6N - Scotland v France
-
@Victor-Meldrew oh I didn't even notice him.
French support is massively vocal. Game has properly started now.
-
God I love Fickou.

Scotland loved his ability to fuck up a try there...

Not sure how he fucked up.... maybe he could have slowed up but then that kills the try too. Support needed to do better.

Ran a line that made sure the French D focussed on him and opened up space.
-
@Bones Fair point.
-
I don't think Finn Russell's a captain's arse, but fuck me his kicking game is on another level.

Superb vision, if he had a tad more physical ability he'd probably be the best player in the world and a bit less of a knob jockey.
-
Jalibert showing superb vision also.
-
Player behind Paterson touched it before Paterson regathered. Penalty France
-
Reffing is good - clear and concise and the TMO isn't getting in the way and/or wasting time. Pity this isn't a RWC game...
-
How in the hell did we lose to this rabble??
-
@Jailbreak7 we didn't
-
France losing concentration at key times, though you get the impression they could score 2-3 quick tries if they click.
-
@Bones France I mean in the RWC. They seem to be suffering from some sort of post shock hangover from then. Scotland hardly look convincing.

Yeah exactly the same team eh. And in another 6 months we can ask how we lost to the rabble boks.

Apart from watching the Scotland ruck get walked over and Russell sliding along the ground pushing the ball back the whole time. Yeah ref that's called tackled player not releasing...
-
Sideways
-
That's another bullshit call. Fickou slid into the tackle, that's hardly a case of a player out of the game making a tackle. Otherwise that should occur a lot more - any diving player is off their feet.
-
Shit hot try.
-
Wow, some try from Bielle-Biarrey,
-
Where was the support, FFS?
-
Should have smoked Ramos on the outside says I
-
Need a split screen matched to frame
-
Just give a try when it’s that close ffs
-
Yikes who would be a TMO
-
Getting held up there is unforgivable though, unlucky as it is.
-
That was a try imo but the initial call from berry saved the French.
-
Scotland bit hard done by there.
-
High drama at the end there. Unlucky call against Scotland when it was probably down, but no conclusive proof.
Why, o, why didn't the Scots spin it wide? They could have walked that one in.

Oh, how I yearn for the days when the TMO could stop play and correct this sort of mistake by referees....

The Scots fans will be feeling absolutely filthy about that one at the end. Common sense suggests that was a try and if they was any benefit of the doubt given to the attacking team then that's a try.

Not convinced there was pressure on it once it bobbled to the ground. Regardless, Scotland needed to do better and their captain showing no interest other than pigging it up from the back of the breakdown didn't help.
Great defence by France.
-
Rugby is it's own worst enemy at times. The slow mo kick fest is annoying and the ref and tmo call at the end seemed wrong. Ultra dumb by Scotland in charging one off in that end of match situation though. Always the danger of held up or inconclusive.
-
Rugby is dying a slow and painful death. Apart from the diehards. No one will be watching in 5 years.

-
Fuck, there goes another Grand Slam.
Geez, they’re not that hard to win are they ?

He’s basically Carlos Spencer without the rig

Scotland were fucking robbed. What a shithouse piece of TMO work. It was 100% clear the ball was grounded, they found the angle then “rock and rolled “ it and were both happy before the dodgy TMO changed his mind
Poor Scots, that was a disgrace
