Have you got 2 bp? Whatever, you’d be off the bottom by 5 pm tomorrow.
We would have lost to Scotland and Italy by less than seven.

Re: Scotland vs France Match Thread

Bill McLaren used to like to say, ‘French ball, Roumat has it’ Adele knicked Bill's line :shock: Took me a second, but that's a great comment He never said, but should have - Blakeway scores a breakaway try. Laidlaw has been laid low by a high tackle. Tukalow took a low pass off his bootlaces.
