Wales v France

[Catogrande]

@MiketheSnow Front row and back row both look better this week, but why oh why is there no Reffell there. If it wasn't for Jan Morgan, he ought to have had a hatful of caps by now. With Morgan out he really should be a shoo-in.

The backs do not inspire one bit though.

Agree 100%

Pity is we could have France's backs and still not win

We don't win enough clean, quick ball

Very easy to defend against, especially if Shaun Edwards is in charge

[Catogrande]

@MiketheSnow

I was fuming when England let Edwards slip through their fingers and he turned to the dark side over the river, but you lot must be flabbergasted that your people let let him go when they had him and he was happy (ish) there?

France 12-0 up after 11 minutes.

LB-B in for the second try after lots of forward work and a clever cross kick.

[sparky]

The Welsh loosehead prop, Carre, borrows over just as it looked like France were going to run away with it. 7-19 to the visitors.

Fast, fun game under the roof so far.

[sparky]

LB-B proves he is human with a terrible pass after a sublime line break.

[sparky]

Really impressive short passes and offloads from the big French forwards.

The commentary Ying and Yang. Andrew Cotter and Jonathan Davies

Who's the Danny guy they keep going to? Danny Care?

[sparky]

Attisogbe in for a try after a masterful kick from Antonie Dupont.

[sparky]

And the TMO has found something.

Attisogbe was offside at the kick so it's ruled out.

[sparky]

Wales with a rare attacking scrum. Can you do anything with it?

[sparky]

France blow another one.

[Bones]

You fucking knob. You don't kick it.

[sparky]

Jalibert in after a late Valentine day's gift by Welsh lock Adam Beard with as dumb a kick as you are ever going to see.

[sparky]

Even though Wales are playing a bit better than last wee, they are still crap.

[sparky]

Half time.

Wales 7 France 26.

France made a massive 533 metres running past the gain line in that half.

[sparky]

The skills gap between these two sides is as wide as the Pacific Ocean.

Credit to Wales for staying at it when they are being utterly outclassed.

[pooler fan]

@sparky he can barely pass so what on earth made him think he was going to put a pin point kick into space is beyond me.
I'd have subbed the twat off after that if I was the coach.

[sparky]

Who's the other bloke with Martin Johnson and Sam Warburton?
