Would have been good of them to show up today then. Jones should have manned up and taken the drop goal when Wales had their chance, 40M is tough but they weren't going anyway and France weren't going to give away a penalty in that situation.
Yeah. Just like when England lost their first game 33-0 against South Africa first game last world cup and we got to the final.
That's the second time you've made a retarded statement about the 3rd place playoff. Do you actually understand the concept of it?
He never would have got it, they had to utilise their backs better.. but the Wales backs were very ahh knock-on prone which is exactly what happened as soon as they tried it.
Halfpenny's kick was only short by what must have been about a foot... so unlucky. Hook missed two sitters, but tbf to him he did slip on one.
Wales played some excellent rugby there, showed so much character IMO. Phillips was excellent. France defended extremely well too. Quality game of rugby.
Wales were the better side all game. Even with 14 they still looked the most threating. I didn't see Clerc, Medard or Palisson get the ball in threatening positions at all really.
Appalling decision to send the skipper off for that. Wales robbed. Both those kicks near the end shaved the posts I think. Tears in the valley....and rightly so. Frogs didn't deserve to win that tbh
As a neutral i think it improved the game. For the first 5 minutes after i thought france would run away with it... but Wales were so much better that I reckon they would have destroyed them with 15. As it was the game - second half especially - was so intense it was great to watch.
So pissed. I'd be fuming if I was Welsh. France played like shit, didn't deserve it one bit and now the hope of at least a half decent final are over. Gotta feel sorry for the Welsh. Such a young team too, exactly what the future of Welsh rugby needs.
DWTA. France will get smashed. It'll be decent for one team but not decent in terms of a close contest. The Welsh would have put up at least an average fight. France will play shit....no doubt.
