Great footballing skills
And the Bravehearts refuse to submit and Frogs can’t make it count.
Scotland scrum penalty… straight down is the call
Scotland playing on borrowed time, but making it count, thats for sure
Now Clerc knocks a kicked ball
If the Scots can make this one count, the frogs will be even more dejected
Dang, that pitch again
France scrum penalty… against Murray
Imagine France losing to both Italy and Scotland this season.
69 @ The_Young_Turk:
Well, with My Bru picks, it’s very bloody possible… hehehe
Good stuff, Scotland
Stab through by Laidlaw… out deep in the France 22
If Scotland can get a 3 pointer before half time, this would really demoralise the french.
Hogg like a greasy pig!
Drop atempt by Scotland, missed right
1st Half has flown by… time is up
Apart from the scrum, of which at least 50% has been the cause of the pitch, the Scots discipline has been so much better. If anything, it’s the French who are getting riled this match.
Well, Round 1, Scotland
Penalty Scotland… kicked out.
Lemoenetyd
And Scotland survive to half time. Well done!
Well well, looks like the Frogs look determined to punish our Bru for one last time, the farkers.
Can Scotland play an entire match again, with no possession, and go on to wine the match. Surely not twice in one tourny?
@ Just For Kicks:
I certainly won’t bet against it. In fact I would put money on it if I could.
2nd Half On!
… without sound… eish
Handbags between freddy Frog… and a Hogg…
France scrum penalty… come on Frogs, shoot for goal
Frogs have to take the points here.
Scotland 6 / 3 France
And Freddy does the bizness. Is this the start of the long long awaited french come back?
Bad, bad Scotish knock from a kick…. phweeew
