9 Minutes to go
@ Blue Bird:Hello BlueBird, have you recovered form your Twickers affair?
France on attack again… some more urgency by them now
Relieving penalty for Scotland… good kick
4 Minutes to go…
@ Just For Kicks:
The general consensus is that ‘rugby’ was the winner at Twickenham yesterday!
Rather a mad day so far and I have not managed to read the papers point of view yet tho!
Free Kick for France, from a scrum, they choose to scrum again.
Scotland gets a Free Kick from the resulting scrum.
Knock by Scotland… oi vei
This game dying a desperate death now
BIGGGG French Scrum… and they march the Scots metres… and they get their penalty.
Missed left by Beauxis
It looks like the Scots chose their tight 5 for their line out ability, because they have been truly woeful in the scrums – worse than the Stormers, and thats saying something!!!
Scotland try and run it on the left wing… bundled out… last lineout.
Game Over
Final Score: Scotland 17 / 23 France
Well that it, Scotland fought for the Braveheart as valiantly as usual, but it wasn’t to be. The very erratic frogs take the victory 17-23
Well I’m off, will hopefully catch up during tomorrows matches. Cheers all

Cheers, I’ve got mail to send to our Web Hosts with my results
I know a bit late here but took a break from blogging and watching today, congratulations France. Some good periods of play by Scotland and didn’t think the half time score reflected the game until then but France just seemed to soak up a load of the pressure and play when they needed to. Big turning point I think was when Blair went off.
15@ Just For Kicks:
Hello JFK our try scoring record has not been great for a while now but don’t know where that stat comes from as its wrong, Scotland scored a try against Wales in Cardiff in game week before last, and arguably should have got a 2nd as many folk believe the ref made a mistake on thinking Hogg knocked on before he scored a try that was disallowed. Also got one at Twickenham last… Two tries today is a good improvement though.
