Biggar is some moanbag

What a 1st half for France. I would say that they would have more energy in themselves to win against the match Wales later on. France are a young team. They are definitely well able to withstand the challenges coming from Wales. Wales on the other hand. They are not looking forward to this half at all. They are likely to be bricking themselves multiples times more when the 2nd half approaches. They don't seem to have any back-up plan if their tiredness continues. If they don't commit to any tries. Their time in this game is over.

I heard a French player is off for concussion.

ScrubsfanChris

Recent history has Wales still winning this. Wonder if the french players are thinking the same.

dublinman1990

France is back to full strength.

dublinman1990

Wales have one back with Dillon Lewis.

A-Train

Much better play by Wales. A good try.

Game on.

pc7

Yes!!!!

A-Train

Break away try France. Just when Wales looked like they might do something.

razorblunt

L’interception.

vienne86

Ntamack!

dublinman1990

Oh Ntamack. Amazing try.

vienne86

Wow - he really slots his kicks. Great asset for France.

ScrubsfanChris

Screw whatever result favours Ireland. I want France to win this.

razorblunt

Faletau’s not done much all tournament.

The hits here are all 110%

Teddy tomas could be the new French mascot. A prancing cock

Biggar is possibly the best player in the world under the high ball.

That should have been a penalty for France though.

A-Train

Biggar is some man. Never going to get anything from the ref there.

Nice to see Wyn Jones getting pinged in the scrum after all the chat during the week

He's brutal.

If Thomas ever decides to give 100% we’re all goosed.


It will probably happen in two weeks time.

He just lashed the ball at the French guy

Ah DuPont bought that penalty there

Looking forward to the Simon Thomas, Wales Online articled vindicating him

Yeah and he still complained about it.

Hadleigh Parkes is like 10% absolutley brilliant, 90% bog average

Game is rapidly slipping away from Wales now. They will need something really special to win this. Either that or a spectacular collapse by France.

Squidgy Black

Williams got in the way there of Tompkins, could've picked it up

The French guy was deliberately blocking him to stop the quick kick.

Something they do have form in. Even in that game against England they let them right back into it.

razorblunt

As much as I’m enjoying watching the French it’s even better watching on the BBC.

Hurrache

Nah, he was trying to wrap him.

sydthebeat

Owens goes down like a bag of cheap spuds

Calling for a penalty try.

Squidgy Black

There does look to be a bit of a slap in fairness, but it was in the motion of the tackle.

BBC commentators are hilarious to listen to though

dublinman1990

It's a Welsh scrum.

EmmetSpiceland

Hurrache wrote: »

He did slap the bull down but his head was buried in Owen’s chest/shoulder so if it was intentional it was pretty impressive.

ScrubsfanChris

You cant judge whether a player went for a deliberate knock watching in slow motion.

Dave_The_Sheep

To be fair, they're saying the same on Rugbypass (admittedly by a Welshman).

I would be livid if that was done against us, as well, but still. It isn't clear and obvious as the ref says, and it's not like they haven't looked at it.

SAM SO NITE

I like this ref.

stephen_n

That was about as clear and obvious as it gets. TMO and ref bottled it.

AbusesToilets

Shocking call there, Penalty try imo

French commentators were sure it was intentional

mangobob

For me thats a definite slap down and clear penalty try. France are absolutely blessed there.

Still, well the Welsh contingent anyway, feeling hard done by not to get the penalty try.

POC is a bit too easy in falling into the direction the wind blows, reluctant to go against the grain

Mixed metaphors all over the kip there.

Really couldn't agree more. Definite slapping motion before he wrapped.

Le cute hoorism.

Absolutely not. It was a wrapping tackle and he made contact with the ball in the process.

A-Train

Yellow card? Why no penalty try.
