Welsh team named

Gatland gone for experience, and tbf these players are in-form, fit, and playing well.

Still don't understand his fascination with Murray.

Given all the doom and gloom that is actually not a bad side. Now to see what the coaches’ input has been.

MiketheSnow

Adam is great, and good to see English subtitles for the Welsh 😉

He is great and he progressed from being ok in a poor Welsh front row to being the rock in a very good front row. Retired when he had a couple more years in him too.

Legacy intact.

I was more pointing out that he seems a good cnut, from the limited stuff I've seen

@Machpants

Yeah a hard man to hate, even when he’s stuffing up an England front row.

Them by lots

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

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.

MiketheSnow

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
