Considering France have been the better side I'll take 13-11 at half time. Hopefully Laidlaw's injury isn't too bad as we appear to be missing his influence with the referee a bit.

Don't think he had any influence at on ref. He's been hell bent on letting France away with all sorts of blatant offences

I think we have the second heaviest forward pack in the Six Nations behind France - and they're only top because Atonio is 152kg. We should be doing better. Even if the opposition is looking to enter at a naughty angle, surely we should be looking to find ways to not allow them to do so. Maybe wear shoulder pads like the Legion of Doom/Road Warriors did in WWF.

Pretty much this, been a couple of decent field positions we've had only to lose instantaneously due to our scrum getting completely minced.

It's easy to look strong when you are allowed to get away with illegal play. Angling in at the scrum, coming in from the side at the ruck, handling in the ruck and on the ground, blocking NFL-style for their ball runners . . .
