First blood to Scotland....

[Philtaz]

Paterson kicks a pen and the Jocks take the lead. C'mon Scotland!

[bibblebub]

we're letting the minnows have a few moments of hope

[Philtaz]

I daresay the French thought the same against the Tongans bibblebub......

[Philtaz]

Pressure now building on England with that Parks kick!

[albaqwerty]

shurrup I'm watching it from behind the couch. :D

[Philtaz]

Could be another horror show alba, remember Ireland in the 6 nations?

Wilko not got one of his favoured balls for that kick........

[Philtaz]

Wilko still looking for his kicking boots......

[albaqwerty]

Hope he doesn't find them

I don't follow rugby but I love watching it. It's a real sport, none of any wishy-washy stuff.

[Philtaz]

Wilko FINALLY nails one ut Scotland still got their tails up and lead 6-3.

[Philtaz]

Parks drop goal and Scotland go into the dressing rooms 9-3 in front.

I wouldn't want to be in a white shirt when Johnno gets the hair dryer out!

[Philtaz]

England are trying too hard, mistakes creeping in. No tempo, urgency or apparent leadership on the pitch at the moment.

The next 20 is huge for England if they don't make a mark on the game.

[Philtaz]

England are really feeling the pressure now and it's mounting. Scotland are smelling blood.....

[Philtaz]

Scotland get the 8 point lead they require with a Paterson pen! It's all up for grabs now, who will hold their nerve?

[boxtops]

I'm waiting for OH to come in from work, to see how his side are doing!

[Philtaz]

Wilko straight back with a drop goal so Scotland pegged back again.

Just over 20 to go, it's gonna be fraught!

[Philtaz]

Scotland's turn for the lineout to fail and Wilko slots the resultant pen. The Scots lead cut to 3 again.

Pressure really building for the last 15 now, Scotland need a touch of magic from somewhere....

[bibblebub]

england are about to surge to the line for a try

[Philtaz]

Scotland almost had that bit of magic! If it had been a back instead of Gray chasing that kick they could have been in.

It's getting tense......

[Philtaz]

Wilko misses another pen, lead still 3. Last 10, Scotland need a try without conversion to take the game.

C'mon the Jocks!

[Philtaz]

Chris Cusiter on for Scotland. As the late Bill Mclaren would say, he's more cunning than a bag of weasels. Hope he can give the Scots the guile they'll need to take this game....
