France suddenly decided not to bother defending.
Barn door left wide open.

Kicking to Kinghorn in space is an interesting tactic. Shaun Edwards will be blowing a fuse. Chalked off for being in touch though, lucked out there

The only mitigation I could see was his own player coming back knocked him and made him fall but that’s not the reason the officials gave. I called it as a red as soon as it happened and before the ref picked it up. After the replays it was either a straight red or an accident and not even a penalty.

So, you try to tackle a player and accidentally make head contact and you get red.
But you are on the ground, and deliberately try to hurt a prone player, leading with your head and make head contact and it's only a yellow?
What planet is the bunker official on if an act of thuggery is only yellow in this day?

That looked like a deliberate knock on to start the move.
 
Think the third French try will take the air out of the Scottish tyres. They've given it a good go though.

(And as an England fan I'd be the first to admit France have been the best team in the tournament this year)

Agreed.
And I’d ever suggest Ireland were second best. But it’s very close between England Ireland and Scotland at the moment.
With England probably looking the most likely to progress.
