If that’s not a red then there’s no consistency

If it's a Red Card then Ntamack will be unavailable for the England game at Twickenham. And Jalibert is currently having a sulk.
Jalibert dropped because he had a sulk

Correct decision

Zero gainline efficiency from Wales, our carriers simply aren't big or strong enough to get over the gainline at all.
Sounds like Wales' nil total might be flattering them to them.
As I write this I note the Ntamack card gets upgraded to red. -

We’ve had more than enough ball in the right parts of the field to score tries but we haven’t had the power to break the gain line or the guile to unlock the French defence

@MiketheSnow Not watching live, can you advise what the Wales yellow card was for thanks?
-
Strangely unappetising game. Just too one-sided. Wales looked slow and predictable, Les Frogs hardly looked like breaking sweat. Best bit was the punch-up under the French posts in the 2nd half
Thought the Ref was pretty good. Clear comms and warnings but not whistle happy
-
Wales will struggle to score a try in this tournament.
Few decent individual performances but France didn't have to get out of 2nd gear to run away with that game.
Sad times for us . -

What has happened to Wales ? They used to have any number of backline beasts in Robert’s, Davies, North etc.
James and Llewelyn should start in midfield next week
Both lumpers

Sad times for us .Though Thomas, your 10 did OK (some weird kicks though) as did Tomas the Half. Adams needs talking to after his confrontation with the Ref. Real stupid shit.

Offside
But continued team YC warning from Williams
-
I'm guessing the problem is the word defence doesn't have a direct Welsh translation?
Also note for Paul Williams: If the ball is off the ground, it's not a ruck, so why are you telling people to "leave it"?
-
Firstly, a positive, Wales started both halves brightly but their attack is so blunt and predictable they probably wouldn't score if playing another 40 mins.
Tomos Williams has always looked like a handbrake at halfback to me, and along with Ben Thomas the kicking game was terrible. I felt sorry for the starting locks and loose forwards who tried hard and never gave up. But there are major problems in other areas, notably front row and the inside backs.

Jac Morgan was immense
Lions calibre

Who throws those highlights together? AI running on a Commodore 64?
20 seconds of the decision being made for the first yellow card, 70 seconds for the yellow/upgraded-to-red; but zero footage of the first, and just the incidental real-time of the second.Best thing about the game looked to be: the on-screen graphics look slick (other than that atrocious new logo). Finally updated for modern high-resolution displays.

I'm watching this now, France just scored it's first try
Rugby loves to say its a game of constant contest
And this game is proving its bullshit
Rucks are a fucking shit fight of attacking players sealing the ball or diving off their feet
Wales are feeding every scrum straight under the looseheads feet
I've barely seen a straight lineout
Dupont continually runs behind his own players and is allowed to.The ref is talking but doing fuck all.

And now the forward pass rule doesn't exist
