      How did Barnes not blow the whistle for the advantage anyway. The kick was awful.

      Because he's a great referee

      Delighted for Huget. Two massively soft tries though. France throwing their first half effort out the window.

      Wales seem to bring these types of performances out of France whereas whenever we beat them it's always a tight attritional affair.

      As a Munster man, I’ll have to disagree!! :) but in general he is one of the better ones

      BBC's Eddie Butler asks if you can hear the Welsh singing as the crowd strike up a loud La Marseillaise :)

      No, incredibly stupid by AWJ

      Picamoles wasn't in the ruck, AWJ has no right to touch him. Whether Picamoles would have made the tackle or not doesn't really matter

      Real test now for this French team

      It was a great kick if he meant it, found grass and was going to stop just short of the goal line, worst case scenario for Wales would've been a 5 metre scrum which they might well have taken.

      Eddie Butler: "Can you hear the Welsh fans singing?"
      Paulie: "No, that's the Marseillaise".

      :D

      Really odd decision to kick for goal given the nature of this game. Stick it in the corner France

      100%. He knew exactly what he was doing.

      Don't know how he expected to get away with it though.

      Was he not part of it once AWJ grabbed him? Jones had a bind to the ruck. I'm guessing no :pac:

      That’s 10 points now left behind by France so far.

      On another day he might very well have.. it happened so quick and so close the ruck that any sort of distraction for the ref at the time and he might have missed it

      The French don't fancy the easy way out.

      I always find it interesting how much faster referees will call a turnover when there is penalty advantage against the team winning the turnover.
