Team for France

[hugh_woatmeigh]

Or play 7s. There's still a way to have a meaningful career without doing this to your body.

[Sandydragon]

Oh fuck me. This is looking a bit ominous.

[Mr Mwenda]

Oh Davies, why did you not look keft....

[morepork]

On the left!

[Buggaluggs]

Where's Jonathan 'numbers left' Davies when you need him.

[morepork]

Biggar needs to stop being a footballer.

[Mr Mwenda]

Lot of penalties in the red zone.

[Buggaluggs]

I'd have taken 3. Down by 5 at the half would be a good result.

[morepork]

Yeah.....extra man does not seem to compute...

[Buggaluggs]

+ they wasted 7 mins of the yellow. Could have had a 5 point deficit with France down to 14 for the first 10 of the second half.

[Digby]

I'd have taken 3. Down by 5 at the half would be a good result.

Yep, all they've done there is run down the sin bin

[Mr Mwenda]

Stands to reason that the missing man would've been around the ruck so that must be where the space is?

[Buggaluggs]

My rule of thumb (in the many international games I've imagined captaining) is that if the 3 pointer changes the state of the game from a 2 score lead to a 1 score you always take that gift.

Sound logic.

[morepork]

On the left again Wales. Look left damint.

[Buggaluggs]

Beautiful flowing backs move gets the try

[Buggaluggs]

Well. Shit the bed.

[morepork]

why didn't he just power onto the ball and try and catch that?

[Buggaluggs]

Couple salty calls going against Wales

[Buggaluggs]

Another salty call goes against Wales

[Buggaluggs]

Not taking 3 at the end of the first is going to cost us here.

[Sandydragon]

Well that’s fucking annoying. Close but no cigar.

Interception killed us.

[Buggaluggs]

Well, they deserved to beat us at the WC, so I suppose this is justice. But France barely deserved that. It's the Sean Edwards effect. Winning games that you maybe shouldn't

[Buggaluggs]

Well that’s fucking annoying. Close but no cigar.

Interception killed us.

Not taking a quick 3 at the end of the first and having 10 mins against 14 in the second cost us, and some dodgy calls didn't help. But France were fantastic in the fist 20 mins

[Ross. S]

Cynical play in the 22 by France and a ref with no bollocks although Wales weren't the smartest either.
