France scrum Free Kick… taken quickly…

Another USA penalty, deep in their own half…
33

France penalty, USA off their feet, well inside the French half.

Halftime

I expected much more from France, but the USA has played reasonably well, even if in fits and parts…
36

2nd Half ON!
37

grootblousmile on 2 October 2019 at 10:49 am

France penalty on the USA 22, not taken at goal… they set up the lineout and then they maul.
38

grootblousmile on 2 October 2019 at 10:50 am

USA steals the loose ball and gets out of trouble well with a good touchfinder under pressure.
39

grootblousmile on 2 October 2019 at 10:57 am

France almost with a try, the last pass to Raka deemed to be way forward.
40

grootblousmile on 2 October 2019 at 11:08 am

USA still keeping France scoreless in the 2nd half….

21 Minutes to go for France to score 2 tries, if they want the bonus point.
41

grootblousmile on 2 October 2019 at 11:09 am

France certainly not looking like a Rugby World Cup title contender….
42

grootblousmile on 2 October 2019 at 11:11 am

If you compare how England dismantled the USA, compared to what France is doing, it is chalk and cheese.
43

grootblousmile on 2 October 2019 at 11:11 am

USA penalty, on the French 22… looks like an easy one if they want the points.
44

grootblousmile on 2 October 2019 at 11:12 am

Posts it is…
45

grootblousmile on 2 October 2019 at 11:13 am

France 12 / 9 USA

Only 3 points now suddenly seperate the sides…
46

grootblousmile on 2 October 2019 at 11:15 am

The referee just missed a forward pop-pass by France..
47

grootblousmile on 2 October 2019 at 11:16 am

France try, Gael Fickou!

9 Minutes to go in the match

grootblousmile on 2 October 2019 at 11:22 am

USA have shot their bolt… only 1 try so far in this Rugby World Cup, right at the end against England.

@ grootblousmile:
I was thinking,
surely The Professionals from The European Pro14, would have superior fitness, and it must surely show soon.
And it has.

5 Minutes to go, the result is in the bag for France.
