[2025 Six Nations] France vs Wales - 31/01/25

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Just needed to say quickly that Jamie Roberts has the worst hair out there, just shave it ffs.

Good to see Bryan Habana still likes to talk about turning the defender.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

All Wales so far.

It really isn't

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Scoreboard looks like ****

 

[ncurd]

Got a 55 inch OLED TV...ITVX turning the frame rate to a bag of ****.

That post aged well

 

[ncurd]

Well he's back.

 

[Which Tyler]

Why disallow the quick lineout?

 

[Bluemoon]

Watkin is having a tough start at 12 not looking comfortable in that channel at all. Poor kick in attack early on, knock on, caught out of defensive line once or twice as well.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Quite like the French shirts. Collars always good.

 

[Gavin]

Opposition scrum half can't go past the scrum tunnel now?

Not sure I like that.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Clock RFC is beating the crap out of France

Yup, I hate it.
Takes away core skills from both SHs and #8s when there were already laws to prevent the silly buggers if they'd chosen to use them.
It's just too much protection - and I say that as a SH!

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

Ok Wales, I admit it, I was not expecting this score after 10 minutes. I'll downgrade the French win to 75 points

 

[Which Tyler]

Old man Liam needed to give that

 

[dirty harry]

Aldritt both hands on the floor, in Tomos way very lucky not to give a pen. Then France win a lucky pen...

 

[TommiG88]

So this new line out rule. I don't get it. Teams will just throw men up every time to stop some really wonky line outs

 

[BrokenWing]

How to utterly ruin any kit - stick a massive badge of the gopping 6N logo on it.

Which means that they'll be less effective to resist the maul.

It just a matter of materiality. If the throw isn't straight, but there's no challenge, it doesn't matter, so let's have it not matter.
