    Going to be quite controversial but feel this Six Nations has been distinctly average. Wales and England have dominated completely, the competition non-existent. The four other teams have been hopeless. Maybe a world league isn't such a duff idea or include relegation. Something needs to change because it's been poor fare overall.

    That was a brutal 40 minutes for Scotland. Gregor Townsend will have the hardest 10 minutes of his coaching career. That has been a very tough watch. It has been a procession.

    That was a very impressive first half from England, given how the week must have been. The mindset was always going to be tricky because of the Wales game.

    England have come out and been incredibly accurate for about 32 minutes. I am glad they had seven minutes of poor rugby. It is something for Eddie Jones pull them in a bit and give them some focus.

  5. Half-time - England 31-7 Scotlandpublished at 17:48 Greenwich Mean Time 16 March 2019

    Hang on... Finn Russell's kick misses touch and Jonny May is set free on the wing again.

    But England lose the ball on the ground and this time Ali Price does put the ball into the stands.

    England move the ball from right to left but Scotland defend well and win the penalty as Elliot Daly is penalised for holding on in the ruck.

    That should be that.

    England look for an instant response and they win a penalty inside the Scottish half for a tackle off the ball.

    Unsurprisingly, Owen Farrell kicks for touch.

    That is a shocking missed tackle from Jonny May. He could have overtaken McInally and tackled from infront.

    England will quite rightly be upset they have given away a soft try.

    Stuart McInally (con Finn Russell)

    Against the run of play, Scotland are on the board.

    Scotland captain Stuart McInally charges down Owen Farrell's kick before running half of the pitch to score under the posts.

    Incidentally, the hooker outran Jonny May who was unable to bring him down despite a desperate attempt at the tackle.

    Brilliant stuff and Finn Russell kicks the conversion.

    England are playing a different game. Everything has been instructive. Scotland are half asleep.

    That was the most delightful flick out of the back of the hand. Nonchalant verging on arrogant!

    Jonny May (con Owen Farrell)

    England are running riot this afternoon. The championship may be gone but Jonny May is in the tries yet again.

    The hosts attack from deep inside their own half and within a couple of passes they are into the Scottish 22.

    Ben Youngs takes a quick tap for the penalty and Henry Slade's pass out the back door puts the winger in for another Twickenham try.

    That's the bonus-point and Owen Farrell maintains his 100% conversion rate.

    Finn Russell has a kick to nothing in the English 22 but Elliot Daly sweeps across to cover the ground. Play is brought back for a late tackle by Ellis Genge and Russell kicks for touch. Scotland have a chance here from five metres out.

    England roll through 16 phases of relentless running but the blue wall stands firm this time and play is brought back for an earlier penalty against Scotland.

    Owen Farrell is lining up a kick in front of the posts.

    This could yet get worse for Scotland.

    Elliot Daly claims Finn Russell's kick and England are off again.

    Daly flicks it out of the back of the hand to Jack Nowell, who grubbers the ball forward.

    Ben Youngs wins the race and touches the ball down, but it's being reviewed...
