[2025 Six Nations] France vs Scotland - 15/3/25

[pagliaccio_euforico]

What's beating Wales got to do with it? Everyone's done that tart.

 

[Saintjay]

If you beat France and wales it's the jam slam

We beat Ireland last year, France this year so regardless we are moral six nations champions two years running.

 

[g6mcg]

Booo

 

[Geordie]

Oooooh big call

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Yeeeaaaaaahhhh

Nooooooooooooooo

 

[McTallshort]

Oh **** off!

2020 was the jam slam unless I'm mistaken, red card in every win. 2019 was fairly comprehensive if not an attackins spectacle.

2021 yes

Unpopular opinion.
It was all more or a grapple on the floor, I don't think there was any attempt to lead with the head, or to hit in the head. Head contact was glancing, mild and incidental.
Of course, it's also important, off the ball, and after the whistle.
With mitigation of Meafu not knowing that White had been pushed onto him, not deliberately starting something.

Calling it a headbutt is technically true, but makes it sound way worse than it was, and the degree of danger was absolutely minimal.

I'm okay with it being yellow for handbags, and let's get on with things, I'd also have been okay with it being a "harsh but fair" red. By the letter of the law, probably red, but possibly the very harshest of reds.

A deliberate act cannot be described as "the very harshest of reds". And claiming Mauvaka didn't know White had been pushed into him is grounds for mitigation is one of the weakest arguments I've heard for a long time.

The Ref and TMO clearly want a France win.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

So many worldies killed by the TMO / touchie in the last two weeks.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Even though that was ruled out, this still isn't going the way I expected.

 

[AlRums]

I would definitely say so intent and all that.

Not Seen a punch in a rugby game in about a decade when there was Bath V Gloucester match and I think both sides lost like three players.

Short memory

Scotland make France pay for Mohammed Haouas punch and red card

Scotland halted France’s run to a Grand Slam with a 28-17 victory at Murrayfield after the visitors were forced to play with 14 men shortly before half-time

I'd have liked to have seen a replay on Kinghorn being in touch. Definitely didn't look obvious.

2020 England won...your making me google stuff. 2021 was Jam Slam and your right they lost the last game by 2 points. I think it was referred to as jam slam before the game because they were on for a grand slam.

 

[McTallshort]

That's a ******* joke that. France should be down to 14 and Scotland should be winning. Utter ********

 

[AlRums]

I've no issue with deffering to bunker by default. Speeds the game up.

He took as long to decide a yellow, much much longer for the red?

 

[ChicagoKid]

Rugby constantly commits these small errors that kill the viewing experience.

 

[odw26]

Im sure if it wasn't on ITV and had to cut straight to an ad-break at half time we'd have seen the replay by now

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

French TV not showing something that's advantageous to them. The redemption arch no one expected.

 

[Flankers' paradise]

I hope Scotland formally complain to WR. And England - if france win
