The Scots are missing their best forwards. France should win this one, too much firepower up front.

The Auld Alliance match is a great weekend in Edinburgh.

Countries joined by the love of whisky and the hatred of the English.

Pretty sure that’s all rugby playing nations?

Magnus Bradbury is a big hard running unit. Keen to see how he goes in this one.

This one transcends rugby.

Scotland flanker Hamish Watson will miss Saturday’s Six Nations match against France after returning a positive test for coronavirus.

Edinburgh back-row Nick Haining moves into the starting XV for the Murrayfield clash and will play on the blindside, with Rory Darge switching to openside flanker.

Saracens’ Andy Christie comes into the matchday 23 and could make his Scotland debut from the bench.

Great try. Just how good is Du Pont?

[MiketheSnow]

France are a joy to watch

[MiketheSnow]

Russell doesn’t want any of this

[MiketheSnow]

How the fuck are Scotland still in this?

[MiketheSnow]

Fair play Scotland

Thought they were done and dusted inside the first quarter

[MiketheSnow]

FFS Hogg

A try there would have broken France

[MiketheSnow]

Foot in touch

Non

[MiketheSnow]

Stupid penalty from Scotland leads to France going to oranges 19-10 to the good when it could easily have been 17-12 to Scotland

Superb half

[MiketheSnow]

That’s it

Game over

Scotland 10-26 France
46 mins gone

[Bones]

This ref is garbage at the breakdown eh.

[MiketheSnow]

France turnover for yet another try

Scotland 10-31 France
60 mins

Could easily be 50 in 20 mins

And colossal over estimation of their relevance in their political jurisdictions ….

Whisky not something that jumps out to me with the French. Is this a thing?

[MajorRage]

Jesus the French are good. Proper good.
