RWC: France v Tonga (Pool C)

[Stargazer]

@Victor-Meldrew I'm sure there are a few more. I've watched so much rugby since the start of the RWC (RWC games, Mitre 10 Cup, NZ Schools), that I can't remember them all anymore.

[Damo]

Why are Tonga paying $16 at the TAB? Just slipped a sneaky $7 on.

[Rapido]

Wtf does Takalua do attacking box kicks, yet uses Faiva to clear their own line? For net gains of 0 to 10 meters.

[Damo]

On replay that might have been harsh. If the ball was out, then the halfback's fingers were on the ball and he was probably fair game to be tackled.

[MiketheSnow]

Tonga will blow this.

Dumb is as dumb does.

Another kick chase and gather by Raka, in traffic.

[ACT Crusader]

Surely a knock on by France on that cross field kick?

[ACT Crusader]

That was clear during live play.

[Bones]

That really didn't look clearly forward on replay?

@ACT-Crusader said in RWC: France v Tonga (Pool C):

Thank fuck for that

[Stargazer]

Glad they decided to have a look at it.

[Machpants]

I almost want France to win cos I have a Wolverine inspired Man crush on Medard's chops

[Stargazer]

I'd love another upset. I don't think it's going to happen, but it would be awesome.

[Rapido]

T2s just can't cope with modern T1 rush defences. Tonga have looked best when they've taken route 1.

Also think an old fashioned 'up and under ' would be a good tactic for some T2s.

[Stargazer]

Yesssssss!

[ACT Crusader]

The drop goal is on kids....

[Stargazer]

Holy sh*t, I never thought this would be so close!

[ACT Crusader]

Argh couldn’t secure the restart.

Not a bad effort by Tonga.

[Bones]

That was absolutely poop by Tonga to finish, they were still going backwards running away from the kick!

[Stargazer]

Well done, Tonga! Only just running out of time.

France should be worried about this performance.
