France penalty… after a long advantage.
Easy kick to goal if they want it
France putting points on the board now.
Scotland 6 / 6 France
Is this the end of the Scottish resistance?
France playing much more clever now….
@ The_Young_Turk:You can only live on scraps for so long.
Freddy’s game has improved after that barney.
France penalty again… and once again, better and more clever play
@ Just For Kicks:
But you know how temperamental the French are. They could easily have lost the plot if Scotland had held on longer.
Fance 9 / 6 Scotland
Freddy looks a different player now.
The spills all on the Scottish side now. I think the Frogs smell haggis!
Scotland penalty… French player offside after a knock
France 9 / 9 Scotland
Back to level with 20 mins to go. Frogs look like finishing last even if they can win here.
Still tied after 65 mins.
Tryyyyyyyyyy Fofana!
Whoop, whoop!
France with all the possession but not much to show for it on the scoreboard… until the 66 min. Tryt for the Frogs at last.
France 16 / 9 Scotland
Scotland can do with an intercept now…
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyy Meddard!
Whoop, whoop, whoooooooop!
And the Frogs are finally breaking lose. Could be a riot…
Freddy Frog down hurt….
France 23 / 9 Scotland
Looks like my Bru may be a happy chappy after all. Come on Frogs, we need another try for my Bru!
Scotland knock with the line begging
Things just not going Scotland’s way.
Free Kick France, relieving kick to come
Another French try would be perfect for my bru.
