Andouillette is a French coarse-grained sausage made from the intestine of pork, pepper, wine, onions, and seasonings. Andouillettes are generally made from the large intestine and are 7–10 cm in diameter. True andouillettes are rarely seen outside France and have a strong, distinctive odour coming from the colon.

Whether you think Scotland lost the heid last week or were reffed off the park, I can't see it happening again.

Equally I can't see the really quite soft performance from France last week happening again.

Looks like another Scotland vs France cracker.

Try bonus points all round and Scotland by 5.

what sort of wine, or even would you advocate champagne going into an andouillette?

can't call this game, can France be as bad again, or alternatively is there a good reason to suppose their halfbacks can be informed what a game of rugby should look like and where to put the ball? I'd be tempted to say there wouldn't be as many missed tackles from France, but there may also be a hangover from the home WC, and Galthie might not be the person you'd want to lift you out of any gloom

I thought squidge made a good point in his review. France's kicking game went to shit because Ireland was ready for it, & Lowe just fielded their kicks & returned them with interest, & once France wasn't getting anywhere with kicking, they stopped, but they didn't have a plan B.

If Scotland can do something similar, & just shut down the French kicks, & not kick loosely back to them, they can nullify Frances preferred way to pull defenses apart.

Enter the Rowitzer. He'll return those kicks with interest.

Steyn out Paterson in.

Massive call to put the young lad at full back rather than Hutchinson or even Jones to back 3 and bringing in a centre.

How the fuck is that not a penalty. Blatantly wandered around the maul unbound and slapped the ball away.

Assured start by Paterson. Two easy takes but he took them and not messing around trying to keep the ball on play.

It's how he gets there. He's clearly changing his bind.

I hope Duhan learns how effective it is when he passes. Great score.

If he gives GG offside there he had to give one v all the French after the dropped kick. Antonio prevented a pass.

Darge already competing better than Ritchie.

That was offside. Yellow card stuff from vDM.

I thought so too.

We’ve had a pass, an interception and a kick so far from Duhan, who knew he could do all that!
