    Confident France Overun Wales

    Good game to watch if you were a French fan of which I'm not.

    The French came to play and Wales were no match for them. We struggled to get over the game line at most of the breakdowns.

    Super Shane was Super quiet and Gavin Henson again decided he'd try to write his own headlines instead of passing to men outside him who were in the clear and cost us the win.

    France wanted the win you could tell that from the outset, Mathieu Bastareaud was simply awesome to watch at outside centre. The only other two players on the French team who weigh more than him were the two props.

    Anyway good on France they deserved the win. Hopefully Ireland will knock off the poms this week and Wales can play Ireland in the last round for the Triple Crown.

    I have to mention the ball that was kicked high and would have gone long by Wales only to hit that stupid aerial camera come bouncing back off it and giving France a much needed possession.

    always failed to understand the logic behind the aerial camera in rugby... of all the ball sports it is the one game where balls sometimes travel higher than the seating...

    Oh pretty close game from the score line i read bad luck to the Welsh tho. So the Irish will be all guns blazing tonight against the Poms to try and take a game clear at the top of the table, hoping this will be very heated defiantly be watching this game!

    CARN THE IRISH!

    i actually like the aerial camera so you can actually see the backline formations and moves, its why i like sitting in the top-tier of suncorp stadium so much.

    I like the concept and the shots you get from it but when your team kick the ball long have plenty of chasers and the opposition full back is under a ruck somewhere and then the ball hits it and it bounces back to where the ball was kicked it puts a whole new concept on it.

    Can't imagine what would have happened if a try had been scored from it.

    You would think that it should be the same as if the ball hits the Ref, not just play on, that's crazy!

    Unfortunate result for the Welsh....I think that most neutrals were hoping for a Wales v Ireland Grand Slam match in the last round. Ah well, at least the Scots gave the Italians a thumping.

    Happy St David's Day to WRF, Badger & any other Taffs that frequent this site!!!

    Cheers to that JK, hopefully we'll play off in the last game for the Triple Crown at least.
