@Billy-Tell said in RWC Week 3: France v Namibia:
Carley just has no feel. Do we really need a YC there?
Change the rules cos they're losing so badly?
-
@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.

No just show some heart.
Dupont off for X-rays

@Dodge said in RWC Week 3: France v Namibia:
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
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.

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.
And they did. 8-7
-
@Billy-Tell is that a romp for you?
-
@Billy-Tell I was trying to say (badly) that with Carter the winning margins would have been much bigger. Without him, it was squeaky bum time.

Lazy French bastards not getting my ton

@MiketheSnow choked against 14 men

You have got to question the RWC qualifying process when Namibia keeps making this tournament, has never won a game having made the tournament 5 x times and keeps getting their arses handed to them without ever improving

Second best team in Africa...
-
Ivory Coast beat Namibia in pool play but then somehow lost to Madagascar. Zimbabwe has been a basket case for a while but did run Namibia close in the playoffs. Really Africa shouldn't get an automatic second team based on the strength of their other nations.
