    Scoreline completely flattered England. Scotland totally bossed the game and made England look very ordinary. The conversion and penalty misses were the only negatives, they could have proved very costly, but in truth, England didn't get close to going over second half. It was a first class performance from Scotland.

    Like who? Sinckler and Mako Vunipola?

    They aren’t key considering their replacements are fantastic too.

    Also we had guys winning their first caps ffs.

    Monumental.

    No they aren’t favourites, the French will be. We will beat them too.

    Was all about scotland doing the basics well, ball in hand they are in the top three in the world but all too often they are let down making simple errors, they cut that out today(stats proved that). Brilliant win and deserved to have a higher score, russell can be one of the best players in rugby at times but can also be a liability. Nice touch from the captain letting the 1st caps lift the trophy.

    That is a very bold claim considering we’ve not won in Paris in over 20 years. The French have unbelievable talent and depth. They’ll also run with the ball and have, in Dupont, the most naturally gifted player of his generation.

    1 trophy down now for Six nations trophy then hope Scotland football team do the same, beat England and win Euros then Scotland gains independence. What a year 2021 would be if that happens. COME ON SCOTLAND.

    I think you will win against the Welsh if you play anything like last weekend. They were barely able to beat us playing at home with a man advantage for most of the game.

    Big weekend starting today. England will thump Italy - that’s beyond doubt - but the other two games could be absolute belters.

    Scotland will be in the unusual position of being firm favourites, a tag that they traditionally struggle to justify at times. They are missing three players from the game against England, all of importance, but have reasonable cover so shouldn’t be considered depleted.

    For Wales, there is something approaching an injury crisis. Whilst able to welcome back Liam Williams, they’ve lost a further 5 from their already under strength squad against Ireland, including Dan Lydiate and George North.

    Prediction: Wales lost 10-14 at home to Scotland on the last meeting in the autumn and go in as underdogs. If Scotland do not underestimate them they should have enough in them to get the win and secure it with a stronger bench. Scotland by 5.
