I don't care. Egg chasing can do one.

Most years a game England would expect to win, but no idea on this one. We had an embarrassing WC and the Scots had a great one. Murrayfield is a very hard place for England to win.

Dont really understand rugby but why do England give away so many penalties? That cost us in the World Cup.

This has been a constant issue. We concede far too many times in our half and give 3 points away most times.
Bit like Elvis didn't know the offside rule.

I just notice that our opponents seem to get many more kicks at the goal than we do, not sure how they get them other than us giving them penalties.

We do seem to have more than our fair share of thick forwards at the moment

That was a well worked try, the Southern Hemisphere coaching working already

But our new kicking coach Johnnie Wilkinson not having much joy or influence. It must be said a couple of long and what appeared to be difficult kicks.

Why do the backs kick the ball deep into the opposing half knowing that only the opposing players can possible collect it and thus give away possession.
