"That pass looked forward to me."
Hard to see the first time around. So in an amateurs game. I wouldn't blame the referee for giving it as you only have 1 chance and a 1 second look at it and you normally give the attacker from the benefit of the doubt. Now you have many looks at it from many angles. Fans and commentators say no try after looking. So why has the referee given it  |

Because the TMO didn't say he shouldn't.
I do think the TMO is sometimes used unnecessarily when, a few seasons ago, it would've been the benefit of the doubt. |

I meant if the camera shows clearly what happened and we can all see it on screen. Why has the match gone against what is obvious. |

Well, one of the commentators is the most one-eyed that I've ever heard - & that's going some!! It looked marginal so I'm glad they gave it - it was a good try!! |

"Is it really worth playing knowing that France will be back with a vengeance and kick everyone's asses?"
the problem france has is the same one english football has....
1) they are french (tempremental and inconsistant!)
2) because there league is the big money league in europe, most of the big clubs now buy in foreign talent (welsh, irish, aussie, kiwi and saffers) which means the home talent doesn't get the chance to get better and improve..... |

To be fair, I was only playing the cocky French part...
I agree on the fact that they are inconsistant and that French league is the best (of course  ). Though, we still have a great pool of young players who have the chance to develop their talent in club: except Toulon or Toulouse which are, indeed, mostly using foreign players, most of the teams are using French players.
And I refuse the comparison with the English football team: English football players are only shite, no needto find any other excuse (only joking.... or am I? ) |

"Time to witness the new era of English rugby let's have it England and stuff the frogs
Swing low sweet charriot "
I really don't think it's necessary to call them anything but French really. All the people on this thread are obviously passionate about their Rygbi and it's been lighthearted so far.
No need for name calling!! |

There's a distinct lack of available guys today, all watching the rugby in a pub somewhere, wish i'd thought about it earlier, I would have gone to the pub and joined them. |

If Steve Walsh is the Irish/French ref who had the Wales V France RWC semi, then I agree - he's atrocious!
I confuse him with Steve (look at me, I'm the star of the show) Williams (I think? ), but as for Bevan; a whistle-happy Nazi!!

the french/irish ref would be alain rolland.... I quite like him....
if it is one thing a southern hemisphere ref knows, its where the TV camera is!!!  Dickinson, Kaplan, Walsh, Lawrence...
give me a good northern hemisphere ref who know how to ref the scrums!!!! |

Fabio - sorry, i mixed up Williams with Walsh. Yes I agree, he's an annoying poser, but you prefer a Northern Hem ref for the scrums? What about not being whistle-happy & letting the game flow/entertain???
Typical nth hem attitude - sacrilege - tut tut!! |

Come on France. You're making the game harder for yourselves. One try and a conversion is all you need and 20 minutes to do it. Plenty of time. Don't blow it now. |

England alive and very well mike brown had a great game care improved on poor 1st half performance robshaw and Cole leading the youngsters just don't hand points to French now keep it tight and we've won |

Indeed!
To be honest, it was a nice game and both team would have deserved the victory, from an objective point of view |

Didn't realise I brien was out yes that is a big loss. Think since Scott Johnson has taken over I'm hoping they will play with a bit more freedom |

They do seem to like the sound if their own voice don't they plus I think they struggle at scrum time? |
