If Wales had Gats back a little earlier …. Got to be France in France shirley ? |
You've always been a Francophile so no surprise there really.
I still say South africa because while the French can be devastatingly brilliant on their day, the exact same team can also be awful.
The Boks are usually pretty much the same whatever and recently they have proved to be a very powerful side. |  | | |

Nor do I, they virtually killed RL during the 2nd world war.
RL was massive before the war, far bigger than RU, the vichy government banned and stole all its money.
RL in france has never recovered.
France are second behind England when it comes to RU for teams i want to lose. |  | | |

Very unfortunate for the AB's and the player, but they have some exceptional players that can come in on the wings.
Tonight's game between Les Bleus v AB's should be a cracker. |  |

France need to improve big time otherwise they will lose. Far too conservative in that first half. Should have gone for a penalty kick to touch rather than go for the missed 3 points. NZ playing the more adventurous Rugby. Unless the French up it my money is on the All Blacks. Hopefully I'm wrong. | | | |

Interesting 1st half ,good start from the ABs with an early try which I thought more would follow but both sides looking nervous hence the kicking , two penalties awarded for collapsing the scrum which seems to be the ABs weakness and considering the conditions the ball handling from both sides has been excellent .Just wondering who's going to take a few chances to get a grip on the game otherwise it's going to be more of the same | |

France second half .. different animal. Clinical!!
Sorry guys never forgiven the All Blacks for Andy Haden jumping out of the lineout and cheating Wales out of most of us viewing Wales first ever win against the ABs | | | |
