Use this thread to discuss the incidents during the match as they happen.

Hopefully Scotland will give France a good run and beat them. Would be fantastic if they could as they have promiced so much for many years.

[Tommy David lookalike]

Its always nice to see Scotland beat France. Remember 1995? What a match that was! Good luck to both teams and may the best one win!

[eirebilly]

If Scotland keep their discipline in order and their handling skills are up to scratch, then i can see them giving France a good run.

[bsando]

Can't wait for this game tomorrow! However, statistics rather than feelings are getting the better of me. Statistically we should not win tomorrow, we should lose, and then lose again in Dublin to set up a wooden spoon decider against Italy, who I believe will be very tough opponents.

Due to the Ireland vs France match being cancelled and Wales winning the triple crown (well done btw!!) I think many may have forgotten the threat of France. For Welsh, Irish and English fans, tomorrow's game might be a good game to watch to establish a better picture of how their respective teams will fair against Les Bleus.

My opinion is that France are the team to beat. However, can Scotland damage France's 6 nations? France probably know that the real test's are up ahead.. but has that distracted them? Are Scotland just an annoyance who must be put in their place? Or do they think we could pose a threat?

I am expecting a bold effort from Scotland tomorrow. The fans are expecting it, AR is expecting it, and most importantly, the players themselves are expecting it. There is only so many times good chances can be ruined. They may not win, but I think all the silly errors, the lack of composure in a winning position and the squandered opportunities must be really beginning to get under the players skin. I can only speculate as to how the players are feeling tonight. However, this is the first time a France match has been sold out since the stadiums redevelopment. As a player, that must surely be hard to ignore...

Here's to a Scottish win!!

[MonkeyOwain12]

I'm really hoping that the Scottish go out there and go hard, I'd love to see them produce what I think they're very close to producing.
Some exciting young players without the experience of playing France will hopefully not gave a fear 'factor'.

On the other hand, France are bloody good!!

[eirebilly]

I actually have a very funny feeling about this match... I think that Scotland may get a result here today.

[rodders]

Come on Scotland!

What the hell is all this panda talk about? And zoos??? Have I missed something?!

[eirebilly]

Afternoon Cari

[monty junior]

John Inverdale is such a twit, just takes a pop at Scotland whenever he can.

[Cari]

What the hell is all this panda talk about? And zoos??? Have I missed something?!

A couple of chinese pandas were moved to Edinburgh zoo in the hope they'll shag and give baby bears. Apparently the female panda is only up for it 12 hours once a year! No pressure Mr Panda...

Awh Tommy's tries!!!

[Cari]

Monty - should've heard him yesterday on about Farrell being the next Wilko...and now he's doing it again

[monty junior]

The guy's totally inept, bigoted, just hopeless..

[Cowshot]

Castagnede: "The Scottish team is like a lovely lady: You want to know her but you don't want to marry her."

[eirebilly]

Gaby Logan got well on my nerves yesterday when she kept refeering to Ferris' tackle as a Tip Tackle. Thats just poor in my opinion.

Inverdale just gets a little over excited at hearing his own voice.

The worst for me has to be Andrew Cotter, he seriously has no clue about the game.

People slate Brian Moore but he calls it from a fans point of view and is actually quite funny.

[eirebilly]

What a stupid question to ask PSA. Are you taking the Scots seriously..... Really?

[Shifty]

Castagnede: "The Scottish team is like a lovely lady: You want to know her but you don't want to marry her."

I think something got lost in translation there...

[rodders]

Flipping hell didn't realise it was on BBC2 been sitting here watching Eastenders for the past half hour! ......mind you it was getting pretty exciting...

[Cari]

Ha Rodders! If you'd kept watching you'd end up watching Kairdiff City v Liverpool!

Matt Dawson is very bald these days....

[rodders]

To be honest Cari I'd rather watch Eastenders than listen to Inverdale and Gusgott!

Right here we go! Come on Scotland!

[Cari]

Castagnede: "The Scottish team is like a lovely lady: You want to know her but you don't want to marry her."

I think something got lost in translation there...

Perhaps he meant "You can't help screwing them and leaving them sore even though you don't mean to..."?

[monty junior]

Agreed about Andrew Cotter, he is terrible, not only that he also spread his garbage on to Golf and Tennis.

[eirebilly]

Got to love editors that zoom in on the most stereotypical fan. The French guy with his beret

I would'nt mind so much if he actually new what he was talking about....

[rodders]

Flower of Scotland is a magic anthem...one of the best for sure

[eirebilly]

Thats a strong French side...

[Cari]

How come Scotland have to play in white? Why can't France wear their white kit?

I still want one of those chicken hats too...

[Shifty]

Yes but what do the Scots shout during it at the end of every sentance?

Mcgregor or something?

[eirebilly]

That was a knock on...

[Shifty]

Don't they toss a coin over it each year?

[Cari]

Well the commentator just said Scotland are in white "...as always when the French visit..."

[eirebilly]

Drop goal?

[rodders]

Feck too much slow ball from Scotland, they need to commit numbers to these rucks! They had the same problem against England!

[Cowshot]

I'd be tempted by a dg about now...

[Biltong]

Geez, how far offside do these french have to be at the ruck before they are blown?

[eirebilly]

Superb defense from France.

[rodders]

Turn over, very poor contact skills from Scotland. France will soak this up all day.

[Cari]

Too late....possession lost.

See what I mean about Murrayfield's DJ being a bit enthusiastic. What's the point of playing the Proclaimers when Scotland have lost possession???

[rodders]

Come on now! Great chance here!

[rodders]

Slow ball again!!!!!!!!!!

[Cari]

Come on Scotland!!! Quick ball, get over...

[eirebilly]

HOGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rodders]

Hogg!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cowshot]

Woohoo! Well done Scotland!

[Cari]

GOOD BOY HOGGY!!!!!

[EnglishReign]
