France scrum Free Kick… taken quickly…
Another USA penalty, deep in their own half…
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…
2nd Half ON!
France penalty on the USA 22, not taken at goal… they set up the lineout and then they maul.
USA steals the loose ball and gets out of trouble well with a good touchfinder under pressure.
France almost with a try, the last pass to Raka deemed to be way forward.
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.
France certainly not looking like a Rugby World Cup title contender….
If you compare how England dismantled the USA, compared to what France is doing, it is chalk and cheese.
USA penalty, on the French 22… looks like an easy one if they want the points.
Posts it is…
France 12 / 9 USA
Only 3 points now suddenly seperate the sides…
The referee just missed a forward pop-pass by France..
France try, Gael Fickou!

Hahahaha… yeah!
For a change I support them as well…
Try Baptiste Serin, France!
There it is, the bonus point.
There was also a high tackle on Raka….
France 26 / 9 USA
9 Minutes to go in the match
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.

Yes… but I expected much more from France!
France penalty on the USA 10m line.
Man Of The Match is awarded to Camille Lopez of France.
Try France, Jefferson Poirot!
