What I messaged my Welsh mate who last night asked my thoughts on game:
So close. But I think France in the end deserved the win. At 27-20, when LRZ try (which would have been decisive) wasn’t awarded, but Wales got penalty in front, they ought to have taken scrum. Burned up time and fair chance of try to finish it. Penalty was soft option. As it was from 20-30 France were like team possessed and Wales went into shell. Replacements didn’t help and Wales kept missing touch when they needed time to compose themselves. Four cards in last 20 and should have been five. Bonkers.
That said, Wales played excellent rugby and had the edge for first 60, and in particular first half of second half. I think they will dominate Lions squad. -

Now watched. Had clocked quite a lot of this, but the HUGE influence of a Ntamack was something which I hadn’t grasped. Fickou has become a wonderful 12.

Ntsmack is quality. Jalibert is to Ntmack what Cruden was to Carter.

Scottish kicking game is superb

France reading their own press
Trying to score tries from their own goal line.
Madness

Wayne Barnes is the referee. I presume even 13 and a half years on from that game in Cardiff, he gets great room service whenever he stays in Paris.

Stupid from Scotland
Tempo has dropped and letting France back in to it
-
Scotland will be kicking themselves
Two errors and total dominance nullified
Should let France score rather than going to 14 men

Van der Merve now 4th choice Lions left wing
France 13-10 Scotland
