Sarah Rendell’s match report from Edinburgh is here:
And that’s the lot from me. Thank you for reading – congratulations to England and commiserations to Scotland. Roll on Twickenham next week. Or indeed the Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi in Parma, where Italy will host Scotland. Ciao!
“I thought England were outstanding,” says the Scotland head coach, Bryan Easson. “Once you give them ball on the front foot they are going to put you under pressure.
“We didn’t really fire a shot … and we’re disappointed with that.
“It’s difficult for both teams … they got on the front foot, and it’s difficult to stop them.
“Today was poor. Today wasn’t us. We are going in the right direction. There are glimpses in there that we’ve got some good things in us.
“We’ll draw a line under that one … We’ll learn a lot from that.
“The lineout’s been frustrating … second half, when we threw to the front, we got some decent ball … but by then the game was gone.”
