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

[Leonormous Boozer]

The undisputed Lions starting 10 (apparently)

When Finbarr starts for them I'll be so smug.

Half time team talk for France:
"If they win, they'll bring the bagpipes out again"

Edwards ******* Smash them in D, avoid leading with the head though…

 

[Rinkadink]

Good vibes only.

Oh, it is. Don't spoil it by doing that.

Enjoy the game.

 

[McTallshort]

Hard to enjoy this knowing France should be down to 14

 

[Bluemoon]

Aldritt has been playing well what's going on with that early sub France! People have fantasy teams they are relying on winning with to combat the trauma of their real life team getting smashed today. I'm guessing.

Wouldnt be a "brave Scotland defeat" without an officiating controversy

 

[ncurd]

JPR style?

Tried to look it up could only find the punch part and melee afterwards.

Its Gloucester V Bath 2014. Bath won in extra time with a penalty try. Gloucester technically had 11 players on the pitch at the full time whistle.

To be fair, there's definitely a case.

I'm still undecided.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

I'll give the French credit for one thing: the fact that they're all wearing matching red boots to fit the whole French flag aesthetic is pretty boujee.

Bloody English ref

 

[TommiG88]

Wow that's harsh

 

[Jimbo]

Bloody English ref

What's he specifically done to feed the Scottish victim mentality on this occasion?

 

[TopTen2003]

Russell missing touch for a penalty to clear lines was very costly. A brilliant player but sometimes careless.

Everything and I'm English

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Don't know if it's result changing but feel like this game is dead way earlier than it should have been from bad reffing.

Scotland should have gone for a try at that lest penalty though, France were infringing constantly.

FTFY

Like an Englishman needs to "do" anything, in order to feed the Scottish victim mentality.
Isn't 300 years of history enough?

Everything and I'm English

everything doesn't answer the question on specifics, I thought Scotland was your place of birth, that makes you more Scottish than some of the Scottish team!
