Louis Bielle-Biarrey’s pass at minute 55 to French 13 Barassi for another French try. One was tempted to stop watching because this was all so easy. But this was truly a bit of magic, taking a high pass in a rotated right hand above his head…..and then without securing the ball basket balling it back for the try.
His left hand never touched the ball in the catch or the pass and it was all done at speed.
I only caught the highlights couldn't bring myself to watch Italy get hammered.
Will look a lil more closely.
I can't find the 55th minute try.
Italy was walloped but they scored some great tries. Pity they can't be more competitive, they don't look half bad ball in hand.
It was a shame for Italy, they didn’t deserve such a hammering.
I’m just glad France didn’t play like that against us !
Actually that was a replay time stamp.
Most of the French tries were really good…
which one Moz?
Apologies Pakie, there were so many tries….Barassi was actually caught short of the line, but the pass is still there to see around minute 55.
Italy lacked the necessary grunt in the forwards to stop the French pack. They also lacked the stopping power and defensive abilities of centers like Allende and Kriel.
France were good at backing up, running good lines and passing with effect. The French pack set up the win.
Maybe Italy should pick some mobile locks as lose forwards?
Does anyone have a clip of the coolest pass?
I saw it. It was pretty good :)
This pass will become part of board myth and legend.
I'll ask again...
Does anyone have a clip of the coolest pass?
Ja, its not good enough.
I wanna see this wondrous pass please.
Mozzie... get your video editing software out. we want to see the coolest pass!
Sorry this is on my TV recorder….but it’s really brilliant, anybody who hasn’t seen that pass has probably missed the rugby highlight of the millennium..
Better than BoD's pass to himself?
". . .anybody who hasn’t seen that pass has probably missed the rugby highlight of the millennium."
A bigger highlight than Rassie winning his second RWC making the Springboks the most successful RWC team in history?
A bigger highlight than the great Pieter-Steph du Toit winning World Rugby Player of the Year for a second time?
Wow . . . must have been some pass!
LMAO!
Right on cue along comes Time Stamp, having made a fool of himself on the Borthwick string, he is anxious to get a kick in…..but the poor fool misses the tongue in cheek tone.
ROFL…STUPID IS FOREVER.
Wehe . . . Moffie backtracking as fast as his bandy little legs will carry him . . .
The greatest rugby highlight of the millenium was a pass by a French winger that didn't even result in a try. A greater highlight than any of the Springbok RWC wins in 2007, 2019 or 2023.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha!
Nah, Dud Allende could do that Chip-ou. The Louis’ pass was one handed and totally spontaneous. Brian’s pass looks like something he planned to try.
Time Stamp doubles down….look at Pakie’s post above, I was simply going along with the joke. Are the mists clearing?
Kinda boggles the mind that anyone can take that comment seriously.
So Pakie, answer this simple "yes" or "no" question . . . do you think Rassie's success as a 2 time RWC-winning coach is all due to luck?
If your answer is "no" then explain to me what the difference is between Moffie's stupid comment on this thread and Moffie's stupid comments about Rassie on other threads? What makes one a "joke" (from the world's most humourless, dour and unfunny person) and the other one something credible?
Well?
Well? Time Stamp morphs into Foot Stamp!
ROFL!
