    Got to question the Scottish mentality as this type of thing is happening too often.

    The bizarre thing about this inconsistency is it wouldn’t even surprise me if we beat France in a couple of weeks time.

    Wales were there for the taking today. We were pish though.

    Giving away too many penalties and don’t have a clue what we were trying to do with our kicking game. Just gifting possession to them on numerous occasions.

    Agree with the comments re Scotland´s game.
    Very disappointing game, it looked like they weren´t properly switched on.

    This year´s Six Nations is up for grabs.
    I´m thinking France will edge it, but it will likely be wide open on the final day.

    Never seen a game of Rugby, but i will catch one soon as it seems to be a entertaining sport.

    But i searched on some clips on Youtube and came across some sort of ritual at the beginning of the game where both teams done some extremely weird dance, screaming and all that. I was in shock tbh thinking what the * am i watching lol

    It is definitely still up for grabs but France the clear favourites now after beating us.

    Disappointing we could not quite pull off that second half come back. But the French were just that bit better then us on the day with their rucking and that was the difference for me. They turned us over quite a few times in the ruck. It was close and we showed real character but they were just a bit better on the day.

    France pumping Scotland, even at 4/11 was printing money.

    This is here for Scotland if they want it, Darge has been excellent but Hogg has to score that try.

    This is a Scotland performance.

    Everything going against us. Decisions, bounces.

    Spectacular moves against us and killer moments for us.

    Never a 31-10 game and it might get worse

    Been dreadful the full tournament.

    Missed tackles, isn’t kicking and when he carries the ball he’s isolating himself and being turned over.

    Rory Darge is going to be special. The return of Mark Bennett looked good and the debut Andy Christie looked a decent ball carrier too.

    France has got something special going. Very enjoyable to watch, and depth in quality.

    For the sake of drama, it would be good if it's all to play for in Paris on the final day.
