France v Scotland
-
Russell’s chip ended Scotland’s chance to steal this
-
That didn’t age well
-
Cracking match this. Way better than the Wales - Pom game.

good for us to see France still has some nostalgia for matador defence in the backs.

I thought they only did that when Jonah ran at them. Good to see the Scots have that effect too.

From what I saw, VdM looked to have a horror first 50.
He’s saving himself for the WC

Penaud did a James Small on him and nullified his threat

He hobbled off with an injury which is a worry

Hopefully there’s another
South AfricanScotsman waiting in the wings ( I’m not excusing this shit pun ) just in case -

France still have two more games (Fiji and Aust) before the RWC. You'd be wanting to put some players in cotton wool as it wasn't just Ntamack that went off injured, Baille and Danty did too.
@Bovidae That Danty is a big lump isn't he. Camera planned to shots of all three (Ntamack, Danty and Baillie) in the stands, and they all looked pretty glum. Of course France will be France, but that game on home soil for them, gives me hope for the 8th. And for Scotland to run them that close at home, they are definitely beatable.

The difference in commentary for DuPont / anybody else was very very stark. He passes the ball / switches direction / runs 3 yards and the comms wax lyrical.
Anybody else does something better and it’s not really mentioned. Classic cases in the highlights there. That last Scots try the kicker is barely mentioned. Yet, duponts limited involvement in two French tries has him losing his shit.
I think he’s colossally over rated.
He’s an awesome player but he’s not head / shoulders above the rest of the planet.
