The Auld Alliance match is a great weekend in Edinburgh.
Countries joined by the love of whisky and the hatred of the English.
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?
Yep. Frogs love a good scotch
France is(maybe was) Scotland’s largest export market for whisky.
NB: historically the political relevance was massive. Kept England in check for a very long time.
Learned something new there.
Talking about the present re politics … and sort of pointing out that hating somebody only matters if that somebody cares.
Strange thing to feel the need to point out.
The context of the comment was similarities and age old connections between the two countries contributing to a good atmosphere and a fun night out.
How England feels about it has zero relevance.Cut the bullshit. It was bog standard England bashing.
Trying to paint an image of Scots and French arm in arms like age old friends singing about how they hate the English.
What. Fucking. Ever.
You really have picked up the wrong end of the poo stick haven't you.
Was there some bog standard whisky liking in there as well?
I used to live in Edinburgh. I was merely saying how there is good camaraderie between the two sets of fans which in part is due to history.
The post match in the New Town after a France game is different to when Scotland play other teams in my observation.But if you want to saddle up a different horse and ride it into the sunset go ahead.
If you can’t see the difference between what you write here and “countries United by hatred of the English” then I agree that it’s better for me to ride off into the sunset.
Ididn't think it was necessary to embellish the original one liner with a history lesson about the Auld Alliance/ Trade/ Whisky etc.
And yes,there was a wee touch of the standard trope of 'everyone hates the English' (which England Rugby have even used themselves in marketing)
Primarily though it was about the age old connections between the two countries,not some present day xenophobia.

Agreed. Very impressive and building nicely towards a dream redemption at home next year.
Be a shame if they choked.

favouritism does funny things to people and teams. ABs had for years been excellent at handling it - but it is hard. Plus, they're french.

I'm starting to like you. You've come around to my thinking on Ardie and now this.
I liked @Tim's description of him as 'a particularly adenoidal teenager'. His videos are fucking irritating.

His primary audience are Poms and people who don't know much about rugby... which are sort of the same thing. Oh sure, he pulls out the odd interesting tactical tidbit, but I find his breakdowns rubbery.

I don’t have to open that link to know that was a cruel response.
Good work.

Good work.
It's pretty even, actually. The last few years have tilted it toward England.
Of course it would be just in Australia's favour if the TMO could have correctly overruled Dan Luger's try in 2003, and not been hamstrung by the home director.
