RWC Week 3: France v Namibia

[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.

Jinxed it

[stodders]

Anyone else got Miles Harrison on comms?

[Billy Tell]

ZZ top at lock for Namibia

[Machpants]

just time to get the ton vs 13

[Billy Tell]

Carley just has no feel. Do we really need a YC there?

Change the rules cos they're losing so badly?

[stodders]

@Billy-Tell surprised he didn’t ask French players for an autograph at the end there. He was v happy to shake their hands.

Annoyingly technical ref who comes across as quite patronising.

[MN5]

Namibia prove their immense worth in a RWC again……

[Machpants]

I only had video no sound at work, any comment on DuPont's status?

[Dodge]

Dupont has gone to hospital with a suspected fractured jaw (I thought it looked like cheekbone). Brad Barritt played 5 days after having a plate put into his cheek so

No just show some heart.

Dupont off for X-rays

French TV are saying getting cheek x-ray and concussion concerns.

Nothing about jaw. Though everyone will be very tight lipped I suspect.

Madness not to pull him at half time.

[stodders]

@mooshld sometimes you have to overcome big blows. NZ got home after Carter on the back of the momentum they gained from the home crowd and playing for each other.

France may do the same.

[mooshld]

Honestly France have enough depth. But you want to see the best players playing.

[stodders]

@mooshld France don’t have another Dupont. The other teams won’t fear them as much without him.

[stodders]

Same was said about NZ in 2011. A fit Carter and NZ romp to that win. Without him, everyone else felt they had a chance.
