Anyone wanting to complain to the BBC about changing their schedule to not-show this*, here's the link:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/complaint ... complaint/


* technically, relegated to the Red Button - having told us for months that it would be on BBC2.
Instead, BBC2 will be urgently showing an 80-year old Western film.


Way to read the room BBC!

Allez Les Bleues!

[Which Tyler]

I fucking HATE that as a "not releasing"

For the Kiwi to steal the ball the French lady would have to phase out of existence. If you've got one arm either side of the player on the ground, and are pulling the ball into their body, you are not in a position to steal the ball, regardless of where her hands were.


And as I type, France take a reasonable revenge.

[Mr Mwenda]

Jesus, France wilting badly there. Poor game management.

[Which Tyler]

But the ball was on the line, and put there by a NZ player.
So neither try, nor penalty, but 5m scrum

[Mr Mwenda]

Yes, seemed an unfair call.
But France just not at the races today.

[Mr Mwenda]

Yay, France! Passing into an underlap but Champon has it covered.

Bourdon S is struggling manfully. Some player.
