First topic message reminder :

Will Wales win the grand slam in style or are France at 2/1 a great bet ( http://www.v2journal.com/betting-deals.html )

Discuss the game here.

[Biltong]

I told you Cuthbert is my favourite.

TRY

[nobbled]

Nice try! Lovely play Wales.

[Shifty]

I think that Joubert has been pretty good Alyn?

He's the best ref in the world, I'm just being one eyed probably.

[eirebilly]

What a turnover though to set the try up..

[eirebilly]

Totally understandable my friend

[Biltong]

What I like about Joubert is his demeanour. He is always calm and very good at communicating to the players

[Shifty]

No harm in going for the ball there Mike, he give that contact a miss there to be honest, lol

[eirebilly]

Superb kick Priestland

[Biltong]

Superb kick Priestland

Every second one, yeah.

[eirebilly]

Rougerie, what a hit on North

[Biltong]

Almost every time Davies gets the ball he beats the first defender.

[Portnoy]

What I like about Joubert is his demeanour. He is always calm and very good at communicating to the players

So long as Yachvilli speaks English.

[Biltong]

Does the North not kick?

[eirebilly]

There are scary signs that France are starting to click

[Shifty]

Cracking game, I hope the French don't gain to much confidence from this.

[eirebilly]

Warbs is having some game isnt he

[Shifty]

Can we just please have the full time whistle now?

[eirebilly]

Superb kick Priestland

Every second one, yeah.

Jaysus you're hard to please. I think that his kicks (except the goal attempt) have been good.

[eirebilly]

France are playing well enough but Wales are on fire

[Biltong]

Can we just please have the full time whistle now?

No, you need to sit through 80 minutes of this, then it will go.

[Shifty]

YES!

We love you 1/2p!!!!

10-3

[niwatts]

The French chase on their kicks is really half-hearted. Makes the selection of Beauxis look even less credible.

[eirebilly]

Lydiate is all over the place

[Biltong]

Superb kick Priestland

Every second one, yeah.

Jaysus you're hard to please. I think that his kicks (except the goal attempt) have been good.

When you consider their try came from a counter then it stands to reson they should use that dangerous back line better.

Look at the little attacking kick Roberts used. It was effective, the players got there and France had to run the ball out. Welsh line out.

If Priestland kicks and there aren't welsh players to put pressure it is a waste.

That's why I say every second one, becuase some were useless.

[Biltong]

See Hlafpenny's kick there. that worked.

[Hood83]

Oh God, are all the commentators Welsh?...greeeeat. Butler and Jiffy showing a total lack of objectivity as usual.

Cracking try by Cuthbert though, for a big guy he seems to have something that most wingers don't these days - a great swerve. An appropriate trait this week i think.

[eirebilly]

Sorry biltong, i just dont see it the way you do. I think that Priestlands kicking has been very good.

[Shifty]

France are playing well enough but Wales are on fire

[Biltong]

Sorry biltong, i just dont see it the way you do. I think that Priestlands kicking has been very good.

Fine.

[Adam D]

If the ref from last weeks game had refereed this one, the game would be stopping every two seconds.

As it is, the ref is allowing a great deal of excitement and open play.

Well played ref (not perfect but you have certainly made it a spectacle!)

How many French people do you think are watching the BBC?

+1

Joubert is class

[Biltong]

Billy?

[eirebilly]

Dont say a word biltong

[eirebilly]

Billy?

Feck off

[nobbled]

Jiffy's giggling is irritating. Good play from Wales and at least France are giving it a go.

[Biltong]

Billy?

Feck off

[eirebilly]

Billy?

Feck off

[Hood83]

Really enjoying watching Yachvili have a shocker, mwahahaha!

[Shifty]

Please kick it

[eirebilly]

Really enjoying watching Yachvili have a shocker, mwahahaha!

Saddist

[gelodge]

The French have obviously been told not to commit numbers to the breakdown and it's costing them gilt edged opportunities.

[Adam D]

This first half has been immense - fast paced, exciting and no real controversy. Rugby at its best.

[Biltong]

Good game overall, plenty of continuity and not stop start.

[Shifty]

ah dang...

France must be cacking themselves though, Wales look frightening at the moment.


France will start to tire early, 3 internationals in 3 weeks, lots of semi injured players and 6 days rest from their last game, will hopefully catch up with them.

[Hood83]

I can't stand hearing BBC commentators (all of them) referring to Wales as 'we'. SOME pretence of objectivity at least please. Oh god, tell a lie, if it keeps Inverdale off the mic keep it up!

[manofgwent]

So pleased we've built up a lead.France aren't looking to play any rugby, so a can't see us getting back in touch. Danny Lydiate gas been immense. The 2 2nd rows have also been fantastic and we have strength on the bench. I won't even criticise Priestland. I could but I won't. Save it for another day.

[Woodstock]

It is WE they are Welsh they are commentation on Wales!!

[Shifty]

One moment of lack of concentration and France can easily score a try at the start of the second half and all the momentum swings their way.

their is nothing in this really, though Wales are the better team at the moment.

[Shifty]

Oh for gods sake, Sam injured again... and we have no openside on the field.

Can;t the injuries give us a break, just once?
