Crowd noises, either very faint or none existent for me?

No crowd would be my guess..

France need to adapt to Pearce who is not letting any competition at the breakdown so the strategy of tackle + jackal is not working and allowing front foot ball. Need to hit harder and just slow them down.

Super Saturday working out very well for organizers..

Every game getting better.

Really enjoying this one as a neutral...

Hinty hint.
All games on a Saturday please.

F**k off Pearce. Gives that crossing but not the Welsh one at the other end before he pinged Dupont. Consistency please.

The crowds don't turn up on Saturdays by the look of it

Would bring Jelonch and Villier on now. Backrow way too passive and Thomas is playing harem scarum as if 50pts up.

That looked oK to me

Butler is getting on my proverbials.

I didn't see that grounded

Total implosion in mental fortitude. Soooooooooo France.

That's not grounded

Doesn't matter. Pearce's question means it's a try.

Yeah, really not sold on that being grounded.

Well you would say that Jiffy, Wasn't grounded.

Grounded..

French player tripped Adams while he was on the floor. It's a penalty try. Surprised Barnes has missed that.

get rid of the TMO....too much of a waste of time

Grounded? Maybe. But ref have a superb game

Not sure how much more evidence you need. Hand clearly under the ball.

Didn't the Welsh player play the ball on the ground?

A player on the ground without the ball is out of the game and must:

Not play the ball.

He was fine, the French player on the ground who tackled Adams was out of the game though. Would have been a penalty try anyway.

Even if he isn't held? I honestly don't know.

The Law needs to change to either always attacking side benefit of doubt or other way. I don't care but the current system results in inconsistency.

Thomas is having a f**king mare. Get Villier on

Italy put more grunt into the tackles than this

Flipping eck he got it.

And this should be Haouas last cap. Poor man's Atonio.

No try - simultaneous with the touchline

The quality of commentary is not good from all 3.

France have totally bottled this.

Yes. That is half the story. The other half is why the f**k they are being so passive in the tackle. Making North look quick.

Ollivon has faded into oblivion since the Ireland game.

LRZ is a very handy new attack weapon

Oh. And that's why Jelonch should have been on at 1/2 time for this game.

Of course he was going to pose the question that way

So joy neville overrules an onfield decision last week but barnes cant overrule an obvious non try this week. why is this? what is the point of the tmo?
The refs this 6 nations have been shocking.
This thing of having to ask a certain question to the tmo. Whats that about?
Just try to find out from the refs with the big telly if its a try or not! Simple question. If its not obvious to loads of cameras then it isnt a try.

How about a yellow eh Pearce?

Yellow FFS

Should still be yellow.
