fantastic match that was. Full of drama and controversy. This plenty

to discuss with the panel. Before that, it's consider the two games

with that performance I am delighted. Scotland seemed to be

making progress moving forward, do you think they have taken a step

back? In the first 15 minutes, I think if you look at the second

half and the overall performance, I am hugely disappointed. We did have

a chance and the second half. We That was a big result. He was a

massive game for us with a short turnaround. We lost two key players

England to be at this level and I was disappointed by the French

performance from the start we had a lack of involvement. The defence

was not well organised. We were kicking the ball too much. There

was not very good construction. We need to do much better. Does Stuart

Laing castigate the full-time job? I think he should. He is doing well

as a coach. They have a good pattern. The forwards are holding
