Scotland

After two opening losses for France and a home loss for Scotland, both teams are looking to get their tournament back on track. Expect a response or implosion from France at home but also expect the same from Scotland.

This could be interesting.

Well at the moment Scotland do not look like scoring a try.

What a tackle by Grigg, he has actually done well today
I did feel they were lying g all over the ball at repeated breakdowns,.

Very much were, fair few offsides too.

I'm guessing laidlaw won't be mentioning the ref in his interview.

Ahhnh give it!!

France are knackered but we need to score!

by TheMildlyFranticLlama Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:52 pm

How many times have we lost the ball in contact now? Must be a fair few

by **BigGee** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:53 pm

It is definitely not our day

by **RDW** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:53 pm

Footballer antics from Ntmack

by **RDW** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:54 pm

How many mistakes

by **RDW** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:56 pm

Fagerson so needless!!!

by tigertattie Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:56 pm

FFS Zander. Absolutely no need to do it

by Scottrf Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:56 pm

Scotland really wanna try supporting the breaks and looking to offload.

by **BigGee** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:56 pm

France hanging on by fingernails, but the game has already gone unfortunately

by TheMildlyFranticLlama Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:56 pm

I'm going to have to join Eejit at the dentists at this rate, this is utterly inept

by **LondonTiger** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:57 pm

France almost out on their feet, but Scotland keep failing to capitalise.

by Duty281 Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:57 pm

The French look absolutely spent.

by EnglishReign Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:58 pm

Gahh, Kinghorn mate. Inside pass was there.

by **RDW** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:58 pm

That could be a try

by **LondonTiger** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:58 pm

Basteraud has had a pretty decent game.

by majesticimperialman Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:58 pm

This as been very disappointing from Scotland. France on the other hand have played some fantastic rugby.

by **NeilyBroon** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 3:59 pm

The only positive for me is that hastings has had a good game, seems he's been doing some reflection on recent form and improved

by **BigGee** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:00 pm

5m scrum

France have not got the calls today

by **RDW** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:00 pm

Another lucky decision - we got smashed in the contact which pushed us back over the line

by **LondonTiger** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:00 pm

Fair enough from TMO, poor intervention from Owens

by No 7&1/2 Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:00 pm

Is placing the ball back counted as playing it then? Didn't think it was I'd have to say.

by tigertattie Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:00 pm

Where can you buy a Georgia strip? I need someone to support that plays the basics and with a bit passion

by **LondonTiger** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:02 pm

And game over.

by whocares Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:02 pm

2nd time Fickou is denied a try . Couldn’t have picked a worst time to bet on him scoring a try Doh

by Heaf Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:02 pm

Well that's it then ...

by **BigGee** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:02 pm

Can't say France did not deserve that

Its been a comprehensive win

I should have bought more beer

by TheMildlyFranticLlama Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:03 pm

Very well deserved try. In truth they should have been out of sight by now anyway. We haven't even managed to come off second best

by tigertattie Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:03 pm

Knock knock

Who’s there

Duncan weir...............

by **NeilyBroon** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:03 pm

I think a lot of the fundamentals under Vern have been lost. We need to up our basic handling skills and cut the nonsense

by Duty281 Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:03 pm

Very poor day at the office for Scotland.

If you are holding it and place it back on or behind the line, that is grounding in goal.

by majesticimperialman Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:03 pm

France really needed this win today.

Seen some great touches of the ball from France. A well deserved win.

by **RDW** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:05 pm

Too little too late!

by Heaf Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:05 pm

How ironic is that - didn't look like scoring a try all game until it was over ...

by tigertattie Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:05 pm

See what can happen when you compete for the ball from a kick

There is not enough beer in the shop to make this watchable!

It was his language I have issue with. Declaring the onfield decision as a try, when he could have no clear view.

In truth Scotland should have really scored a couple of extra tries in the 2H if they were a bit more « clinical ».

by tigertattie Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:07 pm

Losing bonus point?

by **BigGee** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:08 pm

Gary Graham has made an impact

Just like the dark old days

by Duty281 Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:10 pm

If Scotland wanted the losing bonus point, they could have just slotted over the simplest of drop goals.

Most of the subs have

by **BigGee** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:11 pm

That's a try

by **BigGee** Sat 23 Feb 2019, 4:13 pm

No try again
