The red card gets worse on every viewing.

The glance at Peyper to see if he was looking.
The elbow.
The second glance at Peyper to see if he was caught.

What an idiot anchor...

Natural instinct.... to lash out with an elbow like that..

Yeh, natural for a thug....

The Irish don't half do bitterness. :pac:

They turn up in big games, make WC semis and with a smaller playing pool

They're a lesson to us

Be delighted to see such a proud rugby nation in the final

Your eyes must be well able to deceive you. The Welsh won by a point against 14 men with a dodgy forward pass decision.

They didn't 'turn up', the French brain went home.

*p.s. All sporting rivals do 'bitterness'. It's kinda what rivalry is all about.

Have to feel sorry for the rest of French players when you see that they had to do the work for a brainless hulk and lost out in the end to a highly questionable try.

Joe Schmidt got a lot of negative press on here after yesterday’s Irish performance but you would have to question Warren Gatlands prep if this Welsh team for today.They looked like a side lacking in ideas and very lethargic.

Wales have been very fortunate. Even against Australia in the pool game, they scraped by them. The poor start cost the Aussies. They weren't good against Fiji either.

The 3 losing quarter finalists and France themselves with 15 players would beat Wales, they were that bad. Anyway, we're going home and Wales are still there. :mad:

Nothing bitter. Wales didn’t play well and were lucky to get through. They did very little to win the game. France as usual self imploded.

There’s no bias in calling it as you see it. Wales will need to play much much better in the semi. They got very lucky today.

Do they really have a smaller playing pool? I doubt that

Someone posted the table the other day (not sure on the Wales numbers, I didnt look) so its floating around here somewhere

Plenty, all the time when I play, but i'm bias then:)

I also see my teammates argue points with refs when I've seen the situation unfold and them being wrong.

Both are equally capable of being wrong but only one side gets to make the decision.

And the ball went forward!

Absolute clown. I'd be heading to a (currently) uninhabited island far from France if I were him.

So you'd be sending him home then

Did anyone really think that?

Unless the whole thing is done as a league, no one can make a statement like that.

Surely France should have been trying to work a drop goal from the time it was 19 -13.

The had a great period of possession with around 15-20 minutes to go and decided to keep on running the ball instead of working a drop goal opportunity.

Really poor lack of game management by them in my opinion.

Nobody tells the French team what to do, they just do what they feel like! On to 2023 for them.

I think they won it alright, will have to double check but I'm almost sure they're into the semi next week

Love how Gatland gets no credit around here. You can guarantee he would have been getting all the credit if they lost.

Wales very poor but yet again they've done what we never can; get to a semi final.

Oh don't get me wrong, that was disgusting and a moment of individual idiocy. But the rest of the team didn't deserve to lose because of a bad decision.

Red card was the game changer...only themselves to blame. Wales awful and won't go any further on that form.
