    Great early play from France results in the first try. France 5-0 Wales. Wales can’t seem to hold onto possession.

        France the better team but better decision making and accuracy and it could easily be 13-10 us

          Impressed with the French 14 and 8. Wales lack of ball control hurting them.

            Les Frogs all handling like Jo Maso. Kicking like Adam Jones...

            Apart from Liam Williams, Wales look all over the place

              Williams is a greedy fuck. France are definitely looking interested. Picamoles is a beast.

                  @Crucial yeah they have improved but both were journeymen at supper level in NZ, not even starters often. Aki the same, tho he had 3 years to improve. I guess playing at higher level had improved their games, something they never would have got the chance of here

                  @Machpants I think many players would thrive being surrounded by higher level players, plus the different style at the club level may be more suited too.

                  Similarly I suspect there would be some handy players in the NH comps who cant quite crack it if they came down here they might flourish too with the different style.

                      To be fair, he's the only Welsh player not regularly dropping the ball

                          Wales will want to forget that half in a hurry. 16-0 Frogs, should possibly be more.

                            Anscombe can't run a bath tonight, let alone a backline.

                            You are the weakest link.

                            Goodbye.

                              Entertaining rugby in the wet. Good fun game so far (for the neutrals, sorry Mike).

                              Looking forward to seeing the Welsh 2nd half response

                                Obviously doesn't rain much in Wales, they can't deal with it πŸ˜‚

                                    I know they have probably improved and it sounds snarky but I still can't work out how Anscombe and Parkes are first selections in a Tier 1 team.

                                    Anscombe having an absolute mare of a game. Parkes with a knock on and not much else.

                                      Absolute stinker of a first half from Wales. They look undercooked. If Gatland is pushing for a job coaching the All Blacks or even a NZ Super franchise, he will need his side to play a lot better than this.
