Scotland: 15 Blair Kinghorn, 14 Darcy Graham, 13 Huw Jones, 12 Sione Tuipulotu, 11 Duhan van der Merwe, 10 Finn Russell (c), 9 Ben White, 8 Jack Dempsey, 7 Hamish Watson, 6 Matt Fagerson, 5 Grant Gilchrist, 4 Richie Gray, 3 Zander Fagerson, 2 Ewan Ashman, 1 Pierre Schoeman
Replacements: 16 Dave Cherry, 17 Jamie Bhatti, 18 WP Nel, 19 Scott Cummings, 20 Rory Darge, 21 George Horne, 22 Cameron Redpath, 23 Ollie Smith

France: 15 Brice Dulin, 14 Louis Bielle-Biarrey, 13 Emilien Gailleton, 12 Yoram Moefana, 11 Ethan Dumortier, 10 Matthieu Jalibert, 9 Batiste Couilloud, 8 Yoan Tanga, 7 Sekou Macalou, 6 Paul Boudehent, 5 Bastien Chalureau, 4 Cameron Woki, 3 Demba Bamba, 2 Pierre Bourgarit, 1 Jean-Baptiste Gros
Replacements: 16 Peato Mauvaka, 17 Reda Wardi, 18 Sipili Falatea, 19 Paul Willemse, 20 Dylan Cretin, 21 Baptiste Serin, 22 Antoine Hastoy, 23 Arthur Vincent

For France, U20 captain and T14 top try scorer Gailleton to watch. Can Bamba resurrect his career? Will Macalou be given a full chance against the side where his post match antics pretty much ended his intl career?

Gailleton and Bielle-biarrey showing had they played against Ire in the U20, Fra would have won by 100. :wave:

Beautifully done, but looked far too easy.

Whereas I would have yellowed Macalou for that one: lazy tackling technique.

That's fucking brain dead from Scotland. Who actually takes so far past the ruck as to get penalised these days?

Maybe. It looked like a knee/leg injury and on the live view, I thought he did it as he slipped down: the slip resulting in the high tackle.

{EDIT} Saint there first.

It was a pretty solid swing to be honest. Not a friendly and he definitely walked for 10.

Are you actually watching the game or simply making stuff up to suit your agenda? Fantasy seems to be where Welsh rugby is at these days.

Worse given this a C team :lol:

Sco need to play to a game plan to win this. Harem scarum against a scratch team seems a poor tactic.

If Watson hadn't been a shitebag and dived on the ball at midfield it would never have happened.

This game generally means fuck all but showing no desire is worrying.

Well, Sco have probably killed my FR picks here :lol:

Most went with Fra: presumably having not bothered to look at the team sheets.
