That should be another yellow. Everyone knows it

Weepsie

Outrageous refereeing. Is Barnes in his ear trying to get forgiveness for that mental match a few years ago

Lot of whinging on here.

You win very little without playing on the absolute edge. You play the ref and officials.

Edge?
Break a rule at every play

noodler

Abysmal reffing.

Bottling his own precedents

tanko

The ref admitting he wants Wales to win, just enforce the rules, it shouldn't matters how many cards he's given previously.

sligeach

This is eating up the clock.

Penalty again without a yellow???

You do when they're cowards.

Pearce bottled a clear yellow. Its irrelevant if he was the final Welsh player on the pitch, he killed the ball.

GreeBo

Ah that's just shocking officiating.

Bluwave

That should have been a try.

Clearly grounded properly.

Clegg

What on earth are the French doing?

There isn't enough time for another scrum.

swiwi_

Taking the scrum is so be stupid. How to let 2 minutes go by.

Kiith

Why go to the scrum?

Bizarre decision making.

This is a shocking performance from Pearce

BonnieSituation

Are we allowed be annoyed yet at Wales getting some serious decisions?

When you don't get punished, do it! It's to their advantage.

Richard Hillman

Jesus France are a bit casual here. In absolutely no rush.

Hammer Archer

This is bizarre. How can the referee give a warning after giving 2 yellow cards in the previous couple of minutes?
Wales just get stupid amounts of luck with officials and it's been going on for 5-10 years.

beggars_bush

Why didn't they tap and go?

Augme

Really poor game management decisions here by France to take the scrum decision here. Scrums take ages to get finished. Tap and go.

Are 2 yellows not enough of a warning already without having to give another warning?

Right?

ctrl-alt-delete

Some finish lined up now!

Bluwave

At least France learned from last week and made a change at 9 before the game was gone

GreeBo

Has the ref seen the blue and thinks he is reffing Italy?

A-Train

Try France, need a quick conversation and get it

Any other team would have a penalty try against them at this point

Should have been a penalty try and or a third yellow... weak as fuçk jokeshop refereeing from Pearce.

thebaz

Wales win the 6 Nations playing anti-rugby - yawn.

micar

Come on France

Kiith

Wtf are France at? Utterly idiotic going for two scrums there.

Cheesey Cheese Hood Cheese

France are the better side here, but whatever, we beat England today.

razorblunt

Allez allez allez.

touts

Come on France. Stick it to this British team of players and officials!

Clegg

That some bottle from N'tamack.

No kicking routine there. Just straight up and hut the conversion.

Bazzo

France are the architects of their own destruction but there's no reason Pearce shouldn't have just been throwing cards at the Welsh like a Vegas dealer there. Cynical beyond belief.

Bluwave

France are gonna win this.

GreeBo

Loads of space on the pitch....

A-Train

France blew it and then Wales did by sealing it off

razorblunt

Wales sealing

flazio

What would a drawing drop goal do to the championship?

I think ye're all being a bit harsh on the ref. I mean sure he gave two yellows and sure he then gave a warning but it's not like slapping the ball out of the passer's hand while on the ground at a ruck a couple of metres from your line is that blatant of a yellow.

Good point.

sligeach

Wales would be the least deserving side ever to have won the Grand Slam.

Delighted it didn't happen.

France aren't winning this.

Their forwards have made so many handling errors.

3 in a row before they're pinged

Strumms

France look like they have a lot less in the tank then Wales.

Weepsie

2 penalties since he warned there's be a yellow and no yellow?

Wales still win I think.

I'd love an old penalty try to decide this.
