Gooooooooooooo Scotland
Can Scotland stem the penalties tonight? If they don’t, they certainly don’t deserve to win. It was an appalling show, and one hopes they got a right rollicking for their effort.
Teams coming out
Go the Bravehearts! Sommer eat the Frogs!
Er on second thoughts, I’d advise against going that far….
Surely France must have one good game in the 6N, is this the one?
OK, teams out on the pitch… it’s about 6 minutes till kick-off.
Theres a lot of tight butts!….and some skirts to boot!
Anthems… Flower of Scotland up first
A bit wet, again
Now the French anthem.
Can the French click this time at home?
OK, Anthems done and dusted…
@ Just For Kicks:
I felt that France had to have at least one good game in the championship and went for them by 20 on bru.
Oh, how I would love the Scots to finish off their effort on a high
Gooooo France!
@ The_Young_Turk:I’m with you there, I think this is going to be their night.
Game ON!
France look like they want to defend.. good rush defence
Bad knock by Stuart Hogg, just inside his 22.
Quite a bit of rain about in Paris
France attack the blindside and bundled out not far from the line
For the first time this season, France seem to have some purpose
Great kick from No.8
Wynand Claasen se seun kry sy kans in die Franse beginspan…. nouja so verloor mens maar ‘n paar ouens
Phweeeew, the pitch cutting up really, really badly
Pitch the culprit there
@ grootblousmile:
Who would have thought the son of a Bok captain would be playing for France. We’re getting old mate and the world is changing fast. I think countries and nationalism is a thing of the past now and we may as well embrace it.
25 @ The_Young_Turk:
Yip… like you say, the son of a Springbok captain nogal…
Talk about yourself getting old…. hehehe
Penalty Scotland…. over
Scotland 3 / 0 France
Scotland doing well so far in these conditions. maybe we were talking up the Frogs too soon…
All France so far, but Scotland have the points on the board
@ grootblousmile:
Old maybe but not cold hey 😉
