44 h. ago ‘We can’t wait’: Scotland’s Townsend relishing France test after win over Wales

Scotland hang on to beat Wales 35-29 at MurrayfieldTownsend: ‘France is the toughest fixture in world rugby’After dominating yet another match without maximising the return on the scoreboard, Scotland now face the daunting prospect of a trip to Paris to take on high-flying France, the one team scoring even more freely than Scotland. They will probably thrive on it.Gregor Townsend acknowledged that Scotland face the toughest assignment of all on Saturday night. “France scored 70 points against a very good Italian team,” he said. “They got 40 points against Wales, 40 points against Ireland. I think they could have 40 or 50 points against England with the amount of chances they had. Just now, probably this is the toughest fixture in world rugby. They beat the All Blacks in November. So we can’t wait to be involved in it. They’ll be going for the title, but it’s an opportunity for us to go out and play against one of the best teams right now.” Continue reading...

Scotland 35-29 WalesHome side led 35-8 but Wales secure late bonus point All of Scotland’s brilliance, and a lot of those familiar failings. Scotland, it cannot be denied, underscored once again their status as second only to France in attack. But even with a 27-point cushion midway through the second half, they contrived to make life uncomfortable for themselves against a clearly inferior side.Wales managed to rouse themselves from a hopeless position to claim two bonus points, when Max Llewellyn crashed over to score their fourth try at the death. Jarrod Evans’s conversion, his third, pulled Wales back to within six for the second point. Small consolation for Wales, still rooted to the foot of the table. They had been completely outplayed for an hour, but will welcome England to Cardiff next weekend with a modicum of encouragement. Continue reading...

Both Gregor Townsend and Matt Sherratt have shown faith in the XVs who performed well in their most recent defeatsNeither of these two are where they want to be after three rounds. In the case of Wales, rock bottom cannot be worse than where they feared they might be; in the case of Scotland, fourth must be so much worse than they had hoped. And some might say deserve.Eyebrows may rise, then, at the news that both coaches will more or less send out the same teams that featured in their respective defeats in round three. But Six Nations tend to have narratives more nuanced than those supplied by the table at any given moment. Continue reading...
