Six Nations: Jim Hamilton demands response from Scotland against England

Jim Hamilton has urged Scotland to put their Dublin disappointment behind them and produce a "huge performance" against England on Saturday.

Chances

Despite the wide margin of the final score at the Aviva Stadium, there were some slight glimmers of hope for Scott Johnson's side. British and Irish Lion Stuart Hogg looked keen upon his first Scotland appearance almost a year while Duncan Weir showed signs that is moving away from his kicking-game dependency as he started at fly-half. But even after enjoying around two-thirds of the possession in the opening half the Scots still looked like a side ready to choke whenever their big chances came. Hamilton added: "I sound like a broken record player, but it's what it is. "We had a lot of chances and were in their 22 a lot, but when they were there, like a lot of the top teams they took them, they smell a little bit of blood and they take it. "That's something the backs will need to sort out and the forwards collectively because it wasn't pretty at some times."
