Patterson lad so well played fella on your debut so tough on last call of game, proud of you all.

[@sambridges6647]

Forever proud to be a Scottish rugby fan. Even though that was a tough loss, you did the nation proud lads. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’m so proud of being a Scotsman. Tough loss and maybe a bad ref to deal with but I’m proud of our display.

[@HibeeMcbee]

Maybe? No doubt about that!!

Ben has been a really strong addition to the squad, arguably Scotland's best player at the weekend. Really going to have to step it up against England though, a lot of travelling fans. Nothing worse sitting in Murrayfield losing with 'swing low' bellowing out. Joking aside, can't have another season of 2 wins (assuming they beat Italy).

Looks great guys

[@Keizer_Soze]

dear scotland, congratulations...youve been berry'd

[@AyeTVsco]

Congrats to Harry you were fantastic. Shame on the tmo - you weren't. Absolutely robbed of the win.

[@user-no1si2ew3q]

As far as i'm concerned we won the first 2 games! but please less kicking :)

Super Rugby Pacific are trialling new laws to combat that. What you're referring to is commonly know as Dupont's law - as he made it popular in test rugby. So here, Finn was essentially forced to kick a lot of the time due to the position of the French. The short version is you can be in an offside position but if the ball is caught from a kick and that player either passes the ball or moves 5 metres, you're back onside able to advance. The French were playing for this, thankfully Finn spotted it and didn't move or pass, just kick meaning they lose that advantage but you get the boring ping pong kicking game... Hopefully these trials prove fruitful and it makes its way through rugby.

Ben White is a very under-rated 9 outside of the Scottish support I'd say.
