Well, must say, I am looking forward to this match… will be nice to see where the Northern Hemisphere is now, compared to the absolute quality that the All Blacks and Wallabies are dishing out now and even compared to what we are seeing now in Super Rugby Unlocked 2020 here in SA.
Of course, our South African rugby is effectively months behind that of the New Zealand, Australian and even the European teams…
Damn, SA rugby came out sooooooo late from the Covid lockdown shit…
The France / Wales match is late to start, it seems… unless they are underway and the TV feed has not opened up here in SA yet…
Ah, there is the TV feed… no team out on the park yet…
Looks like an empty stadium… freegin hell, it just does not seem right for a Test.
Yeah, no crowd at all… damn!
So, who do you sing your Anthems to… nobody… eish!!!
Surreal to see Test rugby without spectators… grrrrr
Welsh Anthem…
French Anthem…
Game ON!
Kick-Off by Wales!
Wales 5m lineout…
Try Leigh Halfpenny, Wales!
France 0 / 7 Wales
Wales penalty, 6m inside their own half…
Another Wales penalty, easy shot of they want it…. they do!
France 0 / 10 Wales
Dan Biggar pulls up lame… no contact, just pulled up lame….
France passes out to touch…
French looking terrible… rusty…. lazy…
Try France… looked like a prop… yes.
France 7 / 10 Wales
Wales penalty, French No 8 so culpably offside and interfering with play, actually deserved a Card there, if you ask me….
Another Wales penalty…
France 7 / 13 Wales
Halfpenny earns Wales another penalty, over the ball…. deeep in the Welsh half…
George North with a badddd knock from a high ball…
Seems European Rugby is also still months behind the New Zealand and Aussie rugby….
Baulk by the Welsh hooker at the lineout… French Free Kick…
Obstruction by the French… Welsh penalty, well insid ethe Welsh 22.
Little French knock at the ruck…
Not a tidy game by either side, so far….
Handling reminds one of a wet game… only problem is, this game is not a rainy, wet game…
French scrum Free Kick… they opt to scrum.
