Scotland v France | Extended Highlights | 2022 Guinness Six Nations

[@yoe91]

France have always had top level individual talent. This period is no different for the talent on the field, but now they also have what was missing for 10 years: an actual elite international level coaching staff. Witness the result.

[@snowmotion9921]

Yes and no. I agree that we have the best coaching staff we ever had but we also have one of the best generation of players and top level quality players were definitely missing for those 10 years. When you see that not a single player from 2018's Scotland-France was on the field for France this year I think it's a clear sign that we didn't have the players.

[@SB-or7cx]

To me, the staff is good, right, but this generation is especially good, complete and abundant ! The quality of the said substitutes is much impressive.

[@Sindor33]

Tu va en avoir des vidéos à monter!

[@johnnibaz6883]

Nah come on the batch of players nowadays just doesn't compare. Penaud is worth three Hugets and you wouldn't want a Kockott, a Tillous-Borde and a Parra for the price of half a Dupont would you? Just to think that one could factually define Rémi Talès and Romain Ntamack as both equally "International fly halves for France" is almost insulting for Ntamack. Even the best players France had in the dark ten years, let's say Picamoles or Guirado... they wouldn't really cut it into this team would they?

What a game! Great skills on both sides 🏉 For Jaminet, it was clearly not his best day. I thought those days where we missed countless points because of our footwork were gone. But I'm absolutely sure it was just a bad day for him. No consequences. This guy gave us so many points in previous games with an impecable consistency. So long live our team! Et ALLEZ LES BLEUS !!!

[@romainviry3185]

I guess Galthié's strategy is to bring him quickly to international level experience. He allows for a medium game as long as it sticks into Melvyn's memory. Dulin knows all of that, he's the back up with tons of experience. We're gonna be a happy crowd when both Melvyn and Brice will be both tested as they should to face the biggest challenges ahead

Really good game. French were superb and congrats. stepping up every game. I still thought they would win despite supporting Scotland.

Good luck to France and the rest of the nation's as well. Awesome rugby.

Against Italy, it will be easy to win. Scotland is one of the best team UE and international. It will be a strong team during the world cup. I want to see Scotland vs South Africa ! Opposite style.

@@Kushiba.Sensei I do have confidence that Sco can be beat Italy but they need to still have a complete performance and work on issues they are currently are having. Then hope we can overcome away worries and put a good performance against Ire away which is an even bigger challenge. I would also enjoy to see SA v Sco again if Sco is at 100% and also France V SA as well if possible.

France is the best team of the moment for 3 "staff" reasons: they achieve the perfect balance between a monstrous defence (Shaun Edwards) fabulous attacking combinations (Galthié) and a great club mentality and fighting spirit (Ibanez).

I remember watching France crucify teams in the six nations around 15 years ago, with the likes of Jauzion, Traille, Nallet and Chabal, and i fucking hated it as an Irish fan living in France... now it seems that that French killer instinct is coming back and i'm already depressed. To think that some of their key players are in their early 20s is scary! But to be fair they have 14 top level club sides to pick from, so i'm going to console myself by thinking that this should just be normal for them.

[@SB-or7cx]

On the contrary, there is a big discussion in France about that! Some people say that the Top 14 was one of the reasons why we had such a poor team during years. Top teams recruited lots of foreign players and the youngest French could not play with their clubs. Now, thanks to the rules, these players are allowed to play for the French team and the clubs understood that young players must also play. So it gives us a large choice of players, compared to 10 years ago...

Additionally, it was Scotlands advantage but 20 seconds later we knocked it on yet he still gave the scrum to France instead of going back for the penalty! What was that about?
