    French management looking classy in their black tie.

    Another rubbish tackke from the Wales 13. That guy is a turnstile on defence.

    And it was the 23 actually.

    France are definitely good here, but it can't be ignored how bad Wales are.

    For such an experienced team they have no answers to France's line speed and their indecision ball in hand is making life easy for this improved French defense.

    You'd hate to be playing against France in this kind of mood, but bloody hell it is great to watch them.

    Now Wales just look badly coached. No composure there at all with a score on a plate in front of them.

    Absolutely criminal to not score from that position. They're all over the place

    Also their kicking. France just placing wingers and their 8 back and lapping up the kicks.

    I'm conflicted. A Welsh win suits us, but great to see France play as they are.

    He’s been getting away with a few hits with the shoulder, no wrap, as well.

    They’ve done this a few times now. Great starts but then go to sleep, or fall apart, after 60 minutes.

    France number 9 held back off the ball by the Wales 6.

    Not picked up.

    Yeah, falling in Wales favour, not entirely justified. Welsh whinging annoying the ref too.

    Dupont held back by Moriarty and still managed to spoil.


    BBC absolutely bulling for a penalty to Wales for anywhere

    Just absolutely no idea what to do when they have the ball. A man up and playing in the narrow channels.

    Never seen such a completely disjointed performance from them

    Great tackle by Dupoint at the back of the scrum. Completely killed the move.

    Not quite as good as the Italy Scotland spectacle.

    Savage French defence there. Might be the winning of the game.

    Just kidding. That was the “line” trotted out when Neil Back slapped the ball from Stringer’s hands back in the day.

    It’s poor form when that stuff gets “missed” but when you have pathetic, ineffectual, cowardly linesmen giving them bare minimum of input, defensive lines living offside, runners well ahead of every kick off and front rows driving crooked coupled with short binds going unpunished, day in, day out, it’s hardly unexpected.
