How many missed tackles?

Also, Van Porfliet is looking as terrible at the breakdown. Kicking too long and slow service.

Great try, but that was piss poor by Dombrandt at the end there.

The tackling was distinctly powderpuff, but his line & footwork made it so

Not sure last good game i saw him have
Nor me. Long time since he put in a proper performance.

Hell of a try that.

Yeah tacking was weak. Good balance though running at that speed.

We are getting blown away at the breakdowns at the moment.

Now that was a good try. Lots of build up leading to the eventual lack of defenders.

Some great lines there. England looking to play once they're near the 22 at least.

When we can actually hold onto it and go through phases we look handy. Dombrandt's line put a lot of momentum into that attack.

I'll also blow the trumpet for Marchant and Dombrandt in build up, they both cut some good lines, pace from deep.

Gray and Ritchie not working hard enough in that defensive line for the try.

Fucking never change do we? Chance at the other end to build something and we lose 3 at the other end.

Back row are nowhere at the breakdown. Feel like Crosbie is making more tackles than challenging at the breakdown.

England having good gainline success - they marched up the field pretty easily at the end of the first half there

I've been pleasantly surprised by the prominence of his carrying.

We need to start competing in these breakdowns. Giving the English a free pass.

Old school fly hacking going on.

England's lineout is dogshit. Fucked up, marched back to our 22.

I don’t get what’s going on with Smith & Farrell. Farrell’s clearly playing first receiver. Fair enough, but then why wear the wrong numbers? And Smith’s a very unusual choice at inside centre; if you’re going to play Faz at first I don’t think you pick Smith at all.

Not like those perfect Scottish penalties of course ;-)

England have Farrell playing 10 most of the time now. Zzz
