Wales looking comfy. France looking pretty clueless though.

I think in fairness to the French, wales should lend them a couple of players, bit of a mis match otherwise.

France are just so frustrating, so many good players, just not seeming like a team.

tbm

The French centres keep getting the ball standing still. They have a lethal back line who look like they've never played together before.

The pitch is in rag order isn't it?

you have a small planet in mid-field with a centre of gravity about 2" off the floor, yet you pass either behind him, or so deep he can make no impact -  odd

Still not sure about Warburtons 'try'  -    wouldnt have made any difference,  France were merd

I wonder what Kone has to say about Rolland now ?   -  

Wales surely clear favourites to beat England now

Well was on a gig last night, so only got final score from mrs by text. 

After watching this morning, I got the feeling Rolland was very hard on French but also Wales got the bounce of the ball.

However, I do think Rolland, was giving payback after sending Warburton off against France, which should not have happened, and cost us a possible RWC final or even a win.

As for England game, I believe we can Win that as the last game was so emphatic and will play on the minds of English players, especially without best props. Will be much closer though.

Now if England and France beat Ireland and Scotland beat France and Wales beat everyone else left then I will be happy. 

Two letters I F but oh so important !

French finaly found out, good job Welsh !

Rolland has no idea about binding - the French tight-head was the problem all evening.

VimFuego

I am not so sure, I think Jenkins is not a scrummager and could not take power, he improved later, but scrum was much more solid with Paul James on.

Cracking finish in Rome!

koneguitarist

Thank god for that, two from three so far, just England to win, and I will have got every result right so far, if not the scores.

VimFuego

got to give credit to the scots, at half time it was all over for them but they showed real heart and focus to come back. A couple of really well taken tries, something they've struggled with in the recent past.

VimFuego

by crickey, it's tense innit.

tbm

Very! 3 points either way will do it I reckon. England looking very threatening in attack. Brown is class.

VimFuego

interestingly, both tries this half have come from mistakes (stupid penalty from us) and poor kick off from Sexton. Barely a fag paper between both teams.

tbm

Unreal English defence.

snakemanStoo

Both teams have had a great game.

Balls. Can't complain. Fair result. Fantastic match.
