    I hope whoever wins the other semifinal beats the living crap out of Wales should they win this.

    The strip was clearly forward, I don't get how that is given.

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

    It was forward and Wales scrum half was offside!

    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

    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.

    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. :D

    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.

    Wales have been very unimpressive here.

    The pen now could be the game.

    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

    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.

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