We are only going to have Garland if we can have Edwards too…..
I think either would be good, but I'd be over the moon if we got Gatland. He made Wales an incredible force with only a small no of eligible players.
Its a bribe because no other team body holds this sort of hold over players and no its not contracts. North had a contract allowing release but the PRL killed that provision
Its all about power and money to a small unnacountable group of club owners. The REFU were weak and gave them the power and by 'eck have they abused it
Wilson on the bench for Scotland. somone will get carded for sure
Quite looking forward to the game, feels like a bonus match on TV as a neutral.
I had forgotton this
When Scotland were playing Georgia in October in a designated international window the PRL asked for the scots exeter players to be released for the english cup final. Scotland obliged without question or money changing hands
This is how we are paid back, the PRL behave like utter shits over player release
The rain has to favour Scotland surely? France need an open game and that won't help.

Not sure I agree, French pack is pretty handy..
Anyway, come of Scotland you can do it!!
0-0 at the end would do
Oh flower of Scotland 😀
Scotland are making France look average to poor.
That penalty is the turning point for france, gonna win now.
Wayne Barnes.......hmmmmm.
That French scrum needs to be straighter. Not even remotely square.
I'll be disappointed if France score here, I think Scotland have been playing better all the way through.
Barnes has been a bit iffy so far.
Just bloody bin someone so the game can be played!
5 pens in a row on the line and a warning. Barnes needs to sort himself out
That was terrifyingly good, French backs are awesome in attack.
Ok my view changed after that passage of play.
Weather is ruining things really. Neither side can hold onto the ball.
exciting for the neutrals?
I actually feel a bit meh about this. Its been spoiled for me by the release row even tho its not hugely weakened scotland
exciting for the neutrals?
When France score 2 more tries I'll be getting excited!!
Give yourself 3 or 4 minutes then
Surely if it was to be a pen try it should be yellow? Penaud cost his team 2 points by scoring
Scotland just missing the vital last piece of skill each time.
Surely if it was to be a pen try it should be yellow?
I thought that too

I was thinking this too, it's s flaw in the laws. The advantage for France would be the 7 pointer and the yellow card
When I heard that this game was going to be postponed I thought it was going to be just a bit of a sad rump after a tournament that'd already been won. I was dead wrong!
Would be 20 all had Penaud not scored...farce
Yup Barnes is ****ing up here.
Surely you have to at least try to make better use of an advantage. Russell’s cross field kicks are poor.
C”mon Hogg!
His forearm smash is in good form
Hogg, Watson and Richie to go on the Lions tour.
Russell and Van De Merwe can stay at home.
Can you imagine the reaction if Farrell was yellowed for a blatant trip, followed a couple of weeks later by a red for a blatant leading forearm? Double standards??
Scotland to win after 80 minutes please!!!!!!
What are france thinking?
Yes!!!!!!!!!
Behind the sofa.
Never in doubt
Wow, what a game at the end, well done Scotland!
What the **** was that all about, why didn't France kick it out?
Well played Scotland but WTAF was going on?
Well done Scotland !!
Congrats to Wales
That's one of the most heroic tries I've ever seen!
And what a tournament too. I thought it was going to be rubbish at first but I was dead wrong!
Bizarre end to a bizarre tournament. Great entertainment though!!
Hastings looked good
