France 21 Scotland 16 and this was a very good match to watch but bizarrely the most brutal I've seen for a long time in terms of injuries to Scottish and French players. The early loss of Gregg Laidlaw to an ankle injury was hugely disappointing but the continual loss of good players was becoming totally disruptive to the Scottish 'cause' - only so much that a team squad can endure!!! Scotland's scrummaging frailty exposed by the French and the absent JP Nell sorely missed!
