Kemp almost got the 6 to tie off the last ball.
To come back from 20/4 to almost tie or win took some doing

cobras het daai game weggegooi met stiaan se run out
@ The_Young_Turk:What are the magic words?
What a crap rugby match, but if the garlic munchers win they will hail it as a classic and sell it as French flair at it’s best
@ Just For Kicks:
Crikey, I am impressed…. Bullscot at the Womens 6 Nations Game and a live feed.
Way To Go – As the Yanks say!!
Commentators scathing about this match. All down to basic errors and boring rugby
I did not see the Women’s game, was it any better than this one? 😉
@ Just For Kicks:
Have to agree with the commentators.
@ Blue Bird:
Ciao bella, well it definitely couldn’t have been worse than this rubbish.
@ The_Young_Turk: @Blue Bird, from Bully,s commentary, it sounds like a good game
2nd Half ON!
Good scrum from France
This time a strong France scrum, penalty to them
@ The_Young_Turk:
I know it is very easy to knock women’s rugby but now girls are getting involved you will see the techniques and match play improve rapidly now!!
Women’s cricket is noticeably improving, girls across the country are really enjoying proper competitions and some useful girls play in the men’s side.
Even our village who sends out 4 men’s sides each Saturday, will proudly also have a Women’s Team this season!
Poor, poor defence
Try Picamoles!
Was that a double movement?
TMO
Try awarded
French power game is going to win this one
France 16 / 3 Italy
@ Just For Kicks:
If we can get over our preconceptions and just appreciate that women’s and men’s rugby will be different!!
@ Blue Bird:
Happy to hear it. I’m all for encouraging women’s sport.
I would much rather Italy win this….. ;-(
Rats…another French try
Try Wesley Fofana.
All going pear for Italy!
Italy gone to pot, structures gone, tackling up the pole and kicking awful
Epic encounter of lack of strength vs lack of strength
Poor Defence by Italy
And suddenly the Frogs are destroying the azzurri.
France 23 / 3 Italy
