Correctly predicted France to win World Cup 2018
France are actually playing decent rugby, whereas Wales just keeping playing rubbish Warrenball. I can see France maybe even extending their lead... or completely imploding
Bold predicitions, at least you didn't cover all basis.France are actually playing decent rugby, whereas Wales just keeping playing rubbish Warrenball. I can see France maybe even extending their lead... or completely imploding
ya just works so well...I think that might be debatable, it's getting easier to get yellows - with good reason too, as the game tries to eliminate neck/head hits.
By the way, I've been working predominantly with SA folks for the last 6 months and I started to fall into saying yahhh too
He should. Bloody idiot. France were so close to finishing us off and he gave us a chance. Even then it's taken 30 mins to get a try and I'm still expecting a France drop goal.That player who got the red card is going to feel like a right cnut(and rightfully so)
It's one player not France.That looked forward to me. Then again after that silly red card, France deserve little.
France fired it away out of a cannon. Such an absurd way to ruin your world cup.France threw that away.
Perhaps. But doesn’t this kind of brain fart happen to France rather more often than other tier 1 teams? This wasn’t a high tackle in the heat/speed of the game. There needs to be a stronger focus on attitude and discipline in the French setup for this to stop happening.It's one player not France.
True. There was some pretty poor kicking from Ntamack too. He converts those easy misses and the card wouldn't have made a difference.France fired it away out of a cannon. Such an absurd way to ruin your world cup.
EDIT: As @JPRouve says, one player did. France actually played well and managed the situation well. A successful drop goal would have been enough.
But there is a difference between the team deserving something and a player penalising his team. If anything the 14 other players did very well for 30 minutes only conceding a contestable try.Perhaps. But doesn’t this kind of brain fart happen to France rather more often than other tier 1 teams?

Such a talented team. Wales were there for the taking and they dropped the ball.
Actually yeah, that first missed conversion would have seen them through too!True. There was some pretty poor kicking from Ntamack too. He converts those easy misses and the card wouldn't have made a difference.
The rest of the team were magnificent. As poor as Wales were, France were fierce. Consistently better in rucks and were managing the red card so well til the debatable try.But there is a difference between the team deserving something and a player penalising his team.

Massive miss for Wales today. Soon as i seen he was missing i knew they would struggle. They were so poor today. Didn't deserve to go though, but France gonna FranceVahaamahina will be lucky if his teammates don't kill him for that.
Gonna need to step it up big time in the semi final. We're capable of it but play like that again and we won't get a reprieve. Hopefully have Davies back for that and fingers crossed Wainwright is ok, no idea how he kept playing after that elbow let alone all the later injuries.
Sorry if you feel it's a generalisation. It seems from 20 years of following Munster and 17 or 18 trips to Wales following Munster and Ireland, as well as yes, years and years of engaging with Welsh fans online.Absolute horrible generalisation here. Classic example of you reading a couple of troll Welsh comments and decide to blanket the whole nation with it. I’m an avid Scarlets fan, I meet many Blues, Ospreys and Dragons fans - we adore the Pro14.
France aren't poor in the 6 nations. Unless if you are only talking about the last years, in that case it's mainly due to a poorer generation but the kids are currently pretty good.Nerves are shredded. How come France are so poor in the 6 nations? They were magnificent today we were very very lucky to get through that. Anyway come on Japan
