France are overhyped. Yes they beat the All Blacks on home soil last year but they wouldn’t beat them in New Zealand or the Boks for that matter.

The WRU should hang their heads in shame and learn from the sensible pricing structure the FAW have had in place for a number of years.
They have also starved the regions of proper funding. All four regions are pretty hopeless these days. The days of tickets being rarely available for Six Nations home games are long gone. The complacency of the WRU combined with their stupidity knows no bounds.
As someone who has struggled to get to a Glamorgan T20 game on a Friday night with 5000 in attendance what on earth are the WRU doing playing a match on such an evening. I dread to think how bad the traffic issues were both pre and post match.
A friend gave me a couple of free tickets for myself and my daughter. It took us just under four hours to get from Reading to my usual parking spot in Canton. An hour 45 back! The tickets were in the upper tier at £100 a pop. As you say massively overpriced.

Enjoyed the event. We seemed to be in a part of the ground where there were more French fans than most. They were mostly young and it provided a lively atmosphere. Don't know whether it was this but there was far less too and fro for beer than the previous game I attended against Italy about four years ago. Still there were a number of fans around us who seemed perfectly sensible pre match who were talking absolute drivel by its end from the beers they consumed.

Might be biased and a consequence of the empty seats but the anthem was not a patch on how it has been at recent games at the Cardiff City Stadium. Delayed a bit on the walkway along the Taff at the end as a poor guy was being given CPR. It looked a futile cause but hopefully they brought him back.
