers…. hehehe
Eishhhh, a little, little Scottish knock as they almost break through clean.
England getting a relieving penalty, 7m from their line
This game can still go anyway.
Yo na wheee ouens….is feking koud in London vandag.
Dan Parks subbed (he was uber kak), but Cussiter too (he was very nippy)
GBS is the defense so good or are the attack a bit impotent? Scores are always low up North.
81 @ bos_otter:
Ysbeer koud?
Well this match just shows that England are crap but Scotland are even worse. Lots of passion but not enough class on both sides. So many mistakes it could end up being a bit of a lottery.
Nee GBS….is sommker bledie leeu koud hier vandag
83 @ superBul:
They play a very forwards oriented, phase-play type of game… and the backs seem to try and run over players in stead of around them.
Conditions also play a part, I think.
Lots of silly up-field kicking too.
@ grootblousmile:
-8 today in Milan. Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.
Shame….voel vir Andy Robinson, maar soos julle se…..die game kan nog elke kant toe gaan
Scotts hard on attack… then the Poms turn the ball over and hack it up field
