Have to work out who you mean each time.

Sounds like some sort of carcinogenic plastic

I think BPA-free is a selling point for water bottles....

Fuck what was blue 7 thinking? Just kill the clock?

Set up for a first-phase try.

But we'll lose the lineout

Villiere the left winger for France is playing very well for a 7s player.

[Tim]

@nta looked tired?

[booboo]

Further to the Gordon roll forward earlier, how come Frog halfwit can roll it backwards with his hands in a ruck?

Very active no matter what is happening.

I think he saw most of his team in front of him and was trying to soak up time. Ended up being very passive and fucking it up

To'omua has to start putting his stamp on the game. He's a passenger right now.

[KiwiMurph]

I forgot Hooper playing for the first 30 mins

[Kirwan]

Not a bad game for a neutral. Some promising play from both teams.

Does feel like France has more trys in them, gelling better so far

[Tim]

@kiwimurph He was involved in the maul turnover from holding up a ball carrier, but that was it.

Don’t know what he was trying to achieve in his half-time interview by saying “hope the ref sees that”, when talking about the Wallabies trying to play at speed.

Matt, forget about the refs and just tackle, pass and run….

@tim None of the Wallaby back row have done a whole lot. In fact most of the forwards aren't doing much except decent scrum work.

Really need the ball carriers - Valetini, Wilson, and the second row - to up their workrate and start getting their pods in order.

Given the Wallabies have had the majority of possession, they’ve used their bigger units to do most of the ball carrying. Hooper has been there just help secure possession.

Not greatly effective tho. Wonder how soon Tupou will be introduced?

Harrison is still a plonker.

Amazed that the Wallaby pack is ~50 kg heavier, not that you would know it by on-field performance. But that's a huge difference between tier 1 teams.

That scrum weight must be BS right? French pack looks bigger to me, certainly more physical

Valetini is noticeably stockier than each of the French back rowers. And the French hooker is not a big unit compared to BPA.
