What news of French injuries / replacements after the Ireland game?

Beauxis Couillou and PICAMOLES in

Dupond season over
Jalibert out for the tournament
Gourdon out for 3 weeks

YONEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

France by 10+

I think Scotland will win. All depends on the conditions.

If it's dry, Scotland will run the legs off them.

The worst thing Scotland can do now is go completely the opposite way to how they have been playing and take on France in a forwards battle.

Looking forward to watching good running rugby by Scotland.

What does Yonel mean?

Says something about French depth when you can bring in Picamoles FFS

Having said that Gourdon is a handy player and had a good game v us last year so you'll miss him

For us, really don't think we'll be as bad this weekend (saying that with 25% hope, 75% expectation) but it all depends on our selection in the back row and centres. Get those right and I'll back us to win.

Scotland by 12. Some line-up changes, home advantage and a kick up the arse should see them home

Have you seen the weather forecast!

Although Ireland looked a little toothless in attack I thought France looked like they'd really worked on their defence, and won't be as porous as they were previously. Scotland survived against the Wales scrum but I think France will look to destroy them there, and it could be a very long day for their front five.

Of course we won't. We're not Irish.

Whinge?? We won the match.

Are you accusing us of being sore winners?

Jolindien, denied. The Irish do a good enough job on their own of Irishing a thread without yours or my help

Thy have them planned for the 60 and 70 minute mark, with an HIA or two thrown in to slow the game down and fiddle who can come back on, depending on how the match is going for them.

I have to say I'm really looking forward to the French supporters arriving in Edinburgh for the weekend. Always good for a laugh and we could all do with a smile after the weekend.

I suspect come Sunday we will be past disappointment and fired up for a decent display so hopefully Murrayfield will be jumping.

Love the French. But no trying to chat up my wife while I'm standing next to her like you always do.

No, you certainly aren't.

France are going to get pumped, the backlash is going to be of biblical proportions - and fuck the mockers

French and Italian matches are my favourites by a long way. Last French game at Murrayfield was one of the best atmospheres I can remember with both sets of supporters giving it laldy even though Scotland were pretty well beaten.

Eh, last game at Murrayfield against the French we won. Taylor played his best game in a Scotland shirt...

Probably because the French were happy they had Scotland well beaten and the Scots were happy they were winning the match?

BTW, you know the Scotland revival is on when my wife and older son are coming to games. Mrs W has not been to a game in at least 8 years, my older son something similar.

I presume that false memory is caused by 'giving it laldy'. Whatever that is

Oooops It was the September RWC warm up match I was thinking of.

I was even at the 6N games Scotland won.

Age is a terrible thing.

It was still one of the best matches i have ever been to, the first experience for my girls at Murrayfield who have yet to see Scotland lose (live)
