I do kind of miss Parcy around here though. What happened to him?

Sucks for Wales. They know their systems tho so...

Parkes looking like a second rate club level player.

[Rembrandt]

Surely there can't be any french magic in this one. Wales by 13.

[ACT Crusader]

Good start by France.

[Kirwan]

Great start from France. Wales don’t want to let them get confidence

[ACT Crusader]

Try time.

[Kirwan]

@ACT-Crusader pretty easy too

[Machpants]

@Rembrandt this is all your fault!

[Damo]

France have looked good in the first half of games. Let's see if they can keep it up in the second half.

[kiwiinmelb]

Bloody France , can’t trust the bastards

[ACT Crusader]

Good to see some direct running from the French in that build up.

Try time.

[Bones]

France could not be more French.
