6N 2022 : Wales v France

[Daffy Jaffy]

Penaud tests positive for COVID ahead of Wales

France duo Romain Taofifenua and Damian Penaud have tested positive for COVID-19, forcing coach Fabien Galthie to make changes from the team who beat Scotland two weeks ago.

Fickou probably my favourite player to watch at the moment. He's on some tear.

Re Basham. Did you see Squidge's take on the game? Whilst he seems a fan of bash he was critiquing his ruck play or non play being more to the point. In the examples he showed he may have a point but I'm loath to trust three highlighted incidents over several games.

Yep

Not convinced

Our best forward this 6N by a mile

Great analysis on the lineout

And also England after 2 phases. Real time, you could see they had an awful attack. Once it's pointed out, there is no structure. Bizarre for England to try and play that way, they're not a play what you see in front of you team.

[MiketheSnow]

Best stadium in the world

Bar none

And that’s our lot for the evening 😉

[Bones]

The way France work that inside space with their short handling and angles. Delicious.

[MiketheSnow]

Exploited the space created by Tomos being out for the count

Excellent

[Bones]

Hah, hit and hope by Wales, 10m out attacking bomb. Yuck.

[Bones]

Duly punished.

[MiketheSnow]

Best ref of the 6N so far
By a mile

[MiketheSnow]

That is an unbelievable half for us
Negated Wokie
Stopped their go forward

If we hadn’t made stupid decisions we could be leading this

Wales 9-10 France
Halftime

Yeah as good as France are to watch, they make some absolute clangers.

[MajorRage]

Both teams trying to set the world record for kicks in a match.

Which oddly enough, doesn’t explain why it’s been a very entertaining game!

Welsh backs good at finding space. But terrible at using it.

France to ease away 2nd 40.

Owens terrible comms. Says the referee has been letting things go, as he is a strict referee.

[Victor Meldrew]

Watching with a 15 minute delay, but really enjoying this game. Faletau having a great game.

[MiketheSnow]

France have presented us with plenty of opportunities to take the lead but we aren’t good enough to oblige

[pakman]

If Wales don’t get a try soon, I can see French pulling a little magic and game gone.

[MajorRage]

How to bomb a match.

Deserved to get pulled.

Zero penetration in the Welsh backline. Not much better in the forwards. Welsh tactics are good though and disrupting France. Very even game.
