Rugby world cup 2019

[StanSP]

Didn't quite hear what commentators were saying - something about 8 years ago? What happened?

[pSinatra]

What is wrong with France?  Although, they do love a surrender

[walkerleeds]

Would be a shame for the tournament if that defines this match. At least France are good to watch, Wales offer no entertainment value whatsoever

We played them in a semi final eight years ago and we got a player sent off controversially by a half French referee that shouldn't have been within a hundred miles of the stadium.

I'll let Finnegan explain that one though not sure if he'll definitely remember....

[Finnegan]

Need to remember France still have a pretty solid lead and we've not created anything for 53 minutes here. 

 

Can't get complacent.

Bit harsh, surely you'd allow him there as a fan?

He can watch it on TV with the rest of his French family.

To be fair, I'm also still fizzing about Lampard's over the line goal against ze Germans and Marc Albrighton conceding a penalty a yard outside the box, so it's good to harbour burning resentment. 

[Guest MattP]

France do play some really entertaining stuff.

 

That player deserves the guillotine for that, how do expect to get away with it?

[Finnegan]

Meddard probably man of the match for me so far.

Always thought the Lampard one was massively against the run of play anyway but yeah 2-2 could have changed the face of that game.

Yeah it could have motivated the Germans to go on and win 7-2.

[ScouseFox]

 wales, taken them 20 minutes to work out if they have an extra man they probably have an overlap, then proceed to throw the ball straight at the only defender on the screen. superb. 

[Vacamion]

 

Lomu-esque. 

 

[Arriba Los Zorros]

FFS Wales what ya doing?

[Izzy]

Gats looks rattled

[Nalis]

That straightforward France conversion miss in the first half could be crucial.

[Finnegan]

I'm sure the TMO will find something wrong with this. 

[StanSP]

Finally Wales get a try.

 

Lot of errors from both sides in this half. Pressure getting to them?

[pSinatra]

That went forward

To be fair, France have defended very very well this half. 

 

But yeah we're shit.

and missing a penalty when they had an extra man, then going to the corner when it was 15 vs 15 a few minutes later. they should've been 20+ points ahead before the red card. silly billies.
