Scotland v France

[Prestwick]

Bastareud's second try was pretty emphatic:

Right now though I'm wondering who should be more worried: Ireland or the French.

Currently French are really efficient in finishing their chances but their blitz attack is all over the place. Trin-Duc seems to be intent on sprinting something like 20 meters every time Scotland pass the ball out wide. Effective in shutting down Scotland's attack but leaving a gaping hole and opening space. Its simply inviting a little chip over and catch or a dexterous side step and a rush of acceleration...


...now, I wonder who could do that?

No idea.

Watching the "celliers des dauphin" advertisement panels around the field, I understand why Scotland might have a headake...

This wine's so sweet that we hesitate to use it as petrol additive in tractors !![/b]

Might not be too bad to make a sweet vinaigrette though :lol:

Trust the French to turn a thread about rugby into one about wine

Dulcalcon is the 71st player to play for a France since took Lievramont over.

 

[Olyy]

That's a fair few :huh:

 

[Bullitt]

71 players in 2 years... But by god is it working!

[Mr.cyclopede]

Don't agree with Owens here, Ouedraogo fall into the white side but clearly indicate that he tries everything he can to move away

That bastareud is the most dangerous fat back i've ever seen grace the rugby field.
Wait..."grace" may not be the right word.

Trample.

 

[Bernard]

Wake up frenchies , put some speed into that !

 

[elgringoborracho]

It is a very poor second half, we need to speed things up a bit and stop just relying on our forward domination

While everyone else just wines about the ref, players etc
<_<

Why does Jonathan Davies have so much difficulty pronouncing "Harinordoquy" correctly?

 

[gingergenius]

Bastareaud looks like he's trying to be a darker Ma'a Nonu.

Minus the eyeliner...and maskara...and foundation...and blusher.
That's satire.

Last time he wore that lot, a load of All Blacks fans beat him up.

Ah...

Well played by Scotland. If the Irish back line turn up next week they could take this French defence apart.

French backs have been a mess for 2 years now. Attack and defense... Jauzion is way past it.

It's mainly down to the face they don't know who they will be playing with next game so its nigh on impossible to build an understanding with a guy who may be on the bench the following week.
