        The Scots are missing their best forwards. France should win this one, too much firepower up front.

          The Auld Alliance match is a great weekend in Edinburgh.

          Countries joined by the love of whisky and the hatred of the English.

            Pretty sure that’s all rugby playing nations?

              Magnus Bradbury is a big hard running unit. Keen to see how he goes in this one.

                This one transcends rugby.

                  Scotland flanker Hamish Watson will miss Saturday’s Six Nations match against France after returning a positive test for coronavirus.
                  
                  Edinburgh back-row Nick Haining moves into the starting XV for the Murrayfield clash and will play on the blindside, with Rory Darge switching to openside flanker.
                  
                  Saracens’ Andy Christie comes into the matchday 23 and could make his Scotland debut from the bench.

                                  Stupid penalty from Scotland leads to France going to oranges 19-10 to the good when it could easily have been 17-12 to Scotland

                                  Superb half

                                                France is(maybe was) Scotland’s largest export market for whisky.

                                                NB: historically the political relevance was massive. Kept England in check for a very long time.

                                                                      Cut the bullshit. It was bog standard England bashing.

                                                                      What. Fucking. Ever.

                                                                      But if you want to saddle up a different horse and ride it into the sunset go ahead.
