Is Complacency the Only Thing That Can Stop England from Beating Scotland?

England and Scotland collide at Twickenham this weekend after both saw their proverbial Six Nations bubbles burst.

Why Mark Bennett Has Been the Biggest Success for Scotland at 6 Nations

Scotland are having an awful Six Nations in 2015, despite impressive performances from Mark Bennett. Early promise was evident in their matches against France and Wales, but both games ended in defeat for Vern Cotter’s side.  Then they were undone by their old nemesis Italy, who took sweet revenge for Scotland’s last gasp win in Rome 12 months ago by grinding their way to a late victory...

Why England Did Not Feel the Absence of Mike Brown

England’s wait for a first Grand Slam since 2003 goes on. Their victory in Dublin 12 years ago was as comprehensive as Sunday’s 19-9 defeat at the hands of Ireland, so well-beaten in every department were Stuart Lancaster’s men.

Making the Case for Super XV Being Better Than the Six Nations

In Europe, we have been engulfed by Six Nations fever since the tournament began, but a blank weekend somewhat dampened the hullabaloo.
