What a finish!
That was incredible by France
What a finish!!!!!!!!
These commentators are so salty
My heart is absolutely racing. That was crazy.
Holy shit! Heartbreaking for Wales, they were brilliant today. A bit like Ireland today, maybe a sign that the coaching staff can come good.
It's absolutely crazy when these guys are playing at the end with the knowledge that any mistake & it's game over and they are just so perfect
Very impressive in the first half, clung on in the second and not always within the rules.
Wales threw it away. Man up and 10 points ahead then just collapsed.
To be fair, that was the best game of the tournament. Just glad that England wasn't involved (and lost at the last minute.)
Insane game of rugby
Rucking Brilliant.
Insane game of rugby
I was 100% ready to post how sickened I was with how the last fifteen mins went
How many times did the Welsh defence hold them up on the line .
This is what's gonna bug me about that game. Brilliant game but with a man advantage after a ridiculous eye gouge, we just lost all discipline and let the grand slam slip away. Bloody painful.
I'd probably agree with that, but they were heading to cards themselves regardless and they should probably have come sooner. The better team won.
Poor discipline is always costly.
Damn it!
Damn it!
It really is.
It would be funny if France lose to Scotland now.
I feel that it was a draw, Wales were very good during the first 30 minutes after the ref let them foul in rucks for some reason but France still didn't manage the game well enough.
I feel like it'll take time for me to digest what happened in that last twenty minutes
Great win for a young French side. Very promising for their future to have the nerve to see that through.

What a team you'll be if you can get better at game management though. Exciting times.
Watching the replays now, Dulin was very deserving of that final try. He had a great match.
Fickou delaying the pass was superb too.

Literally speechless after that.
They're forensically examining the last Wales try on the TV here, zooming in on the ball. It absolutely looks held up.
It all comes down to the decision made on the field. Then they weigh up the evidence to overturn that decision.
I think they should just leave any score to the TMO.
It would be funny if France lose to Scotland now.
It'd 100% be in keeping with the way this 6N has gone.
congratulations
amazing game.
No idea how some people (not you) think the red wasn't a red and still think it was a penalty try in the first half (as does Martin Johnson) but plenty arguable decisions and it's 32-30. End of.
At the start of this I thought we'd be fifth. Hurts now but we've played well overall including tonight.
cheers
I think Pearcsie asked Barnesie the wrong question. He shouldn't have said onfield decision try, there's no way he had a view to be able to call that.
Everyone thinks the red was a red.
The last two games have made me think about the fact that there is a case to only use Vincent or Ntamack at 12 because they are better at reading the game than Jalibert, Ntamack would be the preferred option since that''s his main role for Toulouse. I like Jalibert but he is more of a game breaker than a game manager.
I was annoyed by the red card because I felt that the ref was allowing Wales to get away with a lot, the actual offence in itself was obviously the right decision . I hated how the commentators were behaving , almost begging for a red card .
I am also not sure about the ref - Tmo relationship in general in rugby . Some refs try to stay in control while at times today it felt like Barnes was having a lot of say which is something that would be really looked down upon in football

Yeah I've no idea what he was thinking there.
Interesting what O'Gara said about the red. According to him in domestic competition in France, it's often not even a penalty for that type of thing.

That sounds suspect to me. Eyegouging is surely a red card in any league nowadays.
He's coaching in France so he'd know. He was saying the application of the laws in relation to it is wildly inconsistent and the home team might get away with it but the away team wouldn't etc.
I know he is, but the law is the law surely. If there's a problem with the application of it to allow eyegougers to get away with it, that's a big issue for French domestic rugby.
I'm a little wary of someone who's coaching and has skin in the game making a comment like that. Something makes me be cautious of it.

He isn't wrong and if you go below Top 14 then it gets rougher. But I still think that it's a red card because there is a need for standards and accountability for players, even if i don't think that Willemse tried to target the eyes I'm pretty sure that he let his hand slip on purpose and grabbed something. That's also a South African thing, on that topic the most savage games you can see are South Africa-France when both teams are up to it.
Nah it was obviously a red card. He'd already cleared out the ruck so it was completely unnecessary.
