Scotland vs France 6-27That was an interesting game. I don't know that much about French rugby but I was a bit surprised when a lot of names that were on the team during the World Cup last year disappeared for the Six Nations competition. Players like Michalak, Domenici, Chabal and others were missing. But as the German commentator explained it seems that the Frnech coach is trying to build up a team for 2011 so most of the squad are very young. Still this young Frnech team was all over the Scots during their match at Murrayfield last Sunday. Although they were making some mistakes in their play it always seems they outclassed the Scottish side a little bit. There were hilarious mistakes by the Scottish back players, especially one which gave the French a try. But the match had a lot more intensity than the opening game of Ireland and Italy on Saturday.
What also struck me was that they only played the first verse of "Flower Of Scotland" and then the whole audience at the stadium was singing the second verse on their own. Great stuff.
This looked very convincing for France so I am really looking forward to their match against Ireland next week.
