Put the kids to bed and having another think about the game, Scotland's achievement of first win for donkey's years at Twickenham and the fact they played a semblance of decent rugby, and beat a/the traditional heavyweight in England, has probably inflated the perception of the quality other performance. Fair play to Townsend who had a terrible start to his tenure, was absolutely pilloried in many corners saying he's too inexperienced etc and not a patch in VC, then had to 'deal with' Finn Russel but now has shown some exciting selections and game-plans and that he warrants respect and support.

England lucky to finish second...
Dreadful.
@Markyboy hits the nail on the head. Lots of superlatives being heaped on Scotland. They were ok. But ok was plenty good enough and that’s all you have to be. Both sides will get better and they’ll have to. This will be a massive boost for a Scotland side who have threatened to start something for a while (since Vern Cotter), despite their run of results.
