1 week agoBorthwick has a big week ahead after England's grand plans shredded in Scotland | Gerard Meagher
England arrived at Murrayfield announcing their intentions to be bulletproof. Truth be told this was Scotland shooting fish in a barrel. Punishing mistakes, of which there were a litany, Gregor Townsend's team exposed the glaring limitations of Steve Borthwick's side that will be desperately difficult to recover from. Defeats happen, England's winning run was always going to end sooner or later, but the paucity of this performance is some setback for a side whose grand slam hopes are over for another year.
