Scotland played magnificently, and fully earned and deserved the victory.
As for the BBC, I felt before the match there was a disproportionate level of discussion/coverage of England, especially as we’d had an impressive win against the French, and the English needed an extremely dubious referee & TMO decision to take the win against the welsh. Guscott was very dismissive of Scotland and Russell in particular, and although I’ve never had any liking for the man, Martin Johnson came across well, saying he hoped for an even better Scottish performance and a great game with an English victory (I’ve no problem with anyone saying they want their national team to win). After the game Johnson was gracious in defeat and highlighted the good Scottish play as well as the English poor play, whilst the beeb very only interested in the latter.
I also thought Brian Moore in co-commentary was very fair (as is usually the case).

As long as I get to see Jeremy Guscott looking distraught, they could have the leader of the EDL presenting for all I care.

You don’t need to be jingoistic, smug or belittling to be passionate about your team/nation, you can be passionate and balanced at the same time, and be able to recognise what the opposition are doing well whilst still wanting one side to come out on top.
Bill McLaren was the master at this

Totally agree on both counts mate.

Jonathan Davies brings the same to a Rugby commentary as what Allan Preston brings to a football commentary. He really is that bad.
