6N - Scotland v France

[Victor Meldrew]

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.

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...

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...

[game_film]

Sideways

[Bones]

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.

[Bones]

Shit hot try.

[Victor Meldrew]

Wow, some try from Bielle-Biarrey,

[Victor Meldrew]

Where was the support, FFS?

[game_film]

Should have smoked Ramos on the outside says I

[game_film]

Need a split screen matched to frame

[game_film]

Just give a try when it’s that close ffs

[Jailbreak7]

Yikes who would be a TMO

[game_film]

Getting held up there is unforgivable though, unlucky as it is.

[Billy Tell]

That was a try imo but the initial call from berry saved the French.

[Jailbreak7]

Scotland bit hard done by there.

[sparky]

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.
