That brutal cold spell seems to be over, thank goodness. Weather is mild and cool but well above zero. Fortunately it was a freeze that lasted only a short period.
Perfect rugby weather!
In monitoring the website now… CPU percentage at the web host for our Domain has never gone above 3%… they only really bug us when it goes over 25%.
Strangely I don’t get spikes when updating in Site Admin (Updating scores ect)… but do get some small spikes in comment posting… very different to what they told me to look out for.
I see you’re slowly moving up from the depths on superbru, Kickers. And our brave captain could be challenging for the the lead if only he didn’t forget to make his picks
2nd half on, by the way
64 @ The_Young_Turk:
I could indeed… heehehehehe
Looks like the French have finally got off the bus, and started the match
Penalty France, Parra going for goal.
Easy one.
Slotted.
France takes the lead.
France 13 / 10 Scotland
64@ The_Young_Turk:I somehow think that I will unfortunately be scraping the bottom of the barrel for most of the season!
@ Just For Kicks:
Yep, but I feel their hearts are just not in it and Scotland is always going to have a chance when they slack off as they will when they’ve built up a bit of a lead.
Scotland struggling with injuries now
France very lacklustre, in my opinion….
Scotland trying hard
This has to have had some of the worst tactical kicking I have seen in an age
Scrum penalty France
Sometimes the comment i post goes thru immediately, Gbs and other times it just hang and hangs and I have to cancel and reload page.
Scotland stronger at line out, but being scrummed all over the please
Try Scotland… was a good turnover… and fast on the left wing
TTTRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYY Scotland, great effort after a turn over
France are only interested to win this match even be it by one point. They have no motivation to give the Scots a hiding.
Scotland 17 / 13 France
I had thought before the game that France would come out and build up a lead and then go to sleep but they instead they have never woken up!
Try Maxime Medard for France
Try France, but should have been a penalty for the French not going through the gate at that last ruck
France are just so much stronger than Scotland, they feel that they can score at will whenever they need to.
Fance 20 / 17 Scotland
Another penalty gone a begging, right in front of the Touch Judge
Score a try, and get injured – hows that for luck!
I really don’t like the one-eyed commentating these days. I much prefer a more impartial commenting…
France certainly stronger in the scrums now, by some margin
Scotland get out of jail there, another poor kick, straight into touch
