| 81' | Man of the Match Beattie says "it is slightly disappointing not to win the game, it was a bit scrappy". Right on both counts. Scotland had the lion's share of possession, territory and attacking play but could not manufacture the win. It was not a classic and short on really entertaining rugby. it was interesting and was competitive. However both sides failed to avoid the outcomes they didn't want. Scotland will not have shaken the criticism that they are unable to finish off games and get over the line. England will have done nothing to dismiss the idea that they are short on direction and short on effective running. Jeremy Guscott reckons that Foden showed them the way when he came on: "He was the energy and he was the spark". It certainly throws into relief the staid nature of the England team and even Johnson might not be able to resist the need to make changes now. Whether France next week is the place to try it is a debate in itself. Scotland go to Dublin next week and, despite a couple of good performances, will have to find a new level of killer instinct to stand a chance of avoiding the wooden spoon. Join us next week for those games, although tomorrow we have the little matter of France's continued quest for the grand slam as they host Italy. We'll be here for all of those games, but for now thanks from me, Jamie Allaway, for following this game. |
