I'm sorry but Eddie Buttler pouncing French names is the best bit of rugby. 

 

 

You should be sorry.   

 

Bill McLaren could commentate on a game involving France without showing off and still stir the soul of the viewer.

Wesley For! FAH! NAAA! 

 

Max(!)ime! Ma! Sha! NOOOoooOOOooO! 

 

 

[ScouseFox]

wales are rubbish 

[Nalis]

Oh la la

 

Want the team with the best chance of beating South Africa to go through, would be annoying to see a shit French performance against them if France win this one.

[Finnegan]

At the risk of sounding salty, France can only beat what's in front of them but its not a phenomenal French performance we're just bottling this in defence. 

 

Falling off tackles, standing out of position, coughing up offloads all over the place. 

 

Their second try was hilariously bad. 

 

Losing Foxy is obviously a big deal, he's the defensive captain on the pitch, but it's not an excuse. This is just appalling. 

 

If they score another before half time that's it, it's finished. We're not going to come back from 16 points down twice in a year. 

[Vacamion]

 

That was some brutal, bodies on the line defence there.

 

 

[Nalis]

It's impossible to think of Dusautoir or Rougerie without thinking of Eddie Butler.

[ScouseFox]

what an awful idea to take the kick, after already missing one simple kick, with extra men on the field when you're 2 yards out with 2 minutes until half time.

If you made up some vaguely french sounding names, you can easily imagine them being buttlered.

 

La Boffe, to Bobinard, over to Pikachu...

That big pass by Wales just then wtf. Do they have the adage 'never play across your own goal' in rugby

Penalty advantage mate.

 

Not really sure why Mullins got excited about it there was zero danger there.

So wasteful by France, they could have been out of sight.

[pSinatra]

Wales lucky to be still in this

[Nalis]

Wales still in this though.

 

France have a lot of decent young players coming through, reckon they'll be a fancied force by the next world cup as opposed to the overused current hot/cold cliche.

[Finnegan]

Ironically for me it depends on which Wales comes out after half time. 

 

If they come out confident, switched on, awake, we'll still win this. If they come out still nervous and half arsing it, it could be a cricket score. 

 

I know it sounds nuts but France aren't doing anything very special. Ben Kay hit the nail on the head, France actually look creatively bereft when the field isn't broken. But we're deliberately supplying them broken field because we usually back ourselves to defend it and we're not. 

 

As Alfie just pointed out, we've missed 18 tackles. That's just not good enough at all. 

 

[ScouseFox]

cmon france 

[ScouseFox]

wales la, they should be about 25 points down based on the last 10 of the first half and the first 10 of this and now they're gonna be 9 behind with an extra man. 

[Finnegan]

Start walking. 

[Nalis]

From potentially going 16 points clear to a red card, how idiotic from the French.

[StanSP]

Blatant red card surely?!

[RowlattsFox]

What an idiot. 

[Finnegan]

I mean that's just pure stupid. 

 

The least amount of argument you'll ever see from a captain, he's furious with him. 

[Vacamion]

 

 

So so utterly brainless...

[StanSP]

That's just fvcking stupid.
