RWC Week 3: France v Namibia

[MajorPom]

France looking fantastic. DuPont playing well but getting the credit for everything according to the itv comms.

[stodders]

ITV coverage - “there might have been a forward pass in here” but let’s not bother with that when speaking about French 3rd try.

Ok, so we knew it already after 2007. France can throw forward passes with impunity because they play sexy rugby

[stodders]

@MajorRage he is very good. I’ve seen Fourie du Preez kick off both feet and destroy teams with his running and passing. But he wasn’t French

[Billy Tell]

Deysel adding fuel to the RC fire.

[Dodge]

Slightly worried Dupont may have fractured a cheekbone there…

[stodders]

Dupont does not look happy there.

[stodders]

@Dodge that was a big hit to his face

[Dodge]

@stodders yep, really nasty

[stodders]

I bet Galthié wishes he’d subbed him off at half time

[taniwharugby]

You don't want to wish that on anyone, but with WRs compete incompetence in dealing with this issue over the pastbfew years, if we lose one of the games stars right now, particularly from one of the biggest nations, might make them sit up and take things more seriously

[stodders]

Always knew that was going to be a red for no other reason than Dupont was on the receiving end.

[Machpants]

How, even aside from Carley, does a team only give away 2 penalties in 60 mins versus a team that normally causes so much pressure that the opposition gives away more than a dozen? France must be amazing, what an achievement

They may make the ton, now

[stodders]

If Dupont is injured, it would be like NZ losing Carter in 2011. Up to the rest to stand up. Galthié had best call up France’s Stephen Donald too.

[stodders]

Carley calls advantage over for Namibia so quickly.

[Billy Tell]

The France 11 has a good to chance to oust the other 11 from the top team imo.

[stodders]

@Billy-Tell Kolbe like

Jinxed it

[stodders]

Anyone else got Miles Harrison on comms?

[Billy Tell]

ZZ top at lock for Namibia
