Pundits' verdict on France v Scotland

BBC Sport pundits Jerry Guscott, Keith Wood, and Jonathan Davies assess Scotland's heart-breaking defeat to France.

Jeremy Guscott Former England centre

Scotland are going to be absolutely gutted.

But they have got to pick themselves up very quickly and be very proud because it was not so long ago they could not string three or four passes together.

(France coach) Bernard Laporte has proved himself to be a mad Frenchman, some of his team selections were absolutely bonkers.

This was a team that was thrown together and it played like it - but in the end they scraped the win.

Keith Wood Former Ireland captain

A draw would have been a fair result.

I would love to know what's going on in Bernard Laporte's head.

I would say there's no doubt his team selection in positions nine and ten (Delaigue and Mignoni) failed.

When Frederik Michalak came on (74th minute, for Delaigue) he was oozing a confidence that Delaigue had not shown the whole game.

Jonathan Davies Former Wales fly-half

What lost Scotland the game was one example of poor decision-making and a basic error right at the end.

Simon Danielli should not have hung onto the ball (the winger opted to try and run the ball while isolated on his own 22 with five minutes to go).

And Hugo Southwell should not have stepped into the ball before the kick (the inside centre took one step before attempting to clear to touch which allowed time for the kick to be charged down).

Guscott, Wood and Davies were speaking on BBC One.
