Wales put up a good fight in the first quarter of the games but France got the upper hand and now the floodgates seem to have opened. France leading 28-0 at halftime.

Thomas Ramos is the best place-kicker I have ever seen.

And they knock on…Wales seem to have no weapons.

Ntmack may be missing some matches following that deliberate shoulder to the head,

Ntmack gets red. Jalibert may be the better player anyway.

Wales failed to plan for the future. All their experienced players retired at the same time and now they're a combination of teenagers and average players who couldn't crack the side before.

The performances of their URC sides doesn't bode well for the future. The relatively tiny country with a population of just over 3m (20% of Gauteng) has long punched above their weight but they're not competing like they used to. Sad to see. Along with NZ, they're the only country who has Rugby Union as their national sport . . . . but they just don't have the numbers.

Red card for the Frogs. Maybe they can get a consolation try?

Uh-oh . . . yellow for Wales and it will end 14 vs 14.

Gregory Alldritt named Man of the Match. Can't disagree.

Yep Wales is a massively different team to the WC 2019 semi Welsh outfit.

And Alldritt scores . . . 43-0. A humiliation for the Welsh. My only consolation is I had Alldritt and both French wingers in my 6N Fantasy team.

What's the point of retaining Gatland?

There's the final whistle. 43-0 the final score.

Makes you wonder how the IRB keep rejecting Georgia's requests to play in the comp while retaining minnows like Wales and Italy.

Jalibert is a class player, but  Ntamack before his injury, he was on fire…he will get there again.

His red card seems kind of harsch as Wales had a similar incident but only got yellow….

Reffing and rules nowadays, is just to invasive it’s a shit show!!

The Welsh player that Ntamack made contact with on the head, is fine and did not have to go thru a HIA.

 

well done france good victory.

Ntamack is definitely harder than Jailbait who is pretty good himself
