With two rounds of matches almost completed whats the view of the resident rugby cadre. Who wins the whole thing, who's last, will anyone clinch the triple crown?

You're English aren't you! I hope your hangover is the worst ever and lasts for a few more days than mine did last week...

Wooden spoon to whoever loses the Scotland v Italy match
Winners probably England hopefully they will be okay at home to Ireland the potential banana skin is France even with their loss to Ireland you just never know which French team will turn up.
Wales will try to keep it to just one loss but Ireland or France could scupper that.

Seems they thought correctly. That's a full 12 months of relentless gloating to come from Scottish Union fans.

I believe it's in the 6 Nations rules that England have to let the Scots actually win a game every 10 years or so ;)

1st half we were awesome.

2nd half and Farrell took advantage of our average defending on the back foot. England started to seem to have the advantage.

3 moments in the 2nd half that changed the potential flow of the game.

a. Danny Care's try opportunity. Was a minor infraction if any from a ruck. Great take by Care. We got lucky IMHO.

b. Horne's break. Overlap. Not used. Thought we had blown a simple opportunity again highlighting Scotland's lack of clinical finishing when the chances present themselves.

3. Farrell's opportunity post a great tackle by Lawes on Russel to knock the ball backwards. Technically correct as Lawes knocked on but another day would have been a great offensive tackle.

England then started to unravel 60 - 65 mins. Good phase rucking but no real penetration after that with misguided passes and Scotland's more organised defence.

We play a dangerous open game where Hogg almost cost us a Johnny May try in the first few mins of the second half. Came down to us putting our scores in the first half on the board and dogged defence and counter-rucking which was awesome. Could have went anyway on another day.

Exciting game though.
