How angry does Galthie look?

I was about to get really angry at Ritchie and Haining for getting the penalty reversed.

Well, you're about to get fantastic chance to prove or disprove this theory

Reminds me of Vahaamahina’s moment of folie at the World Cup

Fucking yes.

Really needed that.

Great to see a bit of urgency from us to get the penas and the try.

Haha, yes. One of the goals must be to run it about now and tire them out. If it comes off (not presuming!) it could be good for our confidence.

... but we do need to improve to pull it off.

Game over, the ref never wanted to look at what happened to Fickou at the reception of the ball nor the start of the fisticuffs..

Too bad Haouas had to do that sh..T...

Bitter taste that first half

Galthié will be giving his players a hell of a halftime bollocking. It’ll take a miracle to come back now. It’s yours to lose now.

Sorry Tigs, none of it would have made a difference after he closed that fist.

I’d back yourselves if I were you. A red puts the pressure on us to win. We rarely manage to use that as a motivator.

So this is going to gloss over a lot of Scottish problems

Maitland running in treacle today but still having a great game.

Watson’s work to be there and clear out after the Price/Harris break was fantastic.

France have lost their minds

Good attemp to invoke the gods. Not sure I appreciate Brian Moore doing the same when he says that we should win from here. If there's any team that can screw it up, it's Scotland. If there's any side that can take advantage, it's France.

I know, it's just stupid that the fate of a game is decided upon such a thing

Aye, the ref who let a Scotland player be put on his head without a red has been the root of your problems. Following the laws that is a red regardless of whether we think it should be.

It was pushing and shoving and your prop threw a punch. Fickou could easily have been given a yellow for taking a cheap shot and tackling Ritchie after he was punched.

The scots not at 10 meters, off side...anything goes ..

Brown has done some slightly off things today and looks a bit knackered. Now would be a perfect time for Rambo to make an impact.

Well, it's stupid that a player would ruin his teams chances by do something so foolish.

Thanks ref...

Oh dear....

Haining looks fucked, again, but if Watson’s injured not much we can do about that.

Hastings yet again with the high tackle. I know we don’t want him buried in rucks but he really needs to sort that out.
