Shit option!!!! Hold the fucking thing!

African Monkey

An upset brewing?

NTA

Great phase play by USA.

French winger lucky to still be on the pitch after slapping yank 7 🙄

Gunner

Why do the USA keep kicking it away when they look like they might get into the French 22?

After looking so good during that possession too...

antipodean

@Gunner maybe they practised escaping their own 22 all week and didn't expect to be in a position to score..?

Just got this text from a mate

“France again are playing like rubbish in their pool game against the lowly ranked USA. so.. yes they are on track to make the final again “

NTA

Considering France have leaned into about three scrums, that was a weird decision from BOK

NTA

USA penalised in the first half for first assistant man going to deck with ball carrier. France so exactly the same and nothing.

NTA

Beautiful clearance. Nice one, kid

African Monkey

@NTA Yeah I know. More wishful thinking haha.

Can't be exactly the same thing. I meet Ben at a function in the New Zealand embassy here in Tokyo and he's a good bloke.

Great kick from France this time

Gunner

I think USA deserve credit for their defence, they’re pressuring the Frogs into a lot of their mistakes.

NTA

Another dangerous fend from France 🤣

Good pressure USA but France killing themselves here.

GO FOR THE CORNER

African Monkey

Go for the corner!!!!

Damo

I can smell another upset here. I didn't think so 10 minutes ago, but now I think France look very vulnerable.

One try will sort that out, unfortunately

Absolutely, go for the corner USA, if you have any intent to win this game , you go for the try..!

Victor Meldrew

USA 10 looks seriously good.

Les Bleu are awful

African Monkey

@Damo Yup they needed 1 try to get them going and haven't found it. It's all on now depending on this kickoff.

Bones

Yeah can't see France failing to shut this out.

jegga

USA d is pretty impressive

Gunner

Forward pass missed there

NTA

The lesson for the USA: go for the corner and get the pressure on

Kirwan

USA did great, took 66 mins to break them. Good effort, they look fit and have a good set piece

African Monkey

@NTA Yup they lost their big moment there. Should be enough for the French now.

That was the big moment. They have a good maul too

NTA

Falling apart now. Shame

@NTA ,unfortunately the USA just don’t have intention or skill that Japan bought to the table against Ireland ,game over now,
This has been more of a very poor French performance as opposed to a good USA effort..

NTA

Winger catches ball be would have dropped on his 22
