How many knocks-on are they going to do? Too many mistakes.

At least they are trying but the execution is just diabolical

What a f**ked pass from Lopez. Utter bollocks.

Very frustrating.

France holding in as much as they can. Ireland play calmly, with control and a better game plan. It feels as if they knew all the French moves, or the French positioning like that kick on Chouly. So far, Barnes is doing a good job, though I thought that last penalty was a bit harsh with 2 French le...

Both went off their feet miles beyond the ball to start with. On their feet subsequently, but that was the pen.

Guirado was the guy contesting the ball and was on his feet the all time.

But it does not matter

Those backs are clueless in attack. This is absolutely terrible.

Weird call.

I’ll be OK if we lose as long as we can keep up with this fantastic Irish for as long as possible and make a decent show out of this. They truly have a superb team, the result of splendid provincial set-up which exclusively favor Irish players and give them regular exposure to the best competition i...

watched it again and I don't agree. It is a 3 against 2. It is basic rugby really. You run straight fix the defender and pass and then you have a 2 against one, regardless of what the last defender was doing. How is Fofana supposed to pass in traffic? He has a Scot between him and Spedding or Huget...

Both LH are not straight.

I suspect the Scot SH fed the ball in the second row. Penalty france

For me, Spedding, who is between Fofana and Huget, should have made the effort to converge on Fofana. The other real issue is that Bastagros doesn't have the pace to follow Fofana. Closest player was Kockott, but he was still a bit late. On a move like this (obviously a set move), you need a flying...

La soule

Huget is right though. Problem is that Fofana has no awareness of where the players are and how to adapt his runs. There is a clear overlap on the right side. Instead, fofana chooses to go on the inside, which is completely the wrong option in my opinion.

La soule

He has played no part in the success of Racing this year.

Goossen is a better option for them. Dambielle is not but at least he is there.

La soule

The initial issue is Fofana, le coffre a ballon. He is isolated (and often is) and then everybody panic.

I agree with you on the rest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4quk3rYBOZo I presume the fact that it should have been disallowed has been done to death? I think that's the main difference between the Aussie crowd, gracious in defeat, and kids like you. :lol: You don't have to moan about anything to discuss the illegality of a t...

France, conversely, looked less than the sum of their glittering parts. Highlighting the underachievement of the French side has become almost as clichéd as describing Italian tactics but Phillips believes that issues off the pitch are costing France dearly: “As someone who has played there for a l...

There is a reason why these guys don't make it to the first XV in their clubs. I am tired to hear that this is because they are warming the bench behind foreign imports. As far as I am concerned, in as challenging an environment, players like Chiocci, Menini, Domingo, Mas, Slimani, Kayser, Guirado,...

Le XV de départ des Bleus contre l'Irlande: Spedding - Huget, Bastareaud, Fofana, Thomas - (o) Lopez, (m) Kockott - Le Roux, Chouly, Dusautoir (cap) - Papé, Maestri - Slimani, Guirado, Ben Arous.

Les remplaçants: Kayser, Atonio, Debaty, Taofifenua, Goujon, Parra, Tales, Lamerat.

France by 25.

We have shown nothing, and for a long time now..., to say that we have a decent chance of wining that game.

But Allez les bleus

I mentioned on anotehr thread, i thought France played well on Saturday, showed great discipline in defence which allowed very few penalty opportunities for us in your half. The one thing i would say is i think that is the least threatening back 3 i have ever seen from France, I wasnt remotely worr...

Some real pricks with no sense of humour in there. Some funny answers too.

Well, that was not great. But we won. I do not get the game plan. But even if there is one, it should involved the backs running straight lines. fixing the defenders and passing. Those SH we select are slow. They keep on denying any speed to the backline. Incredible. What a waste. We were not good e...

As England have never experienced this, could Welsh, Irish, Scots, French supporters let us know how it felt to see you team beaten? Of course, it has to happen one day, so I for one, need to know how to prepare psychologically for this inevitability. Shrug. How very French http://stream1.gifsoup.c...

Bon quand est ce qu'ils vont porter ce maillot? Contre l'Italie? l'Écosse déjà C'est un maillot extérieur, l'Ecosse c'est à domicile, non? On est au rugby c'est à la maison qu'on change ...

Well done Sharks.

geez does Toulon have any french players? With the French team. Bit of a shit game really. T'was supposed to be all for entertainment but the Safas can't do that obviously. Saffas against saffas is always a slugfest The silence is deafening Hey, this is Toulon third team. I am not going to argue.

Probably best to support the ones that are trying to make this an entertaining game

Toulon need to take their PK like Sharks are doing.

I find it pretty ugly. Red is the color of the winners though, look at Wales.

Maybe this will compensate for a shitty selection and absence of game plan.

No surprise with the selection.

Let's hope that we will be surprised by the game plan.

Fly-halves: Lopez is head and shoulders above the others as a distributor. He is my first choice, though he needs to improve his kicking off hand, and from the tee. Behind him, Plisson still shows frailties but has good potential. Trinh-Duc, if he comes back to the top could be a good choice becaus...
