I've watched a grand total of about 2 minutes of this game, & every time I flick over, France score a try.

I think I'll stop jinxing Italy now, & hope they remember where they are.

Yes the tv director will be an enormous advantage for them in the knockouts

Bit cynical. Normally French TV replays have a terrible time getting the right view to the ref. Good they seem to have it sorted :clap: :clap: :clap:

This is a really shit world cup. Literally everything seems designed to put people off the game.

I think it simply reflects where those running the game have taken us to.

I've been watching a lot of the tournament on itvX due to family watching the big telly.

Does anyone else get ITVX freezing, usually during ads? It doesn't seem to happen during the game which is good, but I think it leads to me watching a minute or so behind the live action.

The Italian chariot seems to have lost a wheel. This is a bit disappointing.

Not even close.

Wasn't that when he shifted into the pack?

Danty looks heavier than he did a few months ago
You might be right. These shirts do seem to make everyone look a size larger.

A shame that this is how Crowley's run comes to an end

Agree.

But the most globally annoying outcome would be a shit England or Welsh team knocking a better but exhausted team from the other side of the draw out in a semi..so I am sticking with it for now.

Let's hope for a better 2nd half. Italian backline has no penetration atm.

freezing and sound going slightly out of sync that means you need to refresh to get it back in tandem.

Don't need Dupont to beat Italy. SA or Ire is a totally different story.

You really can tell that Dickson was bullied as a child. Deservedly so.

Really need to move Ramos to FH and bring Jaminet on to 15. i.e. GET JALIBERT OFF :evil:

Italian player tackled to ground and dragged a few metres... no release and a French penalty.

Not far now for Penaud to overtake Blanco's record 38 tries for France.

You'll rarely see a supposed top tier team try so hard to fluff a try scoring opportunity :lol:

I guess. Seems unfair. Until you see the opposition sandpapering the ball I guess.
