Try not to look at the score if you can catch a replay...what a game.
 
What about the 55 m kick by Hodge? Pouring rain, took a few steps and hit the post 3/4 of the way up! Great to see the wonderful international game back after so long.
 
When I was growing up it always used to be " Rugby is a hooligan's game played by gentlemen. Football is a gentleman's game played by hooligans." That said, a game against the local nick was the exception to the rule!

Yes ,but French rugby, according to the story (myth?) began when a British navy ship docked in Toulon. Some of the crew fancied a game of rugby and set off in search of 15 locals to give some opposition. Of course the "gentlemen" were all occupied being gentlemen but they found 15 louts hanging around outside the waterfront bars. Apparently they enjoyed it so much that the game took off. And French forward play was invented.
 
What a finish France/Scotland!

Only saw last 10 minutes, but brilliant.Was it twenty something phases?

Interesting choice by France in "red" time. They could have put the ball in touch to win, but didn't, then gave Scotland a penalty which led to the final try.
