Wales Vs France, Six Nations 2020

[sparky]

Nothing clear and obvious there, even on super slow mo. Jiffy and Eddie Butler need to calm down.

Young French replacement Props (aged 20 and 21) struggling now.

Romain Ntamack is a future all timer.

He’s going to give us some rugby nightmares in the future. Serious talent.

Reminds me a bit of Dan Carter. See things on the Rugby field before they happen. Super calm.

[sparky]

Ten to go. Impressive character and resilience by Wales to be still in this.

France very impressive but still Ill -disciplined at times.

[sparky]

Biggar over with six to go. Did he ground the ball? On field decision is try.

[sparky]

Try given by the TMO. Looked a bit rough on Ntamack IMHO. Four point ball game with 5 minutes to go.

23-27.

[sparky]

Wayne Barnes, a touch judge, penalises Alun Wyn Jones and he is not happy at all.

[sparky]

Kick wide. 2 and a half minutes to go.

[sparky]

Ntamack rightly named MoM.

[sparky]

Impressive breakout by Wales reaches the France 22. But Tompkins holds on too long on the ground. Penalty.

Kicked out. All over. Wales 23 France 27.

3 out of 3 for France in 2020 6 Nations so far.

[sparky]

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.

Worth watching just to see what watching rugby could be without commentators

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
