Given that the apparent injury (ankle) is about as far away from his head as you can get, being taken high doesn't seem to have had much to do with it. So perhaps you could shut the fuck up, c69?

France haven’t even done very much and we are 18 points down.

Lineout crap, again. Backs look lost in defence - we are going to miss Hogg a lot more than people think

Scotland have no leader, no gameplan, no clue

This is pretty desperate from Scotland, France just needing to turn up to score

Even if Townsend had beasted them all week given its effectively pre season there is still no excuse for this.

Looking good for a first game

Pretty big step backwards here. Clearly France have great depth but we should at least be making it difficult for them.

No complaints here. Now just hopeing we show something (anything!) today.

That second try is scored because Watson got lazy.

As squad captain I would like to see Ritchie reading them the riot act in the dressing room rather than giving interviews.

England will go well at the world cup. Should make the semis then anything can happen on the day. Red card, freak result etc.

Don't think it would matter if he was or wasn't given how the forwards are playing.

Thanks to a very favourable side of the draw. We'll look crap en route and probably lose to Argentina in the pool, though.

I don't understand why our players don't give the ball to Duhan in space. Jones could have given that.

That's a knock on imo.

Summed up well by Cotter. Half the French squad fighting for their WC place whereas the Scots have little to play for.

Dumorthier is a big lad and should never be brushed aside so easily: that's one bit of Penaud similarity that is unwelcome.

Some of them should be in for a shock. At least 6 of that forward pack should be in a realistic competition for their shirt. Fagerson and Dempsey arr potentially fighting for the same shirt.

I'd have been really p*ssed if that was the decision and it was my team.

Giving yourself a lifeline in the game and then conceding the penalty straight away shows a real lack of focus.

FM. Couilloud is a mile behind Le Garrec and Lucu and now Jauneau too. No idea why he was picked. Should have been shelved after his awful displays in Aus in 2021.
