I don't think the Scottish performance was all doom and gloom. Score could have been much closer.
1. Sean Lamont gave away two tries. One unlucky, other bad defence.
2. Wilkinson's try was a farce.
The thing that needs hammering home to the players is to stop committing stupid schoolboy fouls in front of the ref, as well as the 3rd official. It is handing points on a plate to Wilkinson, who will pop them between the posts from anywhere in his own half. In my view that is the biggest problem.
Only other dodgy thing I could see was the tactics - Paterson was kicking well and finding touch deep in England turf, but then the line-outs weren't being challenged. That just does not make sense - it's handing possession back to England, and if you haven't got possession you can't score.
Lots of work to be done but it wasn't all bad. Tactics and giving away fouls were the basic cause of the big score margin. I'm Welsh by the way, was just observer yesterday.
