[2024 Six Nations] 🇫🇷 vs 🇮🇹

[BrokenWing]

That is savage. Since some French players started charging when the ball fell over is there an argument he should have been allowed to re-take it?

Surely if it's a penalty they can't get within 10 until he's kicked it?

 

[Gray_Mouser]

Is Italy better, or are the other sides worse? Both I would say. Except Ireland of course.

French players seem frustrated, they feel they have lost. Maybe they should be relieved, it could (should?) have been worse.

Just seen the replay on Italiano TV
Coupe de cul, out of reality

 

[AlRums]

Karma for the Scotland decision

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

How does a ball get blown over in an indoor stadium?

French TV directors definitely pointed an industrial fan at it.

France should be facing a wooden spoon play off with Wales next week

I think Wales will beat them in Cardiff.

This is crazy, ref has to be empathetic!!!

 

[g6mcg]

Wouldn't have been a problem if he'd kicked it with 20 seconds to go rather than waiting so late

If they play anything like this, yes. No question about it. What on earth is going on with French rugby?

DuPont has massively strengthened his GOAT CV just by not playing. The French team has gone from legit RWC contenders to drawing with Italy in the span of months and the only thing that's changed is that he isn't there.

I'm taking the ****, like the "Scotland should have scored enough to not need a last minute try". Garbisi had no reason to expect the ball would fall off the tee

 

[West Country Wail]

Really stupid way to end a match.

Again.

The pointless, ridiculous rules of Rugby Union will be its death.

Do you mean the shot clock?

 

[spursindevon]

Hopefully all the bores will go away, Italy are genuinely building, their U20s beat France this weekend , and only lost to Ireland in the last few minutes. Apart from Ireland, they will give all the teams this year a good contest and will not be rolled over by a large margin. Rugby needs Italy, otherwise the game will wither away.

On France, I think the home world cup has had a massive psychological impact on the team, they truly believed they were destined to win.

 

[West Country Wail]

Do you mean the shot clock?

Yes. I have no problem with the shot clock but in regard to the ball falling off the tee, I think it should be reset. No one intentionally makes that happen and it shouldn't be to the detriment of the kicker.

I was always under the impression when I played, you could not move during a penalty - I stand (excuse the pun) to be corrected
