You’re starting to sound like a football “fan”…if you hate whining about refs, stop doing it.
When have I said I hate whining about the ref?
Scotland seem to regularly have issues getting the ref on side or possibly dealing with a ref who is seemingly giving more decisions against them. It seems to cause them to come mentally unstuck so it's a double whammy disadvantage.
Need to sort it.
Aimed at me Bruce 🙂
Everyone looks out on their feet. Another 15 minutes and they’ll be on their knees.
Mind you early on I saw Russell looking grim - he plays best with a smile on his face. I knew then it was going to be tough
Today is not our day. Had Hogg not knocked on.... Oh well, it's only a game
Ah, cool.
Cause whining about the ref is like 95% of the reason I watch rugby.
The other 5% is Marcus Smith's hair.
Reffing errors aside, there's some fabulous handling and short passes and offloads for the neutral.
I didn't know the French were fans of dodgy WW2 films though?
If I was Italy I'd be thinking of going back to the strategy of targeting the Scotland game.
Slightly more impressed now with how Ireland fared a couple of weeks ago sans Sexton. This France side/squad is something else.
France have been utterly ruthless.
And as I’m typing that’s a superb try from Scotland.
France do look very good. should feel fairly confident of the grand slam. worthy winners in the end no doubt.
The other 5% is Marcus Smith’s hair.
surely Ntamacks hair? He has the best hair of any player in the 6N. Smiths just got the poor mans version 🙂
Scotland playing good rugby but France are aiming for the world cup.
Dupont is getting better and I can see him being world class.
If France get a water tight defense then it's game on for the world cup.
I went through an Ntamack's hair phase, but I think that was just a rebound thing after Meatball got a haircut.
Dupont is getting better and I can see him being world class.
I would say he was already. who is a better 9? DeKlerk?

That’s exactly what I thought! If he’s not smiling it’s not going to end well!

The really worrying thing is that's two games in a row he's not looked happy.
I'm beginning to wonder if there's trouble in the camp again.

Damning with feint praise or have you been under a rock for the last few years?
Can't stand ITV rugby coverage 😟
Superb French performance, be nice to have a bench like that though..😁
Brace for impact!!! Hope Talupe is up to it!
Well I thought France played very well, but they let Scotland into the game for a good period. If Scotland had had more composure, better discipline and not tried to force things in the final part of attacks, then I think it could have been far closer.
England will show today if they can challenge France in Paris.
Shit start from Wales
Shit start from Wales
France also had a shit start.
That worked out well for us.

I don't share your optimism!!
Watkin offside there surely?
Hope Adamson has a better game than last time I saw him ref!
Brain dead stuff from Wales so far!!
I don’t share your optimism!!
As a neutral I can afford to be optimistic. If it was Scotland I would be worrying that any semblance of optimistic thoughts would jinx the team and lead to a huge loss.
I was feeling kind of hopeful going into the French game and look what happened.

+1 😬
It’s not high on quality in Twickenham so far. That first scrum must have taken about five minutes of game time. Feels like the penalty count will sort the result. Would prefer it was the rugby.

Ref winning so far!
Don't want fatty Francis off for this scrum!! 😮😮😮😳
How does anybody enjoy watching sport?
This is grim!!
FFS, scrums are awful. Just give the side with the scrum a free kick. Taking up way too much game time.
I never know who to blame but the ref doesn't seem to be insisting on stability first.

I hate scrums too. Nothing better than when a game goes to uncontested scrums imho

Aye, same here. It’s supposed to be top class rugby though - shame to see so much time being taken up with scrums. If Moore was back commentating, he’d be having a fit. 😀
Tompkins does appear to be good at organising the defence.
Dan Biggar really should have been a footballer; waving and pointing and generally being an embarrassment.
Cuthbert having a good game so far. Wales look the most dangerous in attack to me.
Only 3 points conceded against this team of world beaters when a man down isn’t too bad. Hoping for a better second half.

They look a lot more threatening than they did against Scotland.
Crucial few mins now
Biggsar makes me laugh with his handwaving. I don't mind it because its not petulant IMO
