France v Scotland

So… about last weekend’s rugby…

I managed to go to Düsseldorf just in time to watch the game between France and Scotland at Paris. And what a dire game it was, too.

At the pub, there is an offer on… you get 2 beers for the price of 1, but it’s only valid until the first score. It’s a good idea, and it’s fine by me! And because the game was so crap, there hasn’t been any score until the 22nd minute… the landlord was complaining (jokingly) about how they should hurry up and score as he was losing money!

But finally there was a score… only a penalty, but it was a score nonetheless. It was one of those really scrappy games that kept getting interrupted by scrums and lineouts and penalties. There was no go in it at all, even though Scotland did seem to be well in the game at the beginning. But at half time, the score was just 6-3 to France.
The second half proved more eventful, but still crap. At least a couple of tries were scored, and Scotland were close to the French score, and they did play better than last week against Wales. But still, France won with 22-13.
