This will be very interesting
If Scotland pick a second string they'll get murdered
If they pick a full strength side which gets easily beaten then that throws their RWC plans into turmoil
-
There's some average players in that French team. Scotland should knock over a selection with a spine of no-names like Alldritt, DuPont & Ntamack.
-
@antipodean Not to mention over the hill geriatrics like Fickou.

This slipped by me and most I'd suggest

What an absolute joke
The guy is an absolute cun*
Three match ban with the third match replaced by a 'speed awareness course', sorry I meant 'coaching intervention programme' so he is available for the SA match in the RWC
This cun* will learn nothing from that 'programme'
He learned nothing from this action and RC
Makes my blood boil
-
Virtually identical transgressions. Serial offender and he gets two games?
-
@MiketheSnow I think it was Josh Dickson who came back from a ban and the "speed awareness course" in super rugby, waltzed on the field and made his first action a shoulder to the head.
If you want it to stop, punish them properly.

@pakman said in France v Scotland:
Scotland noticeably weaker when branch comes on.
Is this an obscure Dunsinane hill reference?
Bring me no more reports; let them fly all:
Till Birnam wood remove to Dunsinane,Oh, bench? As you were.
-
Really looking forward to this game, and after the Eng v Wales stodgy appetiser am hoping it doesn’t disappoint.
-
One of the commentators described the teams as playing with power, passion and panache. Struck me as 3 elements missing from the Eng Wales game. Listen to the French belt out their anthem!!! love it
-
Russell’s chip ended Scotland’s chance to steal this
-
That didn’t age well
