France vs Wales

Watched a few out of curiosity. France with early dominance but Wales are up for it, pulled back a try and now matching France blow for blow for the last 10 minutes or so. 19-7 France.

France have started playing their lateral tossing the ball around game with not much success.

I think Bielle-Barre could beat Wales by himself.

And now Anton cooks up some of his crap and France score.

Oh no, it wasn't a try. My feed was stuttering and it looked like they got over.

No man, what happened to Cymru am byth?

Anton almost makes a try again for France. Superb fend on #6 Wainwright.

Great turnover Wales and then a dumbass attempted kick by a forward, France picks up and it's try time. Pity. It was pretty much even stevens for the last 20 minutes.

26-7 HT.

"No man, what happened to Cymru am byth?"

Still hoping Wales can do something in the second half but there's reality and then there's delusion.

Ja they're not being bulldozed but there's nothing in their arsenal that will threaten France. Still, they're giving it a good go.

France maul it over.

Wales now rumbling, France turn it over. Wales just needed to take better options in that attack and the chance was there.

Great interplay between Ramos and Le Beep off the kick gather opens it up and France in again. Not a bad passage from Wales but Ramos and Le Beep's instinctive combination is something only experience can buy and anticipate.

Looks like the floodgates are going to open now.

Easy try France off the cross kick, no Welsh player even near the wing. 47-7

And another. Gonna be a tough last 20 for Wales.

Damn, Wales come thundering back and gets within centimeters of scoring.

Commentator getting a bit too cozy, first talking about how attractive the French forwards are and now calling a "kinky" offload.

Well far from capitulating in the last 20 Wales are absolutely bringing it.

Jellybear the leading offloader in the tournament, plus MOTM.

Wales on the line again, come on boys, get it. Held up over the line but they have a penalty.

And they go wide and get the try. Well this side may have its limitations but heart isn't one of them. They've been dominant in the last 20.

Good play by Rees-Zammit and Wales get a consolation try at the death.

54-12. It's a drubbing, but that last 20 minutes made it feel like less than that.

Well done France. Can't see anyone preventing a clean sweep in this year's 6N.

Wales just don't have the player depth of old and when your one and only world-class player is crocked, scorelines like this are going to become the norm.

Interesting comment at the end there that I didn't know . . . France have won 5 of the 7 6N tournaments following a British Lions tour. If they win this year it will be 6 out of 8.

Food for thought.
