**** league, **** coach and very average halfbacks and centres.

But been honest they do have players IF team is selected correctly.

 

[Jaguares]

C'mon Scotland! GO GO GO

 

[Tony Manx]

PSA has chopped and changed exactly like Lievermont and has killed any team spirit through that and, have to say, injuries. However, when he omits Trinh Duc and Parra from the squad, you have to doubt his sanity!

Edit...Cmac Rabo v Top 14....know which I would go for even if we are about to be kicked out of it!!

I'd agree league isn't problem as standard is high but agree regards half backs mentioned but even so it's crazy how they can go

It's more the muckball they play and the huge amount of foreign imports, teams may be better but it's not a league that encourages growth.

 

[Jaguares]

OUT!!!!!!!!!! Yeahhhhhhhh C'mon Scots! Amazing first half. Keep it up, lads

 

[Big Ewis]

lol.
holy shhit, there's actually a chance I'll be called "Big Bish" by the Scots on here !

Brice Mach, a disaster at the lineout. And Lapandry just doesn't have the weight and power for an int'l third rower. Machenaud can kick them 5m straight at the post, but nothing more. This isn't a whining excuse, but we do dearly miss our real starters...

And how unlucky is France with those freak tries in the first 10min of matches: North experiencing Serendipity if he ever with Doussain and Dulin, this time Hogg with Huget and Dulin. Poor France, how tough is it to start your match with that shhit. Or even Parra charged down by JP Pieterson in November at the 5th min or wtvr...

France really is unlucky, and I don't mean this as a Frenchman, but that team is not only in trouble per se, they're also unlucky. But then again we did get some luck against England...

Very good try by the Scots there on the second one.

Plisson isn't as good as I thought, I'll get back on this later...

I have my Scotland jersey on today, that's why they're winning! I just hope they can hang on to the lead for the next 40.

 

[Tony Manx]

I really do not see how, with this 10 kicking, that France can win enough territory to allow their hooker enough chances, that he needs with his throwing, for the French line out to get enough ball to win this game......they do have the runners in Mermoz, Medart and Dulin to end but who is going to create the opportunities?

Scotland now have, seemingly, enough points if they can rein in the penalties (provided Machenaud or AN Other can continue to miss them) to hold on to win this and leave the championship between one of Ireland or Wales/England.

PSA MUST reinstate Picamoles, Trinh Duc and Parra against Ireland but will he have the bravery to admit he is wrong.......he still retains Lagisquet as his assistant so have to doubt it!

 

[munstermuffin]

Is Piccamoles just out for day or how long is PSA banning him

ooh, Mermox, I like it ! Is that a new creation of yours ?

I understood it was just today but with PSA....who knows!!

BE...that all you got?!!

 

[jonny24]

Oh god, what an interception

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I'm with Jiffy, that was idiotic. 5 on 2 and they f**k it up so monumentally.
Big fan of Huget, classy player.

 

[Tony Manx]

Few more of them is what is needed!!!

 

[Jaguares]

It was clooooooooooooooose

I'd say the exact opposite, myself.
