Now we know who’s the better curry, eh?
Slightly different sample size.

Good insight from LNBD
"Earl has been a regular starter for Saracens"
Cheers for that.

Why? Another awful decision, this time jvp.
Dombrandt… yeah, hot and cold. His lines have been super useful though, they’ve really opened up space. I’d stick with him for sure.

In fairness, I'm willing to bet Tom made a fair few mistakes like that in his second cap too.

Marchant was quite wide again as the second man and came up quick so as soon as Curry fell off the tackle there was no one else there.
Sinfield won't be happy with how little Scotland have had to do for their tries.

Btw, our targeting of Russell has been superb.

To be fair, Farrell has shown up well in the last few phases.

Dombrandt off for Earl! Fascinating. Fleet on for bosh.
Earl packing down at 8, rather than Dombrandt shifting across.

It was a good call, there was no winger and loads of space. Marchant in the winger position doesn't anticipate it so when the bounce doesn't go his way Hogg has all day to let it run. If there's a chase there then suddenly it's an incredible kick.
Smith trying for the corner then Vs three Scots, that was brainlessly optimistic.

Up to JVP to understand if people are in the correct place for the kick chase.
Very happy for Smith to attack the line as when he sees fit… it’s not always about what happens in that particular phase.

Lucky to get away with a few penalties there. If I were a Scot, I'd be fuming at the ref there.

Cos GPS says he’s not gone or he’s not gone enough to be worse than Walker.

I don't trust Walker in a game this tight myself - wouldn't be surprised if Borthwick didn't either.

Tired work by Chessum there. Downside of making two back row changes and leaving the starting locks on.
