    Have to say, if they weren't hosting it, I'd be giving France a roughly 0% chance of winning the World Cup based on what I've seen of them in the last three games. They do have a chance as hosts of course, but they definitely don't look like the team they were built up to be last year.

    Good chance for Scotland to make amends for their last botched 5m attacking scrum.

    Scrum from where the ball was kicked or penalty where the offside player was

    I thought it was kicked from much further up the pitch is why I asked, maybe I'm completely wrong...

    Fair play Scotland. France are going the way of Ireland in 2019.

    France worse today than against us. Less interest in the tournament after a loss.

    As much as our WC record of not getting past the quarter final is brought up France have similar failure.

    3 lost finals and poor exits like 2007 to England after beating the ABs in the quarter.

    France were blessed that Scotland overthrew that. They'd shown zero ambition in their previous attacking phases. Ramos had dropped into the pocket for a lineout.

    Bonus points and Ireland on their mind in not taking the three there.


    Probably not saying anything that most here didn't already know but we will get nothing easy in Murrayfield. Even if they don't win here a first triple crown in the professional era would be massive for them. It's going to be a cracker I think.

    Could be a hard loss for the Scots. A winnable game.

    Jaysus.

    What a scrum from France. Completely ruined the Scotland attacking plan, forced Hogg to run not on his own terms and allowed France to swarm the breakdown.

    Good enough for the Scots, not sorry to see them beat.

    Murrayfield will be a battle but you can bank on Scotland to make a half dozen stupid mistakes and another few astoundingly bad decisions.

    Sorry, can't agree. Was going to give a yellow until his team advised him that red was the right call. Missed the second Jelonch incident and has been inconsistent with regard to the breakdown. For instance, he penalised Scotland for hands on the ground before winning a turnover yet rewarded Dupont for the exact same thing. That's not excellent.

    As for Hurley, maybe she should stick to what she's played and knows, camogie.

    So either France or England winning without the BP on the Saturday would mean that a BP win for us on the Sunday against Scotland would win us the championship with a game to spare?

    France started brilliantly, but never really got going again after the red cards, and were generally poor, I thought. Partly down to Scotland's performance, but I still think people are overstating Scotland as a threat. That was pretty much as good as they get, and they still couldn't beat a French side that was nowhere near their best. Penaud was very quiet, Ramos had a poor game, some of their players just seemed to lack their usual intensity.


    Thoroughly entertaining game to watch, though!
