This game is quite an arm-wrestle… Scotland playing better that I expected them to… then again one never knows which French side would pitch up!

Good French attack and Laidlaw caught right on touch and all he could do is kick it into touch, right there.

Attacking French lineout, deep inside the Scotland 22.

grootblousmile on 13 March 2016 at 6:15 pm

France right on the line…

French penalty, offside.. it is a penalty 5m out.
50

grootblousmile on 13 March 2016 at 6:16 pm

Would have been a pop-over penalty, France kicks for the corner though, for a 5m lineout.
51

grootblousmile on 13 March 2016 at 6:17 pm

Good defence, Scotland gets the ball and Laidlaw finds a good touch.
