Match thread: Wales vs France

[Freks]

This is like perpetual deja vu. Ffs, France, score already!

[cashead]

How in the goddamned hell is that not a penalty by Sloth there?

[Donny osmond]

Vakatawa keeps forgetting this isn't sevens

Why are France obsessed with playing him like an extra backrow?

Because they're a terrible team.

As a Scotsman I feel well placed to comment on terrible teams and you're right this French team is terrible at being a team.

Thank feck France have taken their 10 off.

Ha. Contender for shi*test length of the field try ever?

[Renniks]

So what happened to the high tackle that Davies did ?
Barnes is on a great power trip (it looked okay, but he just seemed to ignore the TMO)

[Renniks]

If we lose to the Irish team that lost to this France team, I'll be very very sad.

Christ almighty.

Wales soooo much better but without having to play that well. Very solid defence and they're just turning the ball over with ease at times.

[Buggaluggs]

You're Scottish. You're destined to be very sad. That's when you lot are happiest.

Good point, there wasn't anything in the Cuthbert one but Davies certainly got some neck on a French guy.

That was also a pretty clear neckroll, and that's exactly the sort of thing that needs to be taken out of the game.

I'm delighted to get upset with that

Well, I sincerely hope this puts the Jonny kicking routine to bed once and for all.

It doesn't matter whether or not there was anything in it, it was a clear neckroll. That was a penalty, at least. Could've even been a card.

Go for the points

[tigran]

man.. good defense from wales...

[tigran]

of course they are not good as a team, they only have met two weeks ago..

but they are showing good caracter and will come stronger after this

[UKHamlet]

Interesting perspective from JD about Priestland. Almost seems to prefer him to Biggar

They've been putting Wales under a lot of pressure, but there hasn't been anything inspiring.

And the French Number 2 has been awesome.

[tigran]

well hammy, there has been.. on two or three occasions... and it's not nothing for such a young team to put Wales under pressure after being promised a pummelling..

[Mikeyv]

I hate these cheap caps.

[canta_brian]

Trinh-Duc. Why is he not starting?

[tigran]

Well, that's a real try..

[tigran]

Trinh-Duc. Why is he not starting?

he just came back from injury, he is the number one for Novès

Oh come on. France are shit and have been shit for a while.
