Discipline works for England
After the first 20 minutes of the match, in which England were pretty much camped in the Scotland half, the hosts reversed the trend and spent the rest of the game piling on the pressure in English territory. Scotland might have themselves to blame for a host of mistakes at crucial moments, but praise should rightly go to England’s defence. If this was the same England team that played so stodgily at the World Cup, then Scotland could have expected them to concede a rash of ill-disciplined penalties. Instead they barely gave Dan Parks a whiff of the posts, keeping the points from ticking over and providing the defensive platform for victory.
Scotland must trust the kids
In a performance riddled with individual errors and a serious lack of cutting edge, there were few positives for Scotland. Parks had a nightmare at fly-half, while Ross Rennie fluffed a glorious chance to get Scotland back in the game. But the Tartan Army should be buoyed by the emergence of two young bucks. Richie Gray continued to assert himself as a monstrous second row prospect, while the excellent David Denton, who turned 22 yesterday, carried ball with great power and aggression.

Wales convert dominance into victory
Wales were the underdogs ahead of their opening Six Nations clash in Dublin – but the visitors comfortably dominated the possession stakes and Warren Gatland’s side spent over two-thirds of the game camped in the Irish half.
