Absolutely fascinating half of rugby. Both teams having to adapt tactics on the fly and it keeps opening up then closing off the game. So hard to tell where it goes from here.

Please, keep it up, and keep scoring. Your rugby is so much more exciting that the very disciplined but very boring tactic proposed by Steve Borthwick...
As someone born in England, who has lived in Scotland most of his life, next to his anxiety-ridden Scottish wife and impressively antagonistic English mum, I can guarantee that I'm loving the game but terrified of the final whistle 🤣
I think this is a case of “every plan is good until you get punched in the face”. IMO Borths selected Smith at 15 hoping to play a different style, but Scotland’s defending was so good that we ended up playing the territory game
In heinsight having Stewart who can contest would have been better but I basically think they were hoping to play differently and in the end took the very little that Scotland gave them
