Sorry penalty was given to Scotland eventually for France being offside, well spotted by touch judge this is what I want to see more of the touch judges getting involved.

Hello BrumbiesBoy thanks
Good quick long pass from Kockott to Lopez who clears with a good kick
Penalty to Scotland, too far for Laidlaw to go for posts so Hogg is going to try, a few metres inside Scotland half near the middle of field
Good decision, French constantly falling over the ruck
Hogg kick misses to the right had the distance from 65m.
Rubbish kick
Nice run by Bennett come on Scotland!
Should have been more patient, Russell went for the drop kick too soon and missed.
Finn Russell had a great game so far – spoke too soon with that drop.
Great steal from the bustard
Nice steal and run by Dunbar, France in deep trouble as he boots it on but France saved by the ref and get a relieving penalty
Scots looking really good in parts. Just need some consistency
I cant believe that in International rugby, players still don’t know when the ball has been passed back into the 22 and they kick it out on the full. Happened in last nights game too.
Too many knock-ons by Scotland costing them possesion
Laidlaw drops the ball forward after Blair Cowan did such good work to steal the ball off France!
Eish, the Scots and their fumbles. Costing them now
Penalty to France for Scotland offside should kick it over
Nice crowd
Lopez slots the penalty 9/3 to France
Stuart Hogg doing so really good work with dangerous counter attacking running, done that a few times this game
HOGG JUST SHORT!
Dougie Fife scores in right hand corner!
Yeehaaaa, right on half time. Great stuff. Higgs the man
Damn spelcheck – Hogg, not Higg
Laidlaw misses a tricky conversion (hits the upright) and that is half time
Hogg and Jonny Gray both had very good games so far for Scotland
Yeah Jock, you go boy, late Mom’s maiden name was Elliott so make the clan proud!
Scotland has made more tackles (63v58) than France but missed fewer only 6 compared to France missing 9, that stat confirmed what I was thinking during the half that it was only really good defence at times from Scotland that was keeping France from running away with things.
For me Scotland player of the half is Hogg, with Cowan and Bennett also doing well
