Bryan Easson’s side scored nine tries in Edinburgh as Scotland warmed up for the defence of their WXV 2 title in style.

An early penalty try and scores from Lisa Thomson, Chloe Rollie and Lana Skeldon, as well as three Meryl Smith conversions, gave Scotland a 28-10 interval lead.

England issue update on Fin Smith selection chances ahead of Australia

What pressure ? He is sure to keep his job beyond the WC and each and every England supporter already hates him, even journalists and pundits are starting to moan.

What will happen if unfortunately F. Smith is injured for the WC ? The only other FH that has been tested recently is G. Ford.

Mark, when do you see Carwyn Leggatt-Jones making the squad? He looked superb in Cape Town and Loftus. They don’t come more intimidating that that, outside of Cordoba. I think he is ready, but I would move his team mate, Eddie James, over to 12 to help him settle. Our scrum and line-out are both at 93% this year, so he should have some quality ball to play with.

Mike Blair on why McKenzie-Barrett combination is becoming vital to All Blacks attack

That’s slightly harsh. The Chicago game in 2016 they had to plug gaps at lock because of injury (they duly won the Irish re-match in Dublin with their starters back) but they were still beaten on the scoreboard and try count rather than any one area

The team was still on an 18 match win streak, the majority of which was against tier 1 teams with a average winning margin around 28 PTS. They weren’t beating teams, they were killing teams

Overweight for that size… All brawn and no stamina. He's gonna huff and puff that's why he's on the bench. 🤕

Johnnie Beattie: 'Mike Blair is the Scot who made the All Blacks attack great again'

No of course not! Boks have an all court game! AB’s have one game plan! Easy to counter when you know what to expect. This might be new to you, but the tries aren't the only system to accumulate points. Boks scored well constructed tries vs AB’s

How many tries did the AB’s score that were not down yo individual brilliance?

Dave Rennie backs continuity in All Blacks squad for Scotland Test

Really solid side given the injuries. Interesting to see Lio-Willie named at 19, does this mean they see him as a 6/8? We’ll see.

Love seeing Jim on the bench and there looks like some good potential for impact all round. Hope Reiko continues to reestablish himself, needs to have a big game here but a 13/11 is really valuable as opposed to ALB and injuries have given him an opportunity.

Laura Delgado: Clàudia Peña Hidalgo yet to 'hit her ceiling'

Even so; use the full name then, ok: Claudia Peña Hidalgo, but never say just ‘Hidalgo’, it’s complete nosense. Imagine calling Indurain (Miguel Indurain Larraya) just ‘Larraya’, or Iniesta (Andrés Iniesta Luján) just ‘Luján’. An absolute absurdity.

Sam Prendergast shakes off injury to start for Ireland

Almost fell off my chair when I saw Casey starting ahead of JGP😮Faz also trying his hand at the “bomb squad” vibes looking at that bench. All depends which Argentina pitch up tomorrow night…if it’s the one who beat the ABs a few times, then Ireland need to keep things squeaky clean for a good result.

Why Scotland's clash with the All Blacks is 'different' this time

As a pro-athlete what else is he suppose to say. Of course they have to believe, but unfortunately I foresee a 15+ points difference in the ABs favour

Aagh well the Scoots have ta have a dream - but there is no chance of them beating the ABs this time - the ABs have played SA 4times - and then there attack turned on against the Wobbilies… sorry Scotland - no chance Lance.. but nice dream

It’s a really good question - answer being that media have been requested to use the full name by request of the player.

England issue update on Fin Smith selection chances ahead of Australia

Given he missed last week and most of this with training, it’s a big call to put him straight back in and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him come off the bench to get ready for the games ahead.

What’s the point of rushing him for this game ?

P. Dowson will be fuming if he is injured and becomes unavailable for a long time.
