Scotland v France today, France have picked a much weaker team.

Wales to continue poor form I'm sure v England.

Prime only gave me one week free this time 😟

lose / lose for Scotland. We beat france its because they are a weakened team.  Lose to them and its because we are losers 🙂

should be a good tight game - clearing up a bit here now

I will be watching via my favourite dodgy link

I can only hope Scotland beat the under strength France , I'm not confident and I am worrying about injury to our key players already.

Wales will lose ,Italy will lose.

Amazon prime interface is poor as always.

Oh happy days

I intend to be optimistic for once, at least initially. There aren't many teams I think we could possibly beat, but England are one of them. I give Wales a 33% chance today.

If Leigh 1/2p ever reads this, congratulations on your 100th cap - absolute superstar and seems like a genuinely lovely person.

Shame O keeffe has left his cards at home.  Hopefully it evens out

France look well up for it.  Scotland are clearly going for attack attack attack.   To be expected with Finn captain

Do France do dull tries? - another beauty

Thats the 4th high tackle.  2 not penalised even.  One should have been a card

I was thinking O'Keefe is quietly competent.

Generally a very good ref.  They cant get everything.   Tmo should have given the card

Apart from the scrummages the Scots pack is being demolished and the backs are forcing it from deep far too much.

Thats better.  Took them apart there.

Same as glasgow and Edinburgh do

Fagerson is a liability from what I've seen.
The yellow card/red card review worked well in the U20's imho.

Great comeback but what a poor effort at a tackle on Kinghorn there.

How did the ref/TMO not notice that the holding penalty came after the missed knock on??

It was an offside earlier

I think there was a different advantage before but it was over the other side of the pitch.

Refs giving us everything now🤣

it wasn’t. You can rewind and see. 1st infringement after the line out was the holding which was after the knock on

Can’t blame the ref for the error (no way I could remember all that stuff) but surely it’s the job of the TMO to help??

Not what the ref said.  Earlier advantage.   2 in that passage

That was fun.

Scotland made it easy for France in first half,  applied some forceful defensive pressure in second half and unsettled France

The yellow/red card thing worked well I think

The ref questioned it to the TMO, the TMO got it wrong. Mistakes happen.

What a great game though. As a neutral really enjoyed it.

Well well well.  25 nil second half most with 14 men

It seems that toonies boot up the arse at halftime did something

AA see what i mean about the wee man?  Remind you of anyone?  Maybe a welsh winger?

kind of my point. The ref clearly said he was playing advantage for holding which he wasn’t. The TMO had the chance to correct him and also got it wrong.

Have you watched it back?h

Anyway, I need to focus on making excuses for when England are awful again. That takes a lot of focus 😀

Never doubted, now off to get lightly potted and then press the buzzer and run away multiple times at a certain address in Leith….

He's not that good!!

Scotland in a nutshell, shite to world beaters again in 40mins...Fagerson is likely to miss a couple of pool games I reckon.

100 Wales caps for 1/2p plus 4 Lions caps, well done. Can't see much more positives coming from today.

RIP Clive Rowlands 👏👏👏👏👏

Wales props will need to up their games significantly to compete here.

AA - a try every 2 internationals?  I know no scot would get into the welsh team but........... 🙂

Finn very good today.  Even got a jackal penalty  He just seems to have so much time and space.  We have the backs to take on anyone in the world.  Forwards a step lower

I wonder if the french spent so much time marking Huipolotu and Finn that they left the space out wide?   Certainly we didn't get much out of huipoloto this game

Anyone noticed with O'Keffe that he gives very short advantage?  did it once in that game. make 10 m and kick the ball - advantage over even for a pen.  He is consistent with it - I have noticed it before.

Did not see that 2nd half performance coming, France looked a bit leaderless for much of the second half  you could see the lack of  game intelligence. The ref was ok didn't make any game changing mistakes. I am even beginning to like Darcy.

I rate O'Keeffe.  One of the best.  Has his quirks as they all do but I am always happy if we have him.

He'd get in the Wales team but he's not as good as Shane

Darcy beat 5 men in that match, Duhan 8.  No one else more than 2 on either side.

the combo of the two works really well.  Bludgeon and rapier
