Game of 2020 so far IMHO. France beginning to look like the business.
Cracking game. Thing which impressed me was Les Frogs composure when running riot and when under the pump. Ntamak Jr particularly impressive.

As with all our 'close' matches the past 12 months, outplayed for most of the match but still in with a shout then we force it and lose.
Had more than enough opportunities to win that especially when France were down to 14 men but we lacked critical composure and clinical decision making.
Disappointing.

Definite knock down, should have been at least yellow.
Penalty try not certain.
Poor reffing.

Ref got it about right IMHO. The hand was out to make the tackle. Not clear and obvious that it was an intentional knock down or that the player would have scored.

I'm with this. Seemed more 'ball into hand' than 'hand into ball'. Maaaaybe a penalty, btu no way a YC or PT. It's just rugby

No, definitely knocked forward...

Just finished watching this without knowing the score and was impressed with the quality. France at times played with real pace and width. Something that has been missing from their play for sometime. Helps that they have a few more fit forwards that can cover the field.
I take my hat off to Wales as they play like they’re never out of a contest and just keep plugging away.

The most impressive for me was France positional play, they hardly ever had kicked ball hitting green space. Their box kicks and Garyowens were also more accurate. The team is mostly young and they have some more U20 talent waiting in the wings. They will be aiming to win RWC2023 rather than flop like in 2007.
