[2023 Six Nations] France vs Scotland - 26 February 2023

More time wasting

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Only 6 dominant tackles in the whole game and all by France?
That seems....wrong?

What a time to **** that up

Brown is prone to messing up in big moments. I remember a certain red card for example. More stoppages for France and they look plenty fresh enough to finish this.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

France need to stop giving the ball to their forwards for pick and goes, they're too stupid not to give the ball right back to Scotland

MOM scores winning try.

Richie? Never!

Huw Jones was my man of the match personally

Wonder why we don't see a replay . Maybe he was right

Scotland might have had a chance if the French hadn’t wasted about 20 mins off the clock

Thought Fickou was an odd choice considering.

 

[AlRums]

Easily the best game of the weekend

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Nicely done. Very good match and credit to France for a quick tap at the end rather than taking a scrum which would have ended the match.

If Scotland had played with the same tactics as they did in the first two matches (to tire out France) and/or executed a bit better then I'm confident they would have won this.

Major issues with French defence and questionmarks on their fitness. I also don't rate them at 12, 13 & 15. I've still not put out my mind the possibility of Italy knocking France out of the RWC.

Massive game, annoyed to not at least claim the losing BP and there were 2 butchered opportunities in that second half. Concerned that Hogg can’t pass properly

 

[BenniMarco]

Easily the best game of the weekend

Italy Vs Ireland was a cracker too, no?

 

[LIONSxv]

Scotland the better side for 60 minutes. I. The end the initial 20 mins and 17 point defect was too much to make up

Fra definitely not at the same level as last season. Scotland doing some great things. The ref was up and down like the game.
Lots of time wasting too

 

[Jimbo]

Cant be, I've been reliably, and repeatedly, told that Russell is the best 10 in the game

I’ll give you bonus points for putting reliable and Russell in the same sentence.

I missed the first 50 of that game, so no comment

It was a belter in the first half. I'd argue the only game that lacked entertainment was Wales vs England. An outstanding 6N so far. Even if the other games disappoint it could be the best 6N I've witnessed.

Certainly better than England Vs Wales anyway!

Great game today though, 14 Vs 14 really suited Scotland more. Sets up for an intriguing home game against Ireland.

I just don't find Russel elite at international level, he makes too many basic errors to be considered a top international 10 for me. He's a luxury player, fun to watch in a game like today though.
