    unlike what we are likely to see tomorrow?

    Oh well you may scoff, WMJ. Scotland and Italy tomorrow will make this quagmire feel like the Barbarians vs New Zealand.

    They were all well above head height if I remember. Awful stuff tbh.

    Probably not but France imploding tonight probably means Wales will still be in with a shout of the championship on the final day against Ireland.

    you're probably right.
    but at halftime i would have said (i did in fact) they would not come close to France.

    that's why we love it!:D

    He was also our best player last year giving us a load of penalties. Surely France have someone better?

    Entertaining if you are the type who slows down for car crashes.

    There was very little rugby out there and more of a game of musical chairs

    Two rudderless teams doing their best to make eachother look good. I don't see much in either team to worry about from an Irish perspective

    Liked Lambey when he came on and thought Serin was an upgrade on Parra, but they really threw that away.

    I thought Serin was a prodigy when he first came through but his passing tonight looked like he was passing through jelly it was so slow.

    Rather short-sided view imo. Opening night, a Friday in early Feb. Reckon they'll be a completely different animal come Match.

    Another note. Wondering why its always seems to be France vs. Wales on a Friday.

    Initially he was a fine starter but then he stank the pitch up

    I could easily envisage Wales building momentum and winning the slam. I can equally see them losing away to Italy next week.

    France conceded 24 points in the second half, in atrocious conditions and when they had a 16 point cushion to kill the game with. They must be running out of ways to lose by now.

    Forwards should be banned from passes longer than a metre.

    France - what can you say...gifted two converted tries to Wales. Dire once again, even at Home, is it any wonder the stadium wasn't full. :(

    That Vaahamahina pass had got to be up there with one of the worst decisions ever made on a Six Nations pitch. Just incredibly awful.

    I doubt he's ever completed a 30 metre pass in his career, bizarre decision.

    If you think Wales first up in the rain at Paris = Wales in last match at home to Ireland...

    Have to say that logic absolutely baffles me too. As if Wales's performance tonight, away from home, in tough conditions is an automatic barometer as to how they'll fare in the rest of the tournament :confused:

    It's a momentum tournament and playing in front of their own fans in a cauldron like atmosphere is worlds apart from tonight.

    They've a similar run to Ireland last year. Get a rough first up game out of the way with a win of any sort, then a much handier one v Italy and a 2 week break to prepare for first home game.

    They're real contenders

    Still won't rule them out of the tournament going into last match (provided they beat Italy and Scotland), unless another team wins all their matches but goes BP crazy - which looks very unlikely this season
