RWC Week 3: France v Namibia

[Bones]

Geez that's a turn up for the books. French player never onside but gets awarded the penalty by Carley. Oh but Namibia are the opposition so business as usual.

[pooler fan]

This could get very, very ugly. 😬

[Dodge]

Well I didn’t notice the dodgy decision but Jesus France are on fire. Going from everywhere, every trick in the book. 54 points in the first half.

[Billy Tell]

Namibia are terrible. Dupont is excellent. Still reckon the French defence is a bit porous. WR really needs to give the weakest 4 sides a hand to improve. Romania, Namibia, Chile and Uruguay or Portugal.

[Jailbreak7]

Yes but France are like this aren't they. They can look like a million $$$ against lesser lights, but let's face it, they haven't really been tested yet, much as it pains me to say it.

[MajorRage]

France looking fantastic. DuPont playing well but getting the credit for everything according to the itv comms.

[stodders]

ITV coverage - “there might have been a forward pass in here” but let’s not bother with that when speaking about French 3rd try.

Ok, so we knew it already after 2007. France can throw forward passes with impunity because they play sexy rugby 😂😂😂😂

[stodders]

@MajorRage he is very good. I’ve seen Fourie du Preez kick off both feet and destroy teams with his running and passing. But he wasn’t French 😂

[Billy Tell]

Deysel adding fuel to the RC fire.

[Dodge]

Slightly worried Dupont may have fractured a cheekbone there…

[stodders]

Dupont does not look happy there.

[stodders]

@Dodge that was a big hit to his face

[Dodge]

@stodders yep, really nasty

[stodders]

I bet Galthié wishes he’d subbed him off at half time 🙈

[taniwharugby]

You don't want to wish that on anyone, but with WRs compete incompetence in dealing with this issue over the pastbfew years, if we lose one of the games stars right now, particularly from one of the biggest nations, might make them sit up and take things more seriously

[stodders]

Always knew that was going to be a red for no other reason than Dupont was on the receiving end.

[Machpants]

How, even aside from Carley, does a team only give away 2 penalties in 60 mins versus a team that normally causes so much pressure that the opposition gives away more than a dozen? France must be amazing, what an achievement

[Machpants]

@stodders said in RWC Week 3: France v Namibia:

They may make the ton, now

[stodders]

If Dupont is injured, it would be like NZ losing Carter in 2011. Up to the rest to stand up. Galthié had best call up France’s Stephen Donald too.

[stodders]

Carley calls advantage over for Namibia so quickly.
