I thought Barnes was good in reffing...France All Blacks...for a change but yellow carding the no 5 Maestri was unfair,,,the tussle was over after that in the dying moments...killed the contest.

Good contest...French showed talent in early stages but the AB's always masters got the upperhand eventually despite a few missed penalties and one conversion.

What makes the AB's superior is that they seem to know the winning formula and even though they make the occassional error their game is sound...wish we had guys like Dagg and Ranger. Incidentally the Frogs were impressive but cannot finish...their biggest weakness...they were astonishingly good in the first 20 minutes and were unlucky with 2 try attempts...Dusautour was brilliant and Saffa no 8 Claassen...how did we lose him? Playing for the wrong country.

 Seb the day the French stop fielding an 848 kg pack they will be much better off. 

That Yellow was very unfortunate. The yellow should have gone against the ewee ab Jersey puller. Abs might then just have scraped home. 

Classen would not make it here. Botha and Vermuelen etc. Good luck to him.

OOps Sorry,Nigel Owens...the Taffy...sometimes mix them up...Wayne Barnes another kettle of fish.

Somebody is going to mock me for this...strangely in Wales or England they speak terrible English and have similar dogmatic ways of reffing. Was concentating on the game and not refs...thought it was too good to be true. These guys have very little individualism or reffing styles
