Thought Médard was ahead of the kick for the try.

France look certain for the Grand Chelem, after only 12 minutes.

irishbucsfan

How people write off France on these forums, I'll never know.

Lievremont is a legend.

Ninja edits save my typo blushes....:o

RuggieBear

france are offloading awesomely!

Noffles

France look really good, everytime they start to run it could be a try.. and the scrum is demolishing Scotland!

funky penguin

Good work from Scots!

TRY!

Parks should convert.....

brianthebard

Great fight back by Scotland, this is going to be the game of the weekend.

tolosenc

irishbucsfan

hopefully, previous two games have been ****ing woeful

10-7.

Definitely soft in the middle, hard running paid off well.

Very soft try to concede. Think Fr will win well nonetheless.

funky penguin

Game is ebbing and flowing nicely, hopefully Scotland continue to front up. Dammit I love seeing the French in full flight.

RuggieBear

this will be a peno try. barnes has already decided

RuggieBear

thats bs from the ref imo. france side goes down it is reset. lol

liammur

That Fr scrum will punish us. Had to be a penalty try.

funky penguin

And it eventually comes.....

Penalty try France.

15-7, soon to be 17-7.

brianthebard

lol one handed offloads are a bit optimistic.

funky penguin

But oh so French!

Noffles

Great game so far... nice and fast... Scots need to avoid the scrum though...

Icky Thump

why arte scotland called "eco" on the rte coverage??

funky penguin

Ecosse is the French for Scotland. RTE get the feed from a French station.

handsomecake

ellisalde,yachvili,galthie,parra , dupuy............they keep churning them out.most of them goal kicking too

It was one of the terms of the IMF bailout to put matches broadcast from France in French... I presume.

RuggieBear

how the **** is that not pushing before the ball is in?

oh ok just seen eccose come up on the screen there aswell:D thanks

anyway great game so far

sock puppet

Game of the weekend so far. France are far too soft in defence but it makes for some entertaining rugby at least.

stephen_n

some defensive frailties from the French alright can't understand why Scotland aren'tattacking up the middle at pace more as it seemed to really work well for them.

brianthebard

epic pass by trinh duc to set up that try.

brianthebard

great work by scotland. Man this game is all over the place.

RuggieBear

that was pathetically soft

Ansbro is a fair strong runner

looks very handy alright.

RuggieBear

nice

LuckyGent88

Ireland would not want to give away the same turnovers as they did today or we are screwed against the French

funky penguin

Great heads-up try. Lovely off loading.

stephen_n

For as good as France have been at times the scoreline is flattering them.

brianthebard

scotland have looked pretty good despite the scoreline you could almost believe Hook is right to say they will finish 3rd and possibly above us.

Nice try by Lamont.

ongarite

Scotland will cause the home nations some big trouble this season.
They are playing a great game tonight.

Stev_o

Two best teams we'v seen so far.

Sherifu

Great game, the way rugby should be played.

chalkitdown1

Classic stuff from Hook there about the chickens

barbarians

George Hook talking shíte again.


It was the English who invented Champagne not the French
