England v Scotland Six Nations Rugby

From Cardiff to Twickenham, this is the England dressing-room and this

is the oldest trophy in the world, the Calcutta Cup dating back to

1879. The fixture is older, 142 years, but have the old enemy ever

gone into this contest with such a Tall, short, tall, short, left,

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 62 seconds

How much to read into the attempts of two months ago? Peace Players

will know that a good performance today and even a winger will change

public perception of Scottish rugby. The Scottish captain was alive the

last time that Scotland won here, he was one-year-old. The doom-

mongers requesting the new regime and the Welsh champions are not

just beaten, but thrashed. 10 years from the World Cup heroics, is this

the next group of players to scale the heights of international rugby?

12 months ago, Chris Robshaw was a brookie international, now use the

name back. Can a good Scottish name revitalise the Scots? Definitely.

We are going under the radar, by staff of! The history books do not

lie. It is three decades since Scotland were the winners.

brilliant try by the Scottish scrum-half. It is a raw, bitter

afternoon in Twickenham. It will be difficult to a much what happened

in Cardiff, but there is a bring excitement in the aftermath of the

demolition job on the All Blacks a few weeks ago. A huge optimism in

the English camp. The Scottish would like nothing more than to

derail all of this. Jeremy Guscott and Andy Nicol are with us to

analyse what happens here in the next 90 minutes, and the name at

signing in the transfer window was a man that scored his try in this

fixture over three decades ago. A magnificent try! Never tired of

seeing that. No, I wish I had made a scene! That magic moment! Lovely

to have you with us, looking forward to hearing from you during

the course of the RBS Six Nations Championship. Cardiff has set the

benchmark. Over three decades or more, you have loved being part of

this? Yes, it is where rugby takes centre-stage in the country and it

has been a marvellous 2012 and now 2013. Expectations are huge to date,

been here at Twickenham, it is always a magic. It is very special

here, an expectant crowd looking back on what happens to New Zealand

a few weeks ago. How do Scotland coach from 18 a battle lose to told

without a loses to the Tonga. can change history, but you cannot

write the future history. They will not have spoken about Tonga in the

build-up. At common English perspective, is there a danger of

reading too much into the All Blacks victory? There is for

everyone at home, but Stuart Lancaster is level-headed and he

has brought them back down to earth. He has said it as it is, it is a

great game, but we have to get ready for the Six Nations, let's

try and go one better from last year. I am not sure or the

conditions well materially affect who chooses what, there is not much

wind blowing, but Chris Robshaw has won the toss. Chris Robshaw on the

left, Kelly Brown on the right, Chris Robshaw, a rookie captain,

but he is the name Maney these days and he has spoken to Lawrence

Dallaglio about being England captain. Someone up the captaincy

in one word? Could question! Lead by example. A leader. Passionate.

Outstanding. You were made captain very quickly in your international

career, what is your style? I was quite vocal. It is one of those

questions you are asked a lot but you never know the answer, do I

rant and rave, I think sometimes you have to. To be a good leader,

you have to have that kind of character and understand the team

around you and know whether you have to rant and rave or put your

arm on their shoulders. I remember times when I would arrive and the

team would be like, I do not need to say a word, we are up for this

game. As a captain, when you ask somebody to do something, you need

to know that the captain would be willing to do it as well. In 2003,

we had some great leaders, are you developing them in your team?

Stewart is very big on leadership, we have got a lot of characters.

That is what you need, you need those kind of people around you,

and as a captain, you need to use that. In Wembley, we played against

Wales and I made the wrong decision after having to make a couple of

decisions. He has scored! I learnt from that. From those decisions

against Australia and South Africa, what do you take from that as a

captain? You try and forget about it, but at that stage, you think,

how do I talked to be Team? But the squad was saying, don't worry, we

will go out and win it will all be OK. You make mistakes, but this is

how you move forward. What did you take from the All Blacks game? Was

it a big surprise at Chris Burke you relish the chances when

everyone has written you off. proved a few people wrong. It was a

day when combinations were starting to click and the team was beginning

to gel. It is a shame that we went our separate ways very few months,

but that is our benchmark Bedgebury wants the standing to be. England

going in as favourites into the Six Nations, you comfortable with that?

It is a new challenge, but we are excited about that, everyone wants

to win, but it is about how you go about it at break down into the

processes and if we get these processes right, then the outcome

should take care of itself. much of the team talk this week,

Jim Telfer has done that already, I imagine the boys are already fired

up by that? Arrogance, being condescending, I do Nazi that was a

fax back you can always find something to help motivate the team.

-- I do not see that myself! And how important is the captain these

days in modern rugby? He has done a great job. You have to be an

automatic lead. You have to have the respect of the team mates. You

have got to get on really well with your coach. He has that'd be a good

relationship. If he was injured, who would captain England now? He

has made the position his own. He is learning on the job. He has

played a few mistakes that he has admitted, but he is a stand-out

captain and in rugby union, it is very important, why the decision

can win or lose a game, and it is easy from the touchline to make a

decision are but he is really learning as doing a fantastic job.

Clive was bemoaning a few decisions that Wales have been made, I am

sure we can debate that on the interactive forum on the red button

later. Beekeeper reflecting on the eight against New Zealand game, you

picked out some of key areas where a England were impressive? It was

how quickly delivered. Their passes had been stuttering. Ben Morgan,

England team came in and they blow that apart and to leave the ball

there. Nice and clean, and Ben Youngs has not been having to watch

again with a mark it is not often here you see this, New Zealand have

the chance to score a try. But this time, no way they are going to get

that back, but look at the power and the body ankles. Comes in a low,

goes up, drives over and then Ben Youngs will be truly about a

situation like this today. England were put in exactly the same

performance. The defence is so disorganised. Off-the-field,

whatever you need of the new regime. Thousands of people Kennett to

watch the trading, but is it a bit superficial, is that fundamental or

is it all about what happens at here? As a coach, you have to do it

your own way, and stewards did it is own way. He was beat good

gamekeeper. He has taken the team and he has done it is way. He will

know that it is what happens on the pitch at the grassroots, all other

Ricky is doing is fantastic, but no one, his job is to get results for

Twickenham. There is a nervous anticipation, a big game ahead, the

Calcutta Cup, everything rolled into one, so we just want to get

out there and get the game started. A matter of weeks ago, that

fantastic win against New Zealand, if you look at the Arts, nobody

gives Scotland much of a chance, but how much does that performance

City in the minds of these players? A new live up to the expectations?

We have looked a critique from the performance and we are frustrated

with the loss of the previous games against South Africa and Australia,

so we are not getting carried away. There is expectation and it was

slightly different, and this time last year, will be the underdogs,

and that makes Scotland's formidable opponents, had we have

to concentrate on what we can do and do it well, and hopefully we

will get the result. Where can Scotland heard you? If you look at

defenders. Youngs needs to get the ball moving. Owen Farrell is the

Ice man. He needs to get the back line moving. Barritt tackles in his

sleep. Twelvetrees is the new guy. He loves to attack. He has a habit

of winning turnovers. A really good back three. Brown is dominating the

high ball in attack and defence. The English bench is hugely

impressive which may be important by the second half. Let's move on

to Scotland. If they are to win it for only the 5th time ever, it will

be quite starts to the new coaching duo. The Australian who quotes

Plato! Australia and the Eagles Scott Johnson following the autumn

resignation it now finds himself in charge of Scotland. I am trying to

grasp the history of Scotland. Learning different people and what

motivates them. This is the embryonic stage of the relationship.

The Scottish public want to know about the national coach. How do

you describe yourself? I am not sure, people have tried. I'd just

like coaching. I've lived a privileged and different life. I

keep saying I am of an age where it is not about me, it is about the

lads. You get passionate about it. If they do well, I will be proud.

One of the first decisions was to recruits Dean Ryan to galvanise one

of the biggest packs in the tournament. To outsiders, they seem

like the odd couple. People say looker Dean Ryan and Scott Johnson.

That is a crisis waiting to happen! It's been great. Locked in a

coaching ring talking about the game. We have ideas about what we

want to do. It is good fun. needed a Ford coach to replace Andy.

I needed someone who can stand up and command. I am really happy to

have him. -- forward coach. What do you bring to the party? I like to

think I bring clarity about the fundamentals, the danger when the

gains haven't been successful is you seek answers but we have an

opportunity to say these three or four elements of the game are

really important irrespective of wins and losses. We need to

prioritise and get better before we can my fault. Can the team score

tries at Twickenham? It is pretty good. We have people who can go the

full length of the field. But we have to get the first part right.

We expect big things. We have a few boxes to tick in the selection

battle, it is about the deeds, which had enough talk. It's about

doing the job. It is a challenge, history tells us it is a hard place

to win. But it has been done. Nobody needs to remind England

turned the tables against New Zealand. If you do certain things

well, you have a good chance of winning games. That is the message

we're sending. We are going under the radar, we are going with

stealth. At the end of the day, we stand a good opportunity. I will be

looking at the market, we would prizes. These are the 15 players

who will start on the quest for Scottish sporting history. Scott

Johnson's selection, Ryan Grant the loose-head, and form over

reputation, or getting his first Alasdair Strokosch -- Strokosch.

Laidlaw is a goal kicker and Jackson has played well for Glasgow

and is stepping up for Scotland. Scott and Lamont give youth and

experience. Their job is to get the ball out to one of the most

exciting back three is I've seen. Sean Maitland is a quality player

and Tim Visser leads to score tries and Stuart Hogg. Very exciting.

What is the perception of a Scott Johnson? Well received. He has

broken down preconceptions people had of him. He has made a great

impact, the players have responded to these players really well. It is

now about putting that into performance. Derek good vibes

coming out of Scotland. Robinson past me an hour ago and

said Scotland will win. I asked why and he said because looker

Scotland's performance in the second half against South Africa,

the way South Africa controlled and strangled England. That is why

Scotland can win. Scotland would Scotland can win. Scotland would

not have watched the Tonga game for any bearing but there were good

things New Zealand and South Africa. The way I have been speaking to the

players, they will play slightly different and there is intensity.

They can cause problems. We keep talking about history but not a

Going clear, a brilliant try by the Scottish scrum-half. He has it on

the line. The cries go up. Scotland end on the highest of high notes.

1963. Jill Douglas is on the touchline. You were just about

alive to see the 1983 result. Good to see. Looking forward to today.

At a special day at Twickenham. As you came in, you said there was

something in the air but could happen for Scotland. If that

happens, there is crucial men on the pitch. You have had a close eye.

It is a difficult time to call a result. Two players I am looking

for to watching are Brown and the... A big impact. I am looking forward

to seeing them in action. Let's look at front. I have chosen to of

the relatively new players, Launchbury and Richie Gray.

Stacking shelves in the supermarkets to a starting place in

the England team. Richie Gray has had a fantastic and influential

start. If those guys do their job, the City will end up playing

exceptionally well. I look forward to seeing in action. Give us a

prediction. It will be very close. Closer than most people imagine. I

hope we see something as exciting as before. It is too close to call.

Three or four points it. England will feel confident at home with

their record against Scotland so I expect England to run out 6-10

points. We will talk to again later. We are waiting for the teams to

appear. The front row... Murray and Marler, it is not a headline

grabber but it might be a key area. The game has evolved. We talked

earlier about the analysis, it is about the contacts. More contacts

and set-pieces. You need a platform to another contact take place.

Murray has a big role to play. Scotland look the part. Is this a

match for England to go for it or is it actually a pragmatic start to

a Six Nations? It is both. England have to play the forgers. They have

to win today. I am looking for a step up. I really hope England go

for the tries. They should put Scotland away here. It is all here

to be done, the expectation is massive. Can England live up to

expectations? Lancaster has cut and level-headed. -- kept them a level-

headed. His 50th cap of the day, leading the Scottish team out. The

Scottish pundits have been keen to point out that there was a Beattie

and Laidlaw in the line-up before. You clutch to any strawberries.

They are good players, Johnny Beattie has deserved his selection.

Laidlaw has to pull the strings. He is doing the goal-kicking which is

key to allow a Jackson to control the game. Looking at the Scotland

team of 12 months ago, this is better. It is a better England team

as well. It will be a tight game today. England and will nudge over

England have to make this Fortress Twickenham going forward. Yes, the

World Cup is three years away. They have to make this a fortress. All

the talk, yes, you want to win against Scotland but they need a

big performance. It is wonderful to be here. The crowd is so expectant

of England. Great teams perform under pressure. Scotland have

nothing to lose. It will be a wonderful start to the Six Nations.

Scotland have nothing to lose. They can express themselves. When you

have Farrell and the intensity against New Zealand in contact, you

do not want to give penalties away in your own half. They would have a

real crack, Scotland. They have lined up for the anthem.

For very little, in essence. The penalty came from the pressure.

England are putting more people into the break and, Scotland had

taken the decision not to contest the breakdown and make people go

game line and not otherwise. England started with a quick tempo

The we are halfway through the first weekend of the Six Nations.

Fascinating game in Cardiff, and this game at Twickenham got off to

a great start. Sean Maitland scored for Scotland. Owen Farrell is such

a reliable goalkicker. The score board caps on ticking over. Ashton

crossed the line for England's opening try. Penalty after penalty

as well. Farrell, Laidlaw and a wonderful backdrop with St George

flying across. It is 19-11 and England lead. The meters made his

almost twice as many for England over Scotland. It is pretty much

even Stephens. The bottom line is a lot of the match has been played in

the Scotland half which is why England are winning. Really pleased,

a great game. England started, a key moment when Robshaw to the

line-out. I think Scotland scoring early has made the game. England

are playing very very well. It is a great game of rugby. The hat to

weather the storm in the first 10 minutes and they did and they

scored that try. The penalty at the end gives them a boost going into

half time. 90-11 is probably a fair reflection. England have been the

better side. Wonderful. A cracking game in Cardiff and the tempo has

called on. It's been wonderful. Farrell doesn't miss anything.

England average four penalties in the first half and he has carried

it on. You had Johnny and the impact of an outside half who is

such a reliable goal kicker has a real talisman effect. And Scotland

hat to be 89 penalties in the game. When you have a goal kicker working

against Farrell, Scotland know it allows you to... I think again he

is looking very cool. When Scott and score, it was a good strike and

they moved into another gear. England are playing well. Scotland

have to look at the penalty count in the second half. As it is, it is

playing into England's hands. target is eight or nine penalties

and they have conceded six already. What about Tom Wood, a good break?

I felt sorry for -- the Scottish defenders. Theyeither side. It is

his choice which gap. That was England's intention. They were

prepared to play the pass. They have really had to go. Look at

Murray, he looked to see what was in front of him, he didn't scan at

all to see that he needed to step in. You need so much communication

and if you have forwards with blinkers on not looking naturally

it so easy for the attack to exploit space and it did. It was

well worked. That was the way it has gone. Everybody is attacking

holes. England take the lead and you were sitting here and said oh

no and this happens. Look here, Brown is calling to Coal. Dan Cole

doesn't get anywhere close. How can the, Stuart Hogg is very good.

Scotland did it very well, recycling close to the line, good

contact skills, they didn't Fawcett. Good composure. Sean Maitland was

involved. Laidlaw sees the gap. First try and a great start.

talked about England and the Kiwis, Scotland have regurgitated the ball

allowing England's no chance to get the blind side covered. It was well

worked. Poor defence from England. It's strange option to kick the

ball downfield. They Kate the ball loose end the kick chases... You

have to get it close together and Look at determination to get a

Jackson. That led to the phases of play but allowed Ashton to stick

under. Done very well has exceeded. Look at the quick ball. Smash.

Farrell in there again. Ashton is a terrier in a position. Marler

passes, put him through the hole. Before that, if teams play one of

the ruck, one pass smash, one pass smash, it's predictable. The

Scotland defence come in. To see England play with the forwards

comfortable on the ball, that has been uplifting for me. It's a good

performance from England. Marler is a modern prop. He can pass the ball

one of the ruck. It is the way the Quins play. That pass is everything,

it puts them wider. Not a fan of beards? Not a big fan of

internationals playing rugby wearing beards. I would not choose

a player with a bit. If you want to contribute to that debate, there is

a forum with any thoughts you might have on tomorrow. Johnny Beattie is

commentated for Radio Scotland at the moment. He will have been proud

of his son today. Johnny Beattie has had a fantastic season with

Montpellier. Very French, the ball in one hand. Not technically very

good but he is a big ball player. He comes in and out but when he is

in, he is really in. That is power. Parling, of the gaze. He is looking

up and around, he is really responding well to playing in front.

It is structured, perhaps it is anti-French. He has done really

well. Hough does well to keep hold of the ball. I am impressed with

Scotland and their approach. They are playing to their strength. If

they can keep the penalties turned down, they are right back in again.

It is these key moments, the charge down, penalties on the inside, they

have to eradicate that to get back into it. We have a good game on

here and breathtaking game in Cardiff earlier today. Ireland

scored early on and then an outrageous second try. You don't

see this very often in international rugby. Dan Biggar

the time in the world. It finished 30 points, 22. The last 20 minutes

was breathtaking. Ireland held on. To finish of this first weekend,

Italy and France live in the Olympic Stadium. Highlights

Helen Skelton one of our colleagues is doing a big challenge, there is

challenges and she is trying to kick a penalty at Twickenham. That

is about 30 metres. She missed it, sadly. I am not sure exactly what

impact that has on Comic Relief but she has upset at down the Zambezi

and been innate moonshot. Doing a penalty in Twickenham is beyond the

action goal. Lawrence Dallaglio, any thoughts? It is exciting Test

match. Scotland came out of the blocks. More organised under Scott

Johnson and Dean Ryan. They were fired up. And even context --

contest. England, on balance, deserve to be ahead. A fascinating

deserve to be ahead. A fascinating second half. Again in Cardiff at

half-time they said the team the school's first will determine its

and Ireland got a lead. If England score early, Scotland will be

worried but Scotland score first, it will be interesting. It's on a

knife edge. Owen Farrell's kicking mean they cannot play in their own

half. There is pressure on them. England will kick back to Scotland.

We have seen what Morgan and Tim Visser can do. The first 10 minutes

of the second half is the key. pressure on, concede and keep the

scoreboard turning over. They can go into themselves and don't

retreat. Continue and go on and score more points. No changes to

either side. England A score and a bit to the good. Let's go back to

the team. the team.

the team. No changes to either side. That

means Scotland have made one change, David Denton on. Scotland might

start to tire in the second half with the effort they have put in in

defence in the first half. They have a chance to attack but it owns

the kick-off and winning back the Scotland dressing room at half time.

momentum and effectively they win the penalty. It puts Scotland

right-back outside their 22. They have not been able to stay in

England territory. If you cannot do that, then you cannot put the

pressure on, and you cannot make them commit the errors. Scotland

scratch their heads. No. 2, dangers around the neck, so we are starting

with a penalty here. The crowd still do not know. Tom Youngs is

but it is alleged he went around come on. Might not improve the

beat. England may yet still get that tried. Wide it goes. How

quickly that try came. Bad twin does count. Great work by Ben

missing out all of the Scotland defence. First try for Geoff

Parling. Ben Youngs, gets past the tackle. Owen Farrell sees the space.

That came from the Scotland line- out, unfortunately for Scotland.

Scotland are tiring because they have to do so much work in defence.

There is only so much you can get. Scotland need possession. They had

not been able to stay anywhere in the England territory. Colin

It is about what England have done at the breakdown. Launchbury

The speed he delivers it to Youngs, Youngs makes me fantastic break.

He would have thought that Scotland these guys are still hitting each

been eight physical game, eight day with no little limited ambitions.

England with the line-out. Scotland's line out failing. The

final moments of this match may go annoyed. He has justified his

inclusion. A very entertaining match. He will get man of the match

in a moment. Week into its nerve. He has answered a lot of questions

in terms of his distribution, to be where he needed to be. Still very,

very young. A great game. Directed England well. Feelers kicking were

succession of England tribes. The final whistle has gone. Danny

Care's try it, but final say in You cannot criticise Scotland for

their efforts. They just could not get enough of the ball. Every time

they got down there, they got their points, and that is what the score

board reflects. England's domination of territory. England

have kicked on from the autumn and both teams next weekend will be

good to watch. They England got what they wanted, carrying them

from our last game. The Scottish side had plenty to say had plenty

to offer in this much. A great game, a great game for all the supporters.

Add that to what we had earlier on, he kicked a start to the Six

Nations. Handshakes all round. ScotlandCohen To the home match at

Murrayfield against Italy. England will meet Ireland in Dublin. That

will be quite an encounter, but plenty for Scotland's to take from

this match. England look very composed, and they had all the

pressure, are well worth their 20. Victory. Scotland will be looking

forward to other challenges. Chris Robshaw, his stock continues to

rise as well. His ambition to be a leader of the Lions, and questions

about him, but he is answering them, and the longer he goes on playing

like this, it doesn't matter if he looks like a six but he plays like

this, because he leads by example. People want to follow him as Basle.

Positives from Scotland's point of view. They played the counter-

attacking game, they were forced to take a lot of possession, but a

good starting point, and it was always there, and that is what the

fans loved to see. 820. Victory, England beat Scotland and the man

of the much is with Gill. Many congratulations, how much did you

enjoy being part of this victory? It is brilliant, especially play at

Twickenham in front of this crowd, it is what international rugby is

all about eight it is why I love the game. Oysters this say about

England's intent in the Six Nations? We have had some great

play and Darrington city was good. I think we can be hard on our cells,

and before stay few things, and we hope to go forward from there.

Suddenly 82,000 people disappeared into the next guy into Richmond and

Twickenham and for English fans they'll be encouraged by that.

Clive, you sit England hat to pick on from the New Zealand performance.

They have definitely done that. The key thing was the ambition, four

tries. Scotland have a lot to be proud of. Scotland in the second

half played into England's hands. England kicked down the line. They

are a hard team to stop. Scotland gave them too much possession.

Robshaw's stock is rising. Robshaw receiving the Calcutta Cup. The

oldest cup in rugby. From 1879 although it dates back to 1871. It

was made in India with the famous handles and the elephant on the top.

There is the lid which is damaged. You were there! Get your lawyer on

to it. Was it a 20. Game? doesn't feel like it. England were

ruthless. Nine turnovers 28. From those, England must have scored 21

points. They were incredibly efficient. Scotland, there was a

lot to take from this. There was a lot of good play but 20 points,

probably not. England used the offload and they thrashed Scotland

in that department. You know which side was attacking.

Explain the game line statistic. is getting over the advantage line,

if you get hit behind the line you're on the back foot not going

forward. You can't offload. England executed it to perfection this

afternoon. Clive, when England have won by 20 points, if you are

looking for flaws in the performance, you are picking holes.

But other areas? There are always areas. That's what is good but a

team. They will look at this, there is a lot of emotion. The key thing

is the line-out and scrum went well. What is starting to really impress

me is the forwards. Ashton, Twelvetrees, I am disappointed they

took him off. I would have left him on. He had a great game. It is so

difficult to actually stop that but it is the forwards are coming in.

The causing so much trouble for the defences. It sets up next weekend

so well. I think England have stepped on from the all blacks.

They were offloading today. They have taken a step Fordwich they

have to do. The challenge is to go to Dublin next week and do it with

utter intensity. What a tremendous match it promises

stuff. We have a high let's show tomorrow night, Saturday night --

Sunday night into Monday morning. Tomorrow at 3 o'clock at the

Olympic stadium in Rome, Italy play Billy Twelvetrees, he wants to talk

about him? Would you make of him? great game. He goes from Leicester

to Gloucester the stock he played really well for his first pressure

game. He has a lot of distribution, he is better than Tuilagi. It is a

great problem for England. Some good players coming through.

would you play against Ireland in the middle? A good question.

Twelvetrees and Tuilagi. The line A somebody who will be happy is

Stuart Lancaster. Congratulations. Give us your initial reaction.

Really pleased with the scoreline. I intend to play was excellent,

loose on occasions but overall I am pleased. A lot of talk about where

the England team was and where it was going. Have you answered those

be dated it was a flash-in-the-pan? We have been building steadily, we

are a good Six Nations but in the southern hemisphere we struggled.

The New Zealand game gave us confidence. We will continue to

build. A massive challenge next Sunday in Dublin. What impressed

you much about England? The intense to play. It was a great day to play,

a still day. We knew if we kept playing and kept the pressure on

Scotland they would struggle to deal with us in the last 20. Fair

play to Scotland. With some of the guys off the bench, Lawes and Danny

Care, some good guys of the bench and great. What a debut for Billy

Twelvetrees. It is great when you get a play on and he makes his

debut at Twickenham. He said he loved it. You want young players

who are excited to play. Wind you think about England quest --

Ireland? Now! We watched half of the game and Ireland played well

but Wales came back in the second. A big game. Will he be on your team

sheet? We have a lot of decisions to make. I am chuffed for him.

will talk to believe. What a debut. Thank you. I was delighted to play

in front of the Twickenham crowd. What was said at the end of the

match because it was an emphatic win. Yes, we wanted it to continue,

the momentum from the autumn, and build on that and to get a good

game plan together. Sometimes we were it poor. I am excited to get a

win for the first Six Nations game. When I saw your face at the start

taking in the atmosphere and to score, you had big shoes to fill,

Tuilagi. How much did you enjoy taking the try? It was nice to get

on the scoreboard. I wanted to get up there and do what I do every

weekend for Gloucester. Compose myself in every direction. I was

happy to be there. Congratulations. An awful lot to talk about of the

back of this game and also in Cardiff. Send us your tweets, text

and e-mails for the interactive Foreman -- Forum. From Scotland

perspective, it is the question you ask of the van Quist, what

positives you take? Stuart Hogg, without a doubt. The effort was

there. Matthew Scott did a lot in mid- field, he took the ball up a

lot. I was impressed with the intensity, a couple of mistakes and

got punished. There was a lot of effort. I didn't really see the

influence of Scott Johnson but it wasn't the game to do that. Maybe

next week against Italy. And it is a big game. A massive game.

Scotland's six nation was never going to be judged on today. The

three home games for Scotland at Murrayfield, none bigger than Italy.

Two tries today. Four in the autumn. Can Scott and scored tries? Sean

Maitland is the new boy, he has come on at performed well. Jackson

has work to do. We question the half back combination. Jackson did

not quite look like an international to me. He needs to be

built up this week. A final thought on England against

Ireland. Just wonderful. In Classics Six Nations game. The big

thing in my experience as a coach is playing at Twickenham is one

thing, these gains when you are English and the coach and going to

Dublin and Cardiff is a totally different scenario. I think England

achieved everything they wanted to and they will go to Dublin with

everything to gain. They will learn a lot about the team because going

to Lansdowne Road will be tough but they have every chance of winning.
