It is important for Scotland to stop giving away unnecessary penalties.

The first half saw them gift England a total of six goals.

We thought this would be a test of this young England team but not in the way we had intended.

Converting possession into points was the biggest challenge they couldn’t seem to deal with in the first half.

Scotland need to come out of the trap and see if they can test the first half to test the mental strength of this England team.
