    Screw whatever result favours Ireland. I want France to win this.

    Biggar is possibly the best player in the world under the high ball.

    That should have been a penalty for France though.

    Biggar is some man. Never going to get anything from the ref there.

    Nice to see Wyn Jones getting pinged in the scrum after all the chat during the week

    If Thomas ever decides to give 100% we’re all goosed.


    It will probably happen in two weeks time.

    Game is rapidly slipping away from Wales now. They will need something really special to win this. Either that or a spectacular collapse by France.

    The French guy was deliberately blocking him to stop the quick kick.

    Something they do have form in. Even in that game against England they let them right back into it.

    As much as I’m enjoying watching the French it’s even better watching on the BBC.

    There does look to be a bit of a slap in fairness, but it was in the motion of the tackle.

    BBC commentators are hilarious to listen to though

    He did slap the bull down but his head was buried in Owen’s chest/shoulder so if it was intentional it was pretty impressive.

    You cant judge whether a player went for a deliberate knock watching in slow motion.

    To be fair, they're saying the same on Rugbypass (admittedly by a Welshman).

    I would be livid if that was done against us, as well, but still. It isn't clear and obvious as the ref says, and it's not like they haven't looked at it.
