How England went from Rugby World Cup flops to record setters
What time is England v Scotland live on TV?
“We’re one year into a four-year project and we’re going to get better and better”, insisted Jones, whose ultimate goal with England is to win the 2019 World Cup in Japan.
A door already slightly ajar to the unusually confident Scots may swing open wide as the visitors bid to take down the reigning Six Nations champions and shatter a glittering array of potential records in the process.
“It’s an 80-minute game and we’ve got to be ahead at the 80 minute mark and that’s what we’re aiming to be against Scotland”, Jones said.
Yet they were still playing with heart and with ten minutes to go, Jones bashed his way over the England line to score his second try of the match.
Though England might have won the Six Nations title, Jones and his men are still not done with it.
England entered into the break with a 40-0 lead – the first time since 2002 that a team had ran in eight tries in the first half of a Women’s Six Nations match.
Three tries, one assist and Man of the Match.
The first half they were rattled but they came back out after half-time and adapted to the circumstances and ultimately won the game with a bit to spare.
“Winning a trophy [the Pro 12] with Glasgow was outstanding but a win for us on Saturday would be massive”.
Schmidit noted Wales scored two tries while first five-eighth Johnny Sexton was in the sinbin after a yellow card early in the second half.
They’re out of the tournament, they love spoiling parties and the party they would love to spoil most is the England party. It was the sort of performance we needed, ‘ Jones told ITV.
Scotland: Stuart Hogg, Tommy Seymour, Huw Jones, Alex Dunbar, Tim Visser, Finn Russell, Ali Price; Gordon Reid, Fraser Brown, Zander Fagerson, Richie Gray, Jonny Gray, John Barclay (captain), Hamish Watson, Ryan Wilson. And just three minutes later, England scored again, as Watson took a great pass from Joseph and exploited Scotland’s weak midfield defence.
Scotland head coach Vern Cotter was blunt in his assessment of his penultimate game in charge. It’s now 35 years and counting since the Scots last tasted victory at Twickenham.
Although we haven’t seen similar strike plays since then, England showed what they have been hiding in their locker against Scotland. He says Saturday’s matchday squad is “probably the strongest” they have picked “for a long time” and like questions over the whiteboard, he dismissed any notion they are starting games poorly.
