Scotland v France match thread

[Tichtheid]

Here we go

[Hal Jordan]

My stream is running at Keystone Cops speed, with similar lack of sound.

[ASMO]

Penaud injured or just been fucked off out of it?

[sockwithaticket]

Barnes! I thought he'd retired from internationals?

Happy to see him in charge.

[sockwithaticket]

Penaud injured ir just been fucked off out of it?

Injured.

A 70's lingerie catalogue

[Hal Jordan]

The old turn it off and on again fixed it.

Why in heaven's name are France wearing blue shorts, thus ruining an otherwise decent kit?

[TheNatalShark]

In for a good 40 point pasting at this rate, no answer

[Slick]

If we keep giving away these idiotic penalties it’s going to be a very long afternoon

[I like neeps]

Looks like we need France to get a red card again...

[TheNatalShark]

Needed that, just something to get the moral up so can play with a bit more confidence

[Blackmac]

Barnes allows about 3 or 4 defensive offsides in a row for France before eventually pinging them

[TheNatalShark]

Lucky for this penalty for a second shot at posts, had no-one there to clear Servat. Ball protecting is very panicked

[Blackmac]

What was the French 8 thinking off

[sockwithaticket]

If France could ever erase their propoensity to give away stupid penalties...

[Slick]

Cut out the stupid penalties and we are a different team. Harris going well!

[The Druid]

WTF has Weir got on his head

It's not Weir, Art Garfunkel was called up at short notice (Scottish Granny)

[Hal Jordan]

Drop goal. Very appropriate given today's date.

[Blackmac]

Barnes allowing lot of time before declaring a maul.

And that was a ridiculous penalty against Brown, nowhere near the ball.

I hope he keeps letting it grow, & dyes it black.

[sockwithaticket]

Always enjoy seeing a droppie executed.

[Blackmac]

I do like a random drop goal. Underused points option

[sockwithaticket]

Cretin aptly named it would seem.

[Tichtheid]

That was a nonsense penalty, his hands weren’t on the ball

[Blackmac]

FFS Gray you fanny

[TheNatalShark]

That's twice Cummings has been in a weak blocker position at kick-off, risking pen and not being in a supporting position for the catcher, whom is probably getting vision obscured by Cummings as well.

That said when he is in front he definitely should not be the first arriving support player, not sure why they are being so slow getting to the rucks.

France's fetching options are awesome

If Gray didn't go down like a Jenga stack at the first contact they would have more time.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Weir looks like Head from So I Married An Axe Murderer.

Kinghorn having a mare so far

At some point soon he needs to improve. Been at the same level since he's been 19.

Thought it was Fagerson that collected, but I don't agree that him being stronger in contact would excuse the poor positioning and slow support from the other players? If that is what is being suggested.

I think there was ample time for support to get in his shoulder, it was a slow landing poor.


Team has recovered well to be level at this stage

Has he ever been international Standard?

"That elbow is almost at the throat"

I suppose the jaw is almost the throat.

[TheNatalShark]

Some very partisan programme directorship!

[Blackmac]

Leading with the elbow a bit. More careless than anything.

[ASMO]

Right decision

[Blackmac]

Looks okay to be fair

[sockwithaticket]

Barnes spot on as usual.
