[2024 Six Nations] Scotland vs France - 10/02/24

[Bluemoon]

On paper, France should be way too strong in the pack for Scotland and would have seen what happened against Wales and take a lot of confidence.

It is at Murrayfield though, these games are traditionally relatively high scoring so it's not beyond Scotland to win this. I just can't see how they will handle the French backrow which will look to slow all of their ball down and keep their ruck speed high.

I actually think this is the game of the weekend, Wales England is always tight and a tough watch and Ireland will be rampant against Italy.

Scotland are doing an England. Playing conservatively once getting the lead

 

[die_mole]

it's a simple solution. If you don't make an effort to play the ball the players are put onside. The law is now 5m or two passes but just standing there should be considered an action.

It is the kickers just being lazy and not putting their teammates onside though.

9mins to go, the game hangs in the balance

Did brilliantly to recover but up far too flat to begin with.

Same again. Paterson up much too high. Shame. He's played well.

 

[TommiG88]

This new 9 is better than Lucu

This could still be the highlight of the weekend...

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

Typical Scots. Just when you think they might do something special this year, they revert to form and start playing stupid again

 

[die_mole]

France winning this game and not firing their coaching staff is the worst thing that can happen to French rugby.

 

[corny]

They really do like singing the anthem don't they.

 

[TommiG88]

Awww I miss the Scottish booing a correct decision

 

[AlRums]

This will be the slowest scrum ever

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What a break, looked like he'd basically been given a hospital pass he had that many defenders on him

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How did that turnover happen? Was he really onside?

?

I meant "it's a shame both sides cannot lose".

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

They should have flung that ball out to the right instead of doing the pick and go

 

[TommiG88]

I would like to see if Finn was onside, seemed like he ran round the side

 

[ncurd]

Thats down

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

That's a try

If Scotland want to actually be as good as theybrate themselves they should be putting this French team to bed regardless of the ending
