That was impressive from England. The southern hemisphere sides won’t be quaking in their boots just yet, but Eddie Jones and co made no secrets about just focusing on the win today. The big difference between this performance and those of years gone by was the lack of idiotic errors – they brought the kind of efficient professionalism you expect from a Jones team. Credit has to go to Hartley for setting an excellent example of that too, while there was some huge performances from Billy Vunipola, George Kruis and Mako Vunipola when he came off the bench. George Ford and Mike Brown were flaky in the backs, but Jack Nowell looked threatening every time he got the ball.
Scotland played well in fits and spurts, but were undone by a lack of composure once again. That’s not a new problem and Vern Cotter needs to find a way to eradicate it sharpish.
Anyway, that’s all from me for the day. Cheers for all the tweets and emails – sorry I couldn’t use them all. Join me again tomorrow for Ireland v Wales. Bye!
