The skills of this NZ team. Superb.

[William Treseder]

If they get past Ireland.

It’s now a big if 😁

[sneggyblubird]

If they get past Ireland.

Pardon?

[William Treseder]

Pardon?

England v NZ should be tasty!

[jon1959]

Japan would be a great addition to the four nation Southern Hemisphere tournament and, on this evidence, would be very competitive in it as well. Maybe there was an element of Scotland making them look good in that first half, but it looked like step up from what they did against Ireland and I wouldn't rule out a Japan v Wales semi final.

Japan is in the northern hemisphere and much closer to the 6 Nations countries than to South Africa or Argentina.

Maybe the 8 Nations is on the way (with Japan and Georgia joining).

If they get past Ireland.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[The Bloop]

Come on Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[Pearcey3]

The French pack are up for this. JD is a big loss.

[William Treseder]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Just a bit of respect for Ireland. They did beat them last time they played.👍

[Pearcey3]

Disastrous

[Pearcey3]

Thank **** for that

[Shute]

They needed that bit of fortune. They might have started to panic.

[Pearcey3]

Moriarty is an idiot. We are in trouble.

[Shute]

The fans that Wales were attacking towards will not have seen much action in that half. The French have been hugely impressive.

How can they change what is happening? They can't cope with France's direct creativity.

We are lucky to only be 9 points down.
Back to 15 players and our fitness will give us a chance. Time to prove why we are Grand slam champions.

[Shute]

They need to make that count. A real gift.

[The Bloop]

That red could give us the impetus we need.

[Pearcey3]

What a ****ing dirty scumbag. We have a chance now but our backrow are really struggling.

[MacAdder]

Not played well at all.
Time to start panicking.

[Shute]

Looks like it's getting away from Wales now. France have matched them second half, even with the red card.

[Kind of Blue]

We’re going out of this with a whimper. Despite the red France deserve it too.

[Shute]

Pressure's on Norwich now.

[Shute]

They did it. Somehow they managed to get over the line and hold on. Unlucky France. They will be kicking themselves.

A big improvement needed against Japan/SA.

[Kind of Blue]

Pressure's on Norwich now.

NQAT. Fairplay we got out of jail there.

[Pearcey3]

We were very lucky but it’s revenge for eight years ago when the best team lost by a single point having had Warburton sent off.
