Drama in Paris - Scotland hopes of a grand slam dashed, 32-21 - 0762 - 26-02-2023

Another very entertaining match from Scotland, but France too strong and skilful at home in racking up the pts plus a bonus pt "into the bargain". And two players, Gilchrist and Haoas, red-carded during separate incidents in the first 12 mins while France "fast out of the blocks" during that period to make the score 12-0. What a match!! However, a defining moment in a real battling performance by Scotland was Finn Russell's unfortunate long pass intercepted by a French full back in the first half, a free run to Scotland's try line - can't err in this way at this level and expect to win! The score line should've been much closer at the end all the same.
