6 Nations with Spoilers

Great discipline from Scotland, what France were doing lobbing the ball around is beyond me.

They were too tired to do anything else. They were at the "hoping for a miracle" stage.

 

[AndyRM]

Not true. It's a fact that NZ have pushed the boundaries and rules for years and got away with it.

Er, yeah, that's what I'm saying...

 

[Daddy Pig]

Er, yeah, that's what I'm saying...

I'm being polite to NZ... clearly they are getting away with breaking the rules...

Some French players not taking defeat well - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-43034102

A number of of French rugby players have been taken off their return flight to Paris by police following reports of a late night incident in Edinburgh, BBC Scotland understands.

In a Tweet the French Rugby Union confirmed some players have been spoken to by the Scottish authorities.

The team flight to Paris Orly, which was due to leave at 11:00, remains on the tarmac at Edinburgh Airport

I am going to see Wales-France on March 17th in Cardiff. B&B booked, car park booked. Excited now as it will probably be the only time I will do this. Can't wait even if I don't expect France to win. The atmosphere and ambiance in Cardiff on the day should be an unforgettable experience. There will be 7 of us: 4 Frenchmen coming specially from France and 3 of us from North Wales. Great weekend to look forward to!

Should be great atmosphere... hope it's a great match too ... enjoy!

It's a fantastic day out, the stadium being in the city centre makes it unique.

Six nations again - I feel that France will have to be very incompetent to lose against Italy tonight - Wales if they take their A game to Dublin ought to be in with a shot - The only danger to England is themselves - if they take the Scots too lightly

France are so scrappy. Just not clinical enough and fitness might make a big difference after 60 mins. France seem to carry a lot of weight around.

 

[Beebo]

Shows how much I know. France are now 17 points clear. Will they get a bonus point?

No

somehow France up to the 60min mark created more ways of throwing away try opportunities - should have won by lots more

[QUOTE 5162235, member: 43827"]Ah well. We nearly stole it but it would have been a travesty if we had. Wales just couldn't handle the Irish pressure.

Looks like a last match play-off for the Grand Slam between England and Ireland.[/QUOTE]

Or not. Good for Ian Robertson though, his last match commentating at Murrayfield for the Beeb and he is going to see a rare Scotland win against England.
