France - The dumbest team in international rugby

And vahaamahina probably the dumbest player on that team...

Probably because it wasn't clearly forward?

France didn’t have a penalty to kick, it was a scrum 7m from wales line they screwed up. But it wasn’t a penalty decision

fitz · 20-10-2019 09:05AM

Tipuric was either level or closer to the French line than the strip, and he turned toward the line to gather it. Crazy decision.

Think the conclusion was that Wynne Jones was behind him.

Terrible mistake from Medard, he's been kicking well.

Like everything France does, it relies on the gods of chance. Saying his kicking well, is the same as saying that he keeps getting heads on the coin toss.

Gatland just knows how to get it done. Poor performance all the same by Wales

Look where it was ripped and look where it was collected, and it’s pretty clear it was. Ripped on the 5m line , collected a yard ahead of it.

Nobody quite gets in their own way like France.

sligeach · 20-10-2019 09:07AM

Vahaamahina, I hope for his sake is already on his way to the airport.

adox · 20-10-2019 09:07AM

Wales have been very unimpressive here.

The pen now could be the game.

siblers · 20-10-2019 09:07AM

Dunno why they don't have grid lines. It's impossible to tell if it went forward in those scenarios without some type of grid reference

Baffling, the line is a clear reference point

Guy:Incognito · 20-10-2019 09:07AM

Fair bit of anti wales sentiment in the interpretation of that call on here imo. If that was Ireland losing out I bet the consensus would be that its marginal.

It looked flat for most of it, possibly drifted slightly just before the catch but him moving to it may have made it look like that.

Certainly wouldnt be one anyone would be happy to lose out on a game on. From either side. Very little in it.

Don't think this is down to Gatland...luck of the Welsh more like. France self destructing.

That first part has no bearing on what's happening in this game :pac:

Piper making game changing decisions again.

Ntamac’s 2 missed kicks 1st half so crucial

Gatland had very little to do with this win, in fact Wales themselves had less of an input than France in their win.

captbarnacles · 20-10-2019 09:09AM

2 mins 30 for a scrum. Infuriating when you are chasing a game.

shootermacg · 20-10-2019 09:10AM

Biggar no balls not taking the kick.

fitz · 20-10-2019 09:10AM

France robbed by that forward pass decision.

Yeah can't afford that at this level, but red sank them. No challenge at all in the SF on this performance.

ctrl-alt-delete · 20-10-2019 09:10AM

French their own worst enemy,

The missed conversion and penalty might be considered, but the red card ended it for them.

He should be crucified.

Because motion comes into play...

Grid lines don't take into account motion

Run down the clock is the way to do it.

LuckyGent88 · 20-10-2019 09:11AM

Just how do wales keep winning these games. Never deserved to win the game once again against France.

In saying that, France allowed them to win it. Didn’t convert the pressure they had at the end of first half into more points, ridiculously brain dead red card and then not putting a full compliment into the scrum when on the welsh line. Even set up a drop goal there and I think they win the game.

It went forward, its not that difficult.
