I'd echo flanker's comments. Also, at 31 0 he let the crowd get to him, banker 3 points and kicked to the corner instead.

How the hell do you throw away a lead like that?

I think you have to say the England team has a gaping hole in it, mainly between Farrell's ears.

For a team choc a bloc full of talent, England has no on field leaders. They should have slowed the game down and kept possession after half time but instead went kamikaze. Idiots.

Agreed postie. Once that second Scottish try went in no one got them under the posts and said ‘for fuck’s sake stick it up Dean Richard’s jumper for the next 15 mins’.

6 Nations is very competitive, virtually all games will have periods of dominance for either side. Even a well beaten side usually has a 15 minute spell of pressure sometime in the game. Wales showed what to do: keep it tight and simple, no stupid pens, defend well, weather the storm.

We played exactly the game a team 31-7 down would want us to play in order to get back in it.

We have the lowest rugby IQ of any nation, and have for years.

You mean Farrell has the lowest IQ?

Mind, Dylan Hartley never seemed to be the sharpest tool in the box either.

Farrell's TV interview after was instructive to me. He had no idea what happened. Ford.
