France v Australia

[Pedrolicus]

I hope this goes the 2010 route

 

[Marcelo]

I'm concerned for the scrum after the starters come off

Well, you just throw away my faith. Alexander and Robinson always have problems

 

[BarneySF]

Super early subs. Pre whistle!

 

[Pedrolicus]

the big basteraud comes on too

 

[Mr Doug]

Why were the commentators talking about Kurtley bloody Beale?! I assume the ARU has invoked the "Twelve Strikes And You're Out" clause, to allow him to re-join the squad?

 

[disco]

poor start to the 2nd half, again going sideways

 

[Bardon]

Thats strange, what happened to the French scrum over 2 years ago, i seem to remember they were a small but very efficient scrummaging front row?

Yeah they were excellent a few years ago and their scrum was a real weapon. There's still plenty of good French scrummagers knocking around the top 14 but PSA doesn't seem to fancy any of them.

New laws

 

[Hugh Jarse]

He's a big Bastereaud isn't he?

Poor coaching in general. Domingo and Mas declining slightly. Lack of a quality 2 since Servat retired. Numerous factors but generally poor coaching will be the root.

 

[Bardon]

God help Bastereau if he gets drunk and beats himself up again, at that weight he may not survive this time.

 

[BabyBlueElephant]

They've literally cloned Bastareaud and stuck him in at TH.

 

[Dctarget]

The 155kg baby elephant doesn't have enough energy for a forty, by the 70th minute he will be shite in the scrums.

 

[disco]

Hope we make some subs soon, Lilo off for Horne now that Basteraud is on.

 

[Marcelo]

The French fielded their heavyweights

 

[Pedrolicus]

Big fan of hooper, but someone please shave his head or at least find some tape that lasts longer than 2min.

 

[BabyBlueElephant]

God help Bastereau if he gets drunk and beats himself up again, at that weight he may not survive this time.

God help the floor if he staggers and falls on it.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Horne on for Lilo.

 

[Bardon]

I know the French team's fitness is poor but it's a bit early to be emptying the bench even for them.

 

[disco]

Hard to watch, going side ways, Hooper missing tackles bring on the subs
