[QUOTE="Desi75, post: 990834, member: 82839"] Sometimes, those « side games » offer really good spectacle, because the players and teams don’t feel as much pressure to play tight and feel more relaxed to dare. My instinct tells me this Scotland France could be one of those. I’m rooting for the bleus, of course, but not in the sense of winning at any cost, what I want to see is improvement, expansion of the possibilities, see where the players pick it up and how far further they bring it, hopefully it’s going to be in the same vein than the last games. That’s the « new » French mentality, we don’t really care if they win or lose, we want to see a step in the direction of a realistic dream. Teddy Thomas is out of the squad. For good, presumably. Penaud to the rescue. Plus, flower of scotland at murrayfield alone makes it worth the watching. Have no idea where Scotland is at, tbh, I expect movement and speed from them. They have nothing to lose, do they ? That should allow them to play with a free mind and no fear. The family story of Gregory Adritt makes for a nice addition to the game, you don’t see French-Scottish players that often.
