Scotland take on France at Murrayfield this weekend in their opening Six Nations match with a new air of optimism within the squad. For the first time in a long time, Scotland, whilst having no pretentions, will know that they have a team that can compete, a team who have re-discovered the famed ‘never-say-die’ attitude and a team that can build Murrayfield into a Fortress.
2010 Six Nations Latest Betting
The Scots exceptionally brave win over Australia in November heralded a new belief into Scottish rugby, but the time is now upon them to put this belief to the test, by taking on and beating a French side, whose record at Murrayfield is frighteningly good.
2010 Six Nations Rugby News, Betting and Previews
Needless to say but France start 1/3 odds on favourites to win what would be their 11th win from 12 matches played against Scotland since the Six Nations went through its transition to include Italy in 2000. Scotland are quoted at 12/5, which we think is a little too skinny, given the recent records of Scotland v France matches, the highly unlikely draw is quoted at 22/1. These odds are all available with Bet 365.

Scotland’s solitary Six Nations win against France, came in 2006, when they played out of their skins to win 20-16 thus denying the French of winning the Grand Slam. Scotland will need to reproduce that type of performance if they are to repeat the dose, but Scottish fans and punters will know that the impossible is back on the cards this year and a bet on a Scots Winning Margin of between 1-5 points is worth taking, especially with the excellent odds of 13/2 from Bet365.
We think that Scotland can pull off a shock in this match and whilst we do not think that they will play a 15 man open game, they will have enough about them defensively to thwart much of the French flair. Scotland will also have a counter-attacking thrust of their own, which could earn them kickable penalties; hence the reason why Chris Paterson has been brought back into the side.
