Well Wales used their get out of jail free card there!! Vahamahina has got form though, he's been pinged quite a few times (indeed iirc he's been carded numerous times too). France made sure that it was an interesting game 
On the basis of Wales' last few matches I don't hold out much hope

French Rugby Federation vice-president Simon, a former France prop, said on Twitter: "This photo if it is true is shocking and explanations will be necessary."
Explanation - "Your cheating
lost you a game and the rest of the world is pissing themselves"Have to be honest I'm a big fan of Lawes, seems to bring a real edge to the game.
As an aside has anyone been awarded more caps out of position than Daly? Again I do like him but I'm, still, not convinced that he should be our 1st choice 15 - put him at 14 (swap with Watson) or even centre (which is his 'natural' place) instead of Slade

Yeah - he's shown some weakness in defence (I thought he was fast but got stood up and skinned too easily by Koroibete), but he's great in attack and has good hands and attacking awareness, and a big boot for conversions, so far unused this world cup.
Nobody's mentioned it, but its good to see Mark Wilson on the bench covering No8. He is a real talent.
thing is that Daly has got some wheels (as the Welsh know all too well Nobody's mentioned it, but its good to see Mark Wilson on the bench covering No8. He is a real talent.
) - Koroibete must have jet heels to skin him so (seemingly) easily!Oh and Mark Wilson is quality

I imagine there'll be at least 2 hours of utterly tedious impenetrable punditry and build up before the Kiwis thump us by a record margin.
I'm still sulking because I'm flying to the Med at the exact time the game is in play.
I feel your pain. Someone who shall remain nameless but rhymes with Mrs I-oc booked me a pilates class at 9am tomorrow morning "oh, I thought that the class was a little empty!" <grrr> Oh well, at least I can record it I'm still sulking because I'm flying to the Med at the exact time the game is in play.

Why would you want to record a pilates class when the rugby's on?bloody hell, what a match! England were, to a man, immense. Lawes was an absolute monster whilst he was on, the kamikaze twins were amazing - again (I'm curious to see if TC's twin makes it to England). In fact it's hard to see any average, let alone poor, England performances.
There are areas to tighten-up on, couple of errors cost us points but over-all it puts us in a good place for next week.
I feel dirty for saying this next bit but (for first time ever I think!) - COME ON WALES!!!!

Anywhere to get a full match replay? Can only see highlights later on.
If you can spoof the geo location e.g. via VPN, Rai Due in Italy - https://www.raiplay.it/raiplay/video/2019/10/rugby... .But you'll have to subscribe to Rai (free)
A little cruel but still made me chuckle...

Probably on ITV Hub but it is an absolute cack handed bit of App, I don't bother with it.Gargamel said:
Interesting that TMO is the same guy who ruled out the Sinckler ‘try’ in last Autumn’s match against the ABs
Now I am all for a fair game. The crossing was obvious and for sure a good call. But the fwd pass in the ruck is a bullst call.
Overa it wasn’t terrible from the officials and god knows it’s a hard job in rugby, but I thought the fwd passes were let go in open play, so why not the ruck?

Which one, that’s three that guy has disallowed. Over two matchesAnywho - it was still a cracking match
I have to say that that semi was one of the dullest matches I've seen in a while (TBF it didn't help that yesterday's match was so action filled). As has been mentioned on here a kicking game where the kicking was st, Faf was picking up on lack of kicking control, Pollard wasn't a huge amount better nor was Biggar. I think I'm right in saying the first opportunity for a try came on, roughly, the hour mark - WTaF??? I'd have to say that neither side deserved to win.
