I've just read the ref was born in Pontypool in Wales.
Cool, we, french, will have an easy excuse and I will be able to practice my favorite vocalubary about the ref while in front of my TV

I dont know if you can really conclude anything about each League quality based on H Cup results eventhough it's fun to do. I dont watch URC or GP so I won't share any guess. T14 used to produce a slow game with high physicallity and was probably the worst of the 3. This has changed lately, the game...

Does anyone have a link working in France?
Thanks!

Anyone talking about 21+ point difference or offensive bonus point for France should remember our last encounters. France lost last year and struggled in the autumn.

I'm expected a close game and possibly with not lot of tries.

Oh fudge
Parra out for the end of the season

Good game so far

I'm too depressed with the last 10 years to think a bright future is ahead... Cotter should have been appointed after 2011. Being a Clermont fan, I thought for years that missing the last hurdle while playing regularly well was the hardest thing to live (as a supporter I mean)...the national team pr...

The problem with computers is any idiot can buy one and become a wannabe journo The post s pants basically The majority of kiwis aren't stuck in circa 35 odd years ago France rock and you man up for the haka, so your cool That's cool! I'd really like to go down under, on the other side of the world...

Ah, ok!
I took it as "1st level"
I could have think twice though

http://www.betootaadvocate.com/world-news/kiwis-and-france-still-got-beef/ As rugby season kicks off, it has become clear that New Zealand and France still hate each other, not just in sport, but also on both a cultural and political level. Local South Betoota scaffolder, Benji Wellington says he’s...

Just wanted to reflect on one thing that stay unnoticed I think: I really like the way the French public respect the Haka.
I don't like much when the full stadium try to cover it by noise.

well done Scotland
much more composed performance than France

very frustrated by Jackson ref of the scrum but not as much as French players errors

for the sake of ref consistency, it should be a pen against France

ref has an issue with this french team?
First penalty against Poirot ??? Not releasing the player...ok but the scot was already on the ground, diving on the ball because of low pass, Poirot arrive first...Not releasing my ass!!

EDIT : penalty for France as I wrote

Cover for the back three is Bonneval and maybe Doussain to cover FH with Plisson moving to 12. Plisson at 12...hum :? :? As a FH, he has to defend against both opposite back rows and 12 but at least his own back row should not be too far. Couldn't he be even more exposed at 12 ? In a typical French...

I'm wondering who will cover the center position in case of injury.
- None of the wings for Sure.
- Medard or Bonneval from FB ?
- Doussain ?

Sounds like a gamble to me

I think England are the only 6N side never to have suffered the humiliation of a defeat to Italy. Correct. I don't think they've even managed a draw against us. That record will probably end one day, but I can't see it happening this time around Italy should have won when they played England in 199...

On the 1st try, when the ball is in contact with the italian 9 and the 9 is in touch, isn t the ball in touch ?

done!
