Wales defensive 5m scrum…
But France is starting to push now, realizing they are far behind!
France scrum penalty, 5m out… wow!
Wayne Barnes, the referee, is a bit of a pisspot though…
Thought Wales disrupted France maul incorrectly and got away with it. Commentator Brian Moore points out Lydiate 💡 was offside but ref didn’t
Medard almost over… just out… but they go back for another France penalty
France 5m scrum, as they were over the line but held up.
Gosh Barnes is quick on the whistle not allowing France much time as they were trying so close to Wales line
Lots of penalties given away by Wales deep in their territory but they will happily keep doing that as ref is not carding them
France over the line again… held up again… another 5m French scrum!
Faletau adjudged 10m offside…. all the way back deeep and near the Wales tryline…
France keep opting for scrums

Think that scrum was awarded in the wrong place could have been closer to Wales line. Ref is having a shocker now I think. TMO has spotted something
71 @ Bullscot:
Yip, Barnes is a shocker…
Shaun Veldsman being overruled by Barnes on a clear tackle by Wales think it was Cuthbert on French player that was above his shoulders and I think dangerous
No justice with Wales now deep in France territory and they get a penalty
Wales penalty… in on the side.
Dancing Dan does his usual Macarena….
Wales 19 / 3 France
Nothing working for France
Arghhh, Faletau knocks when there was a clear overlap… it is criminal!
Biggar off, Priestland on!
Biggar limping off
@ grootblousmile:
#79 was a poor pass behind him by prop Jenkins I thought
France penalty on halfway… hands in the ruck
Williams has been simply brilliant this game. His high ball takes, for the most part, awesome, and that pick up off the floor sublime. He is really turning into a high class fullback
Gethin Jenkins steals one… Wales penalty.
France playing poorly
Evening men
I must say, that even though these games are a real tight, forward driven affair I find them rather boring compared to the Super Rugby comp
France get a relieving penalty on their own 5m line… nicely over the ball there.
Well spotted Barnes Wales holding on the ground so France relieving penalty
