Scotland by 8. Keep France at zero points in the standings.
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?laurent wrote: Fri Feb 09, 2024 8:33 amadd enough mustard oignons or wine and you'll be fine
Scotland by 6
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.

Hoping the signal holds up to watch the game with some French volunteers here in Izyum

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

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!

Something isn’t working in our midfield defence.
