There were moments on Saturday at Murrayfield when you almost felt sorry for Chris Robshaw; not because he was out of his depth, or playing badly, that was not the case.

Courtney Lawes was way below par and Nathan Hughes looked exhausted other than a few bright early carries. Here, we break down where England went wrong at the breakdown and how it contributed to Huw Jones’s memorable length-of-the-field try.
