    Well done Bleus.
    Wish I was in France, congratulating some French hotties, and allowing them to console me.

      Absolutely smacked
      France won thr kicking
      France won the set piece
      France won the contact

      ABs made errors. ABs gave away penalties. ABs decision makers were terrible.

          Two people who need much greater criticism: Schmidt and Ryan.

          They continue to select for and play this game.

            ugh, that was a rough watch in the second half. France deserved the win.

            France didn't anything other than kick deep. All they needed to do. Our braindead team and tactics tried to run/short kick from our 22. Phucked up and France pinned us back down again. They didn't play until deep into the 2nd half. All the territory was from long kicks.

              I'm putting the responsibility on the players for the 2nd half. They are the ones that kicked poorly and gave away too many stupid penalties.

                  The reality is that this AB team is very poor. I think Italy have a chance of denying us a Quarter Final spot.

                      But it's not the forwards putting up contestables from our 22 then having to defend when they lose the ball. It's going to work against Italy etc and then Foster will come out and say, "told ya it works."

                      Its the same game they played against SA and humped.

                        20-0 second half.
                        Wow, well done France.

                        Forwards went OK, except for scrums, lineouts, ruck work and defence.
                        Backs were alright except for tackling, kicking and contesting the bombs.

                        ON the bright side, there's plenty of opportunity to go upf rom here 🙂

                        Seriously, though, key moment at the ned of the first half. 9-8 and instead of applyng pressure to tired forwards, we try for a hero play. It's the mindset in this team - no patience. SF is a win for us, QF exit is likely.

                            Queue the over-reactions. We didn't expect to win, we have tons of injuries, no depth on the bench etc. Things didn't quite flow for us, some 50/50 moments certainly, not really sure it was a 14 point game but alas. We won't fucking lose to Italy, we'll blow them away. Chances are we take on Ireland in the QFs, which probably suits us more.

                              One of Beaudy or Mo'unga need to be dropped.

                              We can't have two chip kick merchants knocking around.

                              Im going to smash my TV up if they do that again.

                                it was the forwards again today. Too many errors and penalties, particularlya t the scrum

                                  Problem is, we'll annihilate the other two, get ahead of Italy on points doff and then get smoked against our own farts in the QF.
