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

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

      French starting front row was great. Superb work rate.

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

              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.

                    One of my Scottish mates waxing lyrical about MotM Hamish Watson, on how 'even Gatland' must pick him. My reply, mate, it's only Georgia. He got in a huff

                      @Machpants I'm not sure that being a Gatland pick would be a great commendation this year..

                        This Welsh team is rubbish. Their forwards are slow and clumsy, their backs pedestrian and have no organization whatsoever in defence.
                        After a slow start, the French attack and work at the breakdown were impressive. Big game from Baille, Dupont, N'tamack and Vakatawa. Did you know that the latter was NZ born ?

                          Even money bet these days.

                          Just watching the replay of this fixture and economics must be bad in the NH. Wales wearing Liverpool's new shirts.

                              Interesting to hear the commentators talk about France's buildup to hosting the next World Cup. After years of ignoring the Junior Rugby Champs they have won the last 2 and those young players are starting to come through.

                                    Exeter don't get much representation despite being the best team in England and Europe.

                                      They have some outstanding loosies. Ted Hill and Willis are both highly promising players. Yeah, not sure how Heinz keeps on getting picked.

                                        Probably why they do so well, depth is not tested by players leaving for England. So you can do it the Exeter way (really good squad, not too many superstars) or the Saracens way (buy so many players that missing internationals don't hurt). Only one way is legal
