FFS, miles forward.

Looked like he threw it on 5m line and winger caught it halfway to goalline

Mind you, ive not seen a replay

[Slick]

That French kit is a white collar and the stripes extending down the sleeves away from being an absolute classic. Still pretty lush.

Was considering this earlier, will be difficult to ever beat the ‘92 shirt but this is a fine effort

[Blackmac]

It's obviously forward out of his hands. Rugby is fucked if that sort of nonsense gets a pass.

[Jock42]

I will never understand why players with leg injuries aren't just automatically stretchered off.

Blown your knee out? Well, hobble off with a bit of support under your arms, there's a brave boy.

I assume it's the player and their ego rather than the clinicians decision.


That was mare forward than Bonnie Blue

I have no idea what that means. But yes, it was forward.

[Tichtheid]

Dupont going from laughing to giggling at Saffers who don’t think he is the best in the world

How he keeps his feet at times is really impressive

Possibly the best ever.

The Boks (and ABs) have had some good'uns, but Dupont's as good as any imho. Just brilliant to watch.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Yellow for persistent infringing coming soon.

[Hal Jordan]

The French 11 looks about 11 years old.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Or a try…

[Uncle fester]

Wales aren't even playing that badly.

[ScarfaceClaw]

It’d take him about 25 years to grow a moustache.

[Torquemada 1420]

Hmm. Not looking like the 51-0 will be beaten now

Yup. Always almost impossible to compare but I think he is so far ahead that I’m happy to say best ever

[Torquemada 1420]

21. Fastest player in world rugby IMHO.

Wales aren't even playing that badly.

They’re so far outclassed for pace, speed and distribution. It’s like watching a lower youth division team playing a team told to be gentle with them.

[Tichtheid]

The dominant team usually kicks on in the second half.

Wales have to go up several notches if they are to avoid a really big score

I fancy Wal to beat Eng

Meantime Ita U20s win away in Sco.

Galthie will pull all the key players real fast I suspect.

[PCPhil]

Well, my France by 30 looking a bit low.

You what? England will, not spectacularly but will, grind Wales into the ground.

et alors?

[laurent]

Half time score is OK, not sure the Welsh have much in store.

BipBIP and Attisogbe to get a hat trick ?

Ntamack to do something useful maybe?

[ScarfaceClaw]

Good hands by the Welsh.

[Hal Jordan]

Good hands by the Welsh.

Until they weren't....

But some good continuity up to then.

[sockwithaticket]

It was contnuous possession, sure, but France didn't really look uncomfortable in that set. Had Wales well marshalled.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Here come the subs and France resting players.

[Torquemada 1420]

Empty shirt Colombes steals another cap

[ScarfaceClaw]

It was contnuous possession, sure, but France didn't really look uncomfortable in that set. Had Wales well marshalled.

Wales were, like their défense, attacking very narrow. One off crash.

[Hal Jordan]

Did he drop that putting it down?

[Blackmac]

There was obvious clear release in the penalty prior to that try. You could see the Welsh tackler exaggerating it prior to going back in.

imagine what a man his size could do with aggression, smarts and technique?

[inactionman]

He may just have done

That’s what I thought as well. Gave it the big arms back and then dived in.

They don't have half-backs good enough to do much more than that, or receivers able to stretch a defense, so they're forced to be predictable.

It's a long, long way from the Welsh teams of the 70s that could turn you inside out in a moment

They are playing to the best of their abilities and not making too many mistakes per se. France are just outclassing them.

[Torquemada 1420]

Both accused rapists on now.
