Usually France makes one good game during the world cup. It was today. They just have to keep that inflow against Wales . But I still feel sorry for Ireland which really impressed me before that today's game. A day without.

yes right but Wales impressed me even more than Ireland which is not necessarily a good news.
France is my favourite but I wish good luck to both of them.
there should be a great game on sunday : All Blacks vs Argentina

And I have my fingers crossed hoping you were wrong about NZ too! Nothing against them btw!


Congratulations to France and Wales!

I thought so, the reason I ask, I have a teenage daughter who plays on her high school team and their home field which is close to the school is on artificial surface. Last season in the spring she broke her collar bone making a tackle. I questioned the coach about playing on a hard surface with no equipment for protection. Rugby in schools is considered a club sport that follows the national rules.

Hi people,
well, Argentina is showing a superb opposition to All Blacks
After 20 minutes, only 3-0 for New Zealand...Surprising isn't it ?

A lot of injured players in the Black camp ( Dan Carter...) can explain this under-performance. Australia - NZ will be of high level.

65.000 Welsh Rugby fans watched their Rugby team on the big screen at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff thats just amazing.All of New Zealand really feels sorry for the Welsh team.My favourite player of the game was Leigh Halfpenny (Wales) and he's got a cool surname.It'll be funny if the All Blacks lose again next week im really only interested in the entertainment side of it.

I feel so sorry for Wales.I'm not saying that the very harsh sending off was the end for Wales,but it certainly made things much harder.Wales could not get through the France defence when they realy needed the points and missed some kicks, although they were difficult.France ,the underdogs are now in the final,probably against New Zealand,but you never know in this world cup. confused smiley

The All Blacks are so overated and overhyped

I feel sorry for Wales too. France played on the defensive side. They sticked to one objective : win to reach the final. They just did it and that's the most important thing. In the final, they will have no pressure. They would have been allowed in their country to be defeated by Wales after having beaten England. Unthinkable here.

That was a red card every day of the week. Not an issue. France played classical Northern Hemispehere rugby, which while not overly entertaining, was surely effective.

I agree that Wales were the better side. That should make France easy fodder for the Wallabies next weekend!

We played better against England.
Today again we were clumsy and made big mistakes.
It's fortunate that we won. But it's also Wales' fault not to take advantage of the very average french game.

If Wales had its 15 players, do you think the French game would have been more "counter-offensive" ?

What do you think ?

It would have certainly been a different kind of game.Would it have changed the end.. Noone knows. Funny as it would seem, it's not always a disadvantage to play 14 against 15 in some part of the games.
