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

France at their best were the best and at their worst weren't as bad as anyone elses.

Not a vintage 6n but they can't all be and it had it's moment.

Next year could be tasty, the landscape is changing.
 
That's not on Carley, though.
It is, the bunker is to review dangerous tackle situations and see if mitigation is applicable. Because he's sent it to the bunker they have to adjudge it as a tackle dynamics as per my understanding. The bunker can't come back and say "actually this is a headbutt this should be a straight red for violent dangerous(etc)" as per my understanding

This is true this, lots of experimentation from teams and trying to bolster their depth, next couple you'd expect teams to be a little bit less experimental and more trying to fine tune things, just the trends of WC cycles I think.

If that's the case, fine, I didn't think there was a directive to solely use the bunker in tackle scenarios.
 
France will win the Slam next year. Their only away games are Scotland and Wales. I think a French GS in 2026 is a near certainty.
 
"While referees are still able to award a full and permanent red card for "deliberate and dangerous acts of foul play", the 20-minute red card constitutes a major change to rugby union's disciplinary process."

thats interesting about speeding scrums up why don't they make the scrums half feed quicker and not jerk around at the side for half an hour before putting the ball in, whilst ref whinges about stability, put it in if it collapses make a call not wait an eternity hoping for stability before the SH puts the ball in few second rule or something like they half do with calls to use it off of rucks.
 
I honestly thought the Mauvaka incident was just a rugby incident and the yellow card sufficed. Red would have seemed harsh.
