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

MiketheSnow

Dumb from Dupont

MiketheSnow

Excellent defence from Wales and Tommy Turnover

MiketheSnow

Watkin having a mare

MiketheSnow

We’re not going to die wondering

Silly mistakes gifting France ball

sparky

Wales doing alright so far.

sparky

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

MiketheSnow

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

sparky

France 7 Wales 0

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

sparky

All France at the minute.

sparky

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

sparky

France 14 Wales 0.

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

Bones

France are the ABs from a decade ago.

sparky

Wales don't have muscle to match France.

MiketheSnow

Watkin off
No great loss

Edwards to 10
Thomas to 12

Bones

Think that could end up red.

@Bones Stays yellow says I.

Bones

Oh come on that's forward.

game_film

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

sparky

Stays a YC for Evan Lloyd.

pooler fan

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

MiketheSnow

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

sparky

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

sparky

This angles shows that the French third try was clearly off a forward pass.

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

Canes4life

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.

sparky

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?

sparky

Ntamack off for a YC and that could be upgraded.

MiketheSnow

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

If it's a Red Card then Ntamack will be unavailable for the England game at Twickenham. And Jalibert is currently having a sulk.

Jalibert dropped because he had a sulk

MiketheSnow

Correct decision

Sounds like Wales' nil total might be flattering them to them.
As I write this I note the Ntamack card gets upgraded to red.

We’ve had more than enough ball in the right parts of the field to score tries but we haven’t had the power to break the gain line or the guile to unlock the French defence
