[2022 Six Nations] Wales vs France (11/03/22)

[pagliaccio_euforico]

France needs to stop panicking. There success comes from sticking to their plan. Moments of flash 40m out create risky situations 20m out. Do the creative passes in try scoring areas instead of midfield. Wales has only really looked promising when France has screwed up.

Is it just me or has the French wingers positioning been shite? Selling out Jaminet big time.

 

[Reiser99]

Wales have definitely put France under some pressure and taken their opportunities, but France should still win if they calm down and stick to their plan.

The old saying 'red and green must not be seen' appears to have evaded the Welsh kit makers. Its not a good look. However, Allez les Pays de Galles!

Sit down Liam! Knocked him back to the changing rooms

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Looked like one of the Welsh players threw a punch in that ruck there?

EDIT, nope

 

[Reiser99]

Probably jinx it now, but Wales don't look like scoring unless it's from a turnover or French mistake. When they are in control they look pretty toothless.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Gatland's selection looked bad at the time and absolutely terrible in hindsight but to be fair, Adam Beard has managed to stay consistent as the worst call through it all.

 

[Reiser99]

Think that's fair considering I don't think the lineout was remotely straight.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Optimistic trying a maul against a superior pack. I quite like that they tried it though for variety. Desperately need to get the scoreboard ticking to get French knees knocking.

James Ryan and Johnny Gray like this post.

Based on France's difficulties in the kicking battle there is a definite argument to start Ford next week.

Nice of Jiffy to be optimistic about backs play after a scrum.

Christ the Welsh backs are desperately bad. Mad to think this is the coach of the most thrilling team to ever play (© @Bruce_ma gooshvili)

Biggar giving everything for Wales tonight just feel the forwards are fighting a massive battle. Hope they can last the 80.

Also shows how poor England were at times against Wales because they waltzed through us at times.

It does seem Wales are missing a leader of the pack like AWJ. There isn't much chat going on during breaks in play, or rallying of the troops. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.

The Welsh players take inspiration from Biggar flapping his arms.

But Falutau is a best amongst men according to the commentary.

Aldritt definitely stuck a tenner on Wales pre-game

I know they say he had the sniffles during the week but he's been real dumb
