Can’t remember who is on the French bench, but I suspect we need to be ahead by 60.

Price runs the defensive line to block that and totally fucks it. So frustrating.

He's just not good enough at this level. There's a minimum of one clanger of a mistake from him every game.

Knee on the ground isn't it?
That would make sense right enough

For absolute fucks sake, turns out it's one of 'those' rugby rules. If it's from a kick, none of the above matters? Summat like that.

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

He did everything right up to the point he needed to make the critical intervention.

Can't really fault Kinghorn or Hogg as the damage was done.

Our attack looks blunter than a blunt thing that has been blunted. It isn't just a missing Finn thing.

We really don't have many ideas in attack do we?

Thought M Fagerson tried to take the French lad’s head off there. I’ll keep quiet!

Immediate impact from Faegerson though. I'd be ok if he never plays for Glasgow again so that he's always fit for internationals. We have no depth behind him

France keep being crap at the restart. They are nearly brilliant though

We have two game breaking wingers (one more than the other) and haven't worked out how to get them decent ball.

Slow to the forwards is clearly preferred to just one little pass more to a flying winger

Are we going back 10-15 years? Stop fucking dropping it and taking pop passes when standing still.

Yeah not good.

Some pretty poor kicking from a few so far.
True. Was thinking if this turns into an arm wrestle that favours France on account of them being humungous, but actually it mightn't be so bad, we're pretty scrappy

Watson off for Thomson? We just lost a good few yards/turnovers.

In which case you may as well involve them in attack? Or what's the point in selecting then.

FUCKING change tactics you dickheads, they're a converted try up. Aiming to win by getting penalties in kickable positions isn't going to cut it

Well, we know what Steve Tandy’s going to give the forwards for homework.

Also, we just haven’t really caused France any problems. We’ve given them nothing to think about so far.
