Or us sneaking a win by a couple of points because the French get more cards than Hallmark

Hagrid has really let himself go..

Dreading this game I can't lie.
Could be absolute carnage.
Hopefully France start really slowly but that's a forlorn hope given how majestic Begles Bordeaux & Toulouse have been recently.

It will be carnage with shit decisions and shit execution like that from Watkin

Dumb from Dupont

Excellent defence from Wales and Tommy Turnover

Watkin having a mare

We’re not going to die wondering

Silly mistakes gifting France ball

Wales doing alright so far.

Dupont with a cross field kick and it's a try for Attisogbe.

Great kick pass from Dupont for a try but possession and field position gifted to the Frogs

France 7 Wales 0

Wales have turned up here, but France are able to adapt and adjust much quicker.

All France at the minute.

Great skills. France in for a second try. Louis B-B.

France 14 Wales 0.

France look bloody good on attack. Probably over as a contest.

France are the ABs from a decade ago.

Wales don't have muscle to match France.

Watkin off
No great loss

Edwards to 10
Thomas to 12

Think that could end up red.

@Bones Stays yellow says I.

Dupont!

Oh come on that's forward.

No dip, direct shoulder to the head with power?

Yeah, reckon if that was a RWC SF they’d have stared at it for half an hour.

@game_film good call.

Stays a YC for Evan Lloyd.

@sparky we don't have the muscle to match anyone these days

If that had gone red then the TMO is bought

Set piece has been good
First up tackling has been good
No penetration in midfield
Shit kicking from hand

Nope

Already tackled and barely 2 feet above the ground

Mitigation

Correct call

France well in control at the break 28-0. Two tries each for the French wings

Zero gainline efficiency from Wales, our carriers simply aren't big or strong enough to get over the gainline at all.

Far too easy for the French in this game. 38-0 with just over ten mins to go. They’ve left a few points out there as well.

France don't seek to play at all in their own half, but boot it long, then put pressure on the opposition close to their own line. Surely a better tactic than what we saw from the ABs last year who repeatedly got punished trying to play Rugby in their own half?

Ntamack off for a YC and that could be upgraded.

If that’s not a red then there’s no consistency
