GO FRANCE! Really don’t know how this one will go but hope am not backing wrong team. Going to be intriguing to see how North gets on at centre alongside Roberts, massive centre pairing, will he make Wales backline more dangerous by being there with even more space to work with or will he be less effective getting the ball before he works up a head of steam. Big B must run straight at him early on to test his defence in that channel.
Goooooooooo France!
Go Wales
Smash these white flag waving garlic eating palookas back to Paris.
Show them that poxing a win every now and again and getting a lucky try isn’t flair, but fortune.
10 Minutes till kick-off
Go Wales, unless France bring their a game
Skree steeds vir die blou span, Frankryk !
This is a huge game for Wales. They must win this one.
Looks like Wales want to dance their way to victory. Looks like a nightclub
Franc already on the field and Wales coming out.
Anthems
Looking forward to hearing ‘Land of Fathers’ again!
But out on the pitch I fear, that is about as much as Wales will win tonight, the singing contest, it will take more than a song to beat the Frogs.
Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp
French Anthem first up
Wow, how stunning was the stadium with the lights off and just the laser lights
Now the Welsh singing voices…
@ Just For Kicks:
Lol! All those red lights, French might have thought they were back on the Moulin Rouge.
