Calcutta Cup

One match, and I'm already over the Six Nations.  What a disappointing loss today - and indeed one of many disappointing results for England in recent years.  It must surely be time for a coaching change - we have the better players than Scotland, much more possession and territory, yet at times seem totally aimless.  And this is definitely not the first time this has happened.  The tactical ineptness starts at the top.  Losing to Scotland twice in a row - well that's just embarrassing.  But I'd also add, since when did the Six Nations start using southern hemisphere referees?  Some of the refereeing decisions were extremely dubious.  I think England need to start the next Six Nations with a home game against Italy - get an easy win and build up the confidence for the rest of the tournament.  Rather than an away game against a fired up auld enemy.  At least Palace won today - we are long overdue an FA Cup run (though not at the cost of getting embroiled in a relegation fight).
