@MiketheSnow Problem is the RFU is negotiating a multi-million pound bailout with the politicians. Very embarrassing indeed for the game of Rugby in England in the current circunstances.

Would be a bit rich for these to get punished but politicians to get off scot-free

If the politicians were lobbying the RFU & clubs for public money then I'd agree

[sparky]

I think the RFU will get its bailout. Lots of Rugby Clubs have lobbied their MPs. Many of the Cabinet, including the PM are Rugby fans. But this will need to blow over before the annoucement comes.

@Victor-Meldrew In the past they have had a couple of decent players or had organised or cunning coaches. Now they just look not very good.

Campagnaro is one of my favourite players over the last few years.

@sparky

That Garbisi try was something special. Carter-like.

France are building nicely here after a shaky start. They're great fun to watch when their discipline doesn't fail them. Wales going in the opposite direction.

21-13 France in the lead after 35 mins.

Both Wales and Gatland have shat the bed since they parted!

Classic French fullback taken out by his own player when jumping to catch a kick but thought it was a Welsh. Acts like he's been hit in the head with a bat, trainer comes on and must have told him it was his own player so he springs back to his feet as the ball starts coming back in his direction.

[MiketheSnow]

Welsh defensive structure lacking.

Own worst enemies.

France punished slack Welsh play.

Still anyone's match at this point.

[Billy Tell]

Virimi Vakatawa is a fantastic centre. Both on attack and defence. Love watching him play.

[sparky]

Very open game. 31-21. France the better team, but have conceded 13 penalties to Wales' 4. Dupont the French Half Back fantastic again.

[Bones]

Ohhhh...that was slick from Thomas. France will win.

The difference probably just comes down to Dupont. He was electric. Wales halfbacks were ponderous.

[Billy Tell]

French starting front row was great. Superb work rate.

[sparky]

All over. France 38 Wales 21. France developing some very good players. Dupont probably the world 's best player in 2020.

We were shit

Wish we'd had the ref from the Ireland match

Talk about the sporting highlight of 2020.

When Scotland Rugby is strong, World Rugby is strong.

4th loss in a row for Wales. Wayne Pivac not really getting his team firing. WRFU must be tempted to make an approach for Razor's services as Head Coach.

If I were you I wouldn’t take anything I post on here too seriously.

This is even more apt when I’m discussing Scottish Rugby.
