Wales definately enjoying territorial advantage the whole time…
32

Bullscot on 26 February 2016 at 10:33 pm

For all the territory and possession Wales should be further ahead. France defending quite well but it must be making them tired
33

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 10:34 pm

France just cannot seem to get out of their deep half…
34

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 10:35 pm

Wales penalty, holding on by Plisson!
35

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 10:36 pm

Wales 6 / 0 France
36

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 10:38 pm

France suddenly alive… now 8m out…
37

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 10:39 pm

Wales relieving penalty… after France came within 3m from their line
38

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 10:41 pm

France penalty… no arms in the tackle, Lydiate!
39

@ grootblousmile:
#31 Snap! Regarding territory in my post just below yours, taking me a while to type on my phone can you read my posts as I am typing before I post

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 10:41 pm

Wales 6 / 3 France
41

Bullscot on 26 February 2016 at 10:42 pm

Gosh Biggar runs and passes

Hahaha, no I can’t read them before you have submitted them…
43

Bullscot on 26 February 2016 at 10:46 pm

@ grootblousmile:
#40 French penalty given after no arms tackle by Lydiate something he does a lot
44

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 10:46 pm

Almost, almost a Wales try… the Wales scrummie, Gareth Davies, had a brilliant run!
45

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 10:47 pm

43 @ Bullscot:
Yeah, I have noticed he likes doing that!
46

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 10:48 pm

Wales scrum penalty on France 5m line… they opt to scrum again!
47

Bullscot on 26 February 2016 at 10:48 pm

Penalty Wales from the 5m scrum and they scrum again hoping for more of the same then maybe penalty try?
48

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 10:49 pm

Ideal opportunity here for Wales, to drive scrum dominance home…
49

Bullscot on 26 February 2016 at 10:50 pm

Nope not another scrum penalty and France get a relieving penalty
50

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 10:51 pm

France relieving penalty… and it will be halftime when they kick out

Lemoenetyd it is!
51

Bullscot on 26 February 2016 at 10:54 pm

54/4, 60/12 Wales have made 6 tackles less than France which seems surprising as it seems France have been doing way more defending although they have missed 12 and made 60
52

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 11:06 pm

2nd Half ON!
53

Bullscot on 26 February 2016 at 11:07 pm

Nasty high tackle it seemed on Camara who ends up losing the ball forward
54

Bullscot on 26 February 2016 at 11:09 pm

Nastu tip tackle on Cuthbert lucky no yellow for Danty. Penalty Wales
55

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 11:09 pm

Wales penalty for a tip-tackle, dead easy at posts
56

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 11:10 pm

Wales 9 / 3 France
57

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 11:13 pm

Try George North, Wales!
58

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 11:14 pm

Wales 16 / 3 France
59

Bullscot on 26 February 2016 at 11:14 pm

Lucky try in the end for North but he made a lot of ground to get up there in the first place. Wales running ahead now
60

grootblousmile on 26 February 2016 at 11:18 pm

France penalty… this one kickable, but they kick for the corner
