Missed opportunities frustrate Lancaster

Stuart Lancaster was left frustrated by missed chances, despite England beating Scotland 25-13 on Saturday to go top of the Six Nations table. 

England’s Jonathan Joseph and Scotland’s Mark Bennett exchanged tries in the first-half, before scores from Jack Nowell and George Ford pulled the home side clear, though Lancaster felt they were not ruthless enough. 

“Overall I think from a performance viewpoint we are delighted by the opportunities we created but with the opportunities we missed it is frustrating,” said Lancaster (pictured).
