So how did Scotland conquer Twickenham? | Six Nations 2021 | The Squidge Report

A win, thirty-eight years in the making. Saturday saw Gregor Townsend's Scotland come of age as they put in a historic performance to shut out England and claim the Calcutta Cup away from home. So, how did Scotland conquer Twickenham for the first time in almost four decades?

I knew in my heart that Scotland played brilliantly but I allowed my utter disappointment at England's awful performance to blind me. Thank you Squidge Rugby for reminding me why I should celebrate an awesome Scotland performance instead.

[@limbothytimothy]

England were made to look even more awful by Scotland's excellent Pressure play, congrats on the win!

[@brianputman3385]

I had the same feelings man, I felt like it was more of an England loss than a Scotland win but I guess that’s just a biased opinion. All credit to Scotland now, I hope this is the start of their overall improvement. Hamish got Motm for me!

[@jonfox4239]

Both can be true! Scotland clearly played well, England clearly underperforming to the usual standard. Resulting in a dominamt scotland performance.

[@HAZMOLZ]

As a welsh fan I had a similarly uneasy feeling almost throughout Gatlands entire tenure. Now I sleep well at night knowing that we are actually playing like dog shit.

@@chris-ryan Yesterday was my case in point. Everyone plays their own world cup final against England. Scotland have shot their bolt with the huge effort involved in playing England.

All these teams need to drop their obsession with England, they will never progress to true world level otherwise.

Look at Ben Morgan before breaking his legs arguably the best 8 in the world at the time, never got another look in when Eddie arrived! Why is he unstoppable and why since Eddie has arrived as he had no competition?

I agree, Billy needs a rest. Sam Simmonds won't get picked, he doesn't seem to suit the style of the team. Same old story, Chris Ashton, Alex Goode, Marlon Yarde, Danny Cipriani, Mike Brown. They were all arguably at one point the best in contention, but never got picked. It is clear Eddie likes to play to a game plan and he doesnt like players who play for themselves, in this case its unjust as these guys set up and score tries.
