Who Will Win?
On Saturday 10th February, Scotland host France at Murrayfield in the Six Nations.
France will understandably enter this clash as the favourites. Even without captain Antoine Dupont, Les Bleus are a team to fear. Plus, after an early exit at a home Rugby World Cup, they enter this tournament with a point to prove.
That said, Scotland cannot be discounted from causing an upset here. Although they were eliminated from the Rugby World Cup at the pool stage, they still secured two wins from their four matches and put in two solid performances against South Africa and Ireland.

In the universe of decisions going the right or wrong way on the day - France are even now. Scotland will feel very unlucky.
But to be fair, Scotland let the game go again. Allowed the French back in. That 10 minutes of kicking tennis was a waste of valuable time that should have been used in putting another score on France who didn’t look dangerous at all today. Galthie lives to fight another day.
Scotland were absolutely, 100% definitively robbed there. I’m not the least bit of a Scotland supporter, couldn’t be further from it (I support England), but my goodness, Scotland was robbed plain as day. That ball was down and I’d call those angles as conclusive as you could get.
Agreed. It was pretty clearly down and behind the line. Where else could it have been?
But because the TMO HAS to see the ball on the ground or on the whitewash - he can’t give it. If it was given - he’d be criticized for not seeing conclusive evidence of the grounding. It looked down on the ground to me…
Berry being right there and not seeing it either, means that the conservative call is the safe call.
Less chance of death threats out of France too.
Scotland by 5 and an enormously gripping week in the media next week.
I think we’ll see tit-for-tat tries being scored. Scotland to sneak the victory. Finn Russel looked very dangerous half 1 last week. French forwards looked heavy on the feet. Scotland to run.
