[2021 Six Nations] France vs Wales (20/03/2021)

Scotland also having that negates it surely?
Playing Italy and putting in 8 tries without much of a sweat might not be as taxing as playing Wales to the finish line, I am sure you'll agree with me.
Quite extraordinay games today, Scotland putting 50 points to Italy, England drowning in Dublin and France scoring the winning try at the last second. This is what 6N is about!
 
Anyone else having some serious dissonance about being happy that France won a match?
 
Am surprised the game wasn't abandoned. If it was any other team there wouldn't have been enough players left on the field to compete during those last 12 minutes where Wales just couldn't cope with the French attack and resorted to 'English' tactics. Even employing their own tactics of slowing down scrums and sealing off rucks. Not good to watch. And all that time wasting could have cost them them not only the tournament but also the grand slam. If they had stuck to their normal game they might have seen it through.
Wales have ridden their luck this tournament and have had the rub of the green with all the referees in three of their last 4 games plus tonight's. Their third 'try' hasn't been grounded yet. The whole world plus the video ref could see that but he couldn't make the decision it wasn't a try as the ref had already said it was. The question to 'Barnsey' (sound like good mates dont they) was "On-field its a try...is there any reason to say the ball wasn't grounded"? The answer was 'no reason to suggest the ball wasn't grounded". Well apart from the obvious fact that it wasn't grounded what the heck was he looking at! It was either grounded or not. Why not say 'the ball was grounded...mate'.
Its sad to say but the refs have ruined this tournament.
 
Hi guys, would someone like to help me out here. As a Dutchy I havent watched a lot of rugby in my life so there are still some things I don't fully understand. Can someone explain the last two yellow cards for Wales and the last penalty for France for me? Much appreciated!
Great game by the way

Wonder if this interviewer (not sure who it is) is going to get abuse for crap questions trying to bait AWJ into saying something like Sonia did to Farrell.
That was a horrible question to ask AWJ at the end of the game. Shame on journalistic scum. How the heck does anyone think he feels? I know how i would feel.
