Bennett kicks ball against French player but Hogg is in position to tidy it up, still playing inside Scotland half
France knock on, scrum Scotland near their 10m line
@ BrumbiesBoy:Actually, re-reading your comment, I haven’t got a clue what you just said – apart from the fleecing cullerts
Beattie itching to come back on, but he is still on the sideline and Scotland running the ball inside their half
So many French hands in the ruck not being picked up
Eish, Huget, so close
France steal the ball and France lose it forward near Scotland’s try line as earlier Visser left a gap as he ran fast and went for the intercept, pity if he had got the intercept he may have been away and scored but scrum instead near Scotland tryline
Bastereuad subbed off, Beattie back on good with the scrum now
Bully, how long till we see McStrauss on the side of the scrum?
With 7 minutes left and Scotland pinned in their half am beginning to think that this is France’s game
….or back of the scrum!
France have been using Spedding quite a bit
131 @ Just For Kicks:
I think it is a few days before Scotland’s first World Cup game that he will be able to be picked, could do with his strength.
Luck of the bounce just hasn’t gone the Scots way today.
Wow, watched 2 X 6N matches and both brilliant rugby. Lets hope the rest of the tournament is the same
Cruel bounce of the ball was good thinking by Russell to run and chip, France got possession instead but Scotland get a penalty and Russell puts it into touch, 4 min left come on Scotland we need a try
ARGHHH penalty to France for holding on, should kick it over and win the game
Thats just not right. Tackler not releasing, so often this match has been the same. That was another penalty the wrong way
Lopez lines it up and it is over!
Two minutes left France 15/8
Hildago Clyne gets his first cap for Scotland on for Laidlaw – 79th min
Scots trying a bit too hard, but the improvement this year by both them and the French has been a joy to see
Spedding looks French
141 @ Just For Kicks:
I think we are seeing the benefit of having a very good coach in Vern Cotter
France win. France 15/8 Scotland
Good win by the French, but great game from both sides, and very happy with the Scots performance. Nice.
143 @ Bullscot:Agreed. Have a good evening Bully. Cheers.
Well done to France, on the balance of play they probably deserved to win but they certainly didn’t run away with this. Scant consolation for Scotland to have scored the only try in the match
146 @ Just For Kicks:
Cheers JFK have a good night there, regards to all.
Think Lopez was man of the match, missed it
Hopefully the injuries to Seymour and maybe Dunbar not too serious
