France v Scotland

[sparky]

Excellent second half performance from France so far. They are heading for the Championship.

[Kruse]

All over.

LBB is the best winger in the world and i don't think it's close

[sparky]

France 35 Scotland 16 with 15 minutes to play.

Bielle-Biarrey outstanding. Party time coming on the Champs-Elysées.

[sparky]

Van Der Merwe has been very quiet tonight. France have contained him well so far.

[MN5]

Shit, was looking good til that try got disallowed.

Ah well, they'll still get a few Lions on the plane to Oz mid year.

Miles Harrison and Jim Hamilton - the Laurel and Hardy of Rugby commentators.

I think Jim Hamilton is the UKs Joe Wheeler from what I've seen.

[Kruse]

French just can't help Frenching.

We're stopping the game for a guy standing up now?
Rugby, fucking hell.

Fuck the TMO off for good

I absolutely love it

[Steven Harris]

@mariner4life TMO should give himself an uppercut

[mariner4life]

TMOs are fannies who were bullied in school

[Steven Harris]

French are some side they looked totally rattled going into halftime but found their mojo in the 2nd half
Congratulations to the French the ABs will have to be on their game

[sparky]

France richly deserve the Six Nations title. At their best, they are superb.

[sparky]

@MN5 Similarly stupid but more bland.

[mariner4life]

I'm an unashamed fan of this French team. Big powerful forwards, fast skillful backs. They play very attractive rugby, on both sides of the ball.

I like how they select too. I can't help but think if ramos, penaud, or Ntamack were in the ABs then journos and message boards would run them out of town (if they could get in).

Scotland were playing well but failed - as usual - to convert their occasions into points. France were clinical. Not brillant but efficient.

I think the only mildly surprising thing this Six Nations is that England finish ahead of Ireland.

Other than that very predictable.

Without having seen this game Scots have had so many "rabbit in the headlights" moments traditionally, guys making breaks, freaking out and looking for support rather than pinning theirs ears back and having a real go.
