Round Three Redux? Round Five-and-three-quarters? In any case, Welsh fans will be biting their nails, or any other available substance, and wondering if France can win with a bonus point and 21 points to deprive them of the title.
Scotland will no doubt have plenty to say about this, as a win with a six-point points advantage will put them second on the table (giving them their best finish in the Six Nations), supposing France don’t score a LBP.
Sadly, both teams can finish above Ireland. Maybe we should just cancel this match.
And maybe we should support France to wind up the OH.

Scotland up for this! France looking ponderous and nervous.

France need to win the last 60 minutes 28-0 or 4 converted tries. Not looking like it so far.

Russell really mixing up the good and the ugly at the moment.

That pass back inside was truly shite from Russell.

Vd Merwe very poor defence.

That was always the story about vd Merwe in South Africa. Tremendous on attack but weak on defence. Good by Penaud but still should have had him.

Cotter: In Wales, they’re sipping more thoughtfully on the white-wine spritzer.
The Mister: We’re more sophisticated than that, Mr Cotter. We have a nice red.

Got away with that a bit. Should be further behind I think, but I’ll take this at the moment. Even down to 14.

Unless things change drastically in the second half, it looks like the crown is Welsh.
Either side can win this match, though.

vdM was defending a three on one, his centres were miles away from the ball

I definitely saw one ticht on the initial burst through the gainline

Ha, missing commas in that comment, sure enough.

Pretty obvious forward pass towards the end. Was that Haining who tapped the 6N to Wales off the lineout? 20-10 at oranges would’ve been a killer, but Scotland still in it. Creaking badly, but only 3 down. Have a feeling though that France are gonna crank up the power game in the 2nd 40 and I don’t think Scotland have the answer.

We played well with 14 at the start of the second half against England. France are far better than England though.

Could be a try – the ball might have been ‘knocked up’ according to Wayne in the lead up.
