France were well beaten by the Germans in 1940 but most of the other wars between the two countries led to French victories.

Not to be too pedantic (and he goes on to be pedantic anyway) I don't think the French can really claim a victory in WW1 either.
And while Napoleon initially had a merry old time in Europe, he ultimately got whipped at Waterloo by a combined English and PRUSSIAN army too

There were Dutch, Hanovrians, Braunschweigers and Nassauers too. Napoleon's army was too weak to face such a coalition.

Haha Kearns is such a bitter flog

France are giving away penalties, they are doing the NZ trick apparently.

The old give away penalties not tries trick. Can't believe only France have cottoned on to this to copy.

Has he mentioned the French number eight using his forearm to push players off? Waiting for moans about that.

[taniwharugby]

Yanks can go nuts and score loads of tries, my try scorer for France has already scored!

USA! USA! USA!

Worked them sideways, split it, them burrowed in.

That yank hooker is a unit

[Kirwan]

Just have to weather this storm, and get the game slow again after 10mins

[Bones]

That bowling ball shaped unit Te'o can bloody shift eh!

[Gunner]

Come on the Trumps, you can do it!

[Gunner]

Very nearly a wonderful long range French try but the last pass is called forward.

[mariner4life]

Unlucky, that was nearly a very sexy try.

US hanging on, they're not a bad side though, some fucking big units

France need to hold the ball and they'll win by 30

[Damo]

France have a distinct lack of finishing ability. They've created a lot of chances and can't seem to convert them.

[NTA]

French replacement THP giving Fry hell

[mariner4life]

Good hustle!

[ACT Crusader]

USA have a 15yo kid as the backup halfback

France lacking the finishing polish with this lineup.

[mariner4life]

Shit option!!!! Hold the fucking thing!

[African Monkey]

An upset brewing?
