[RWC2023] France v Namibia Date: Thursday, 21 September Kick-off: 20:00 BST

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

444 at the moment. I got 497 last week overall.

Crying, screaming, throwing up. Wtf did I triple captain Ramos for

 

[die_mole]

where were you when rugby died?

 

[Which Tyler]

Just heard DuPont on way to hospital

Not remotely surprisedneeda an x-ray or more likely, a CT

ETA, and there's France's biggest ever RWC score

 

[TRF_Olyy]

 

[die_mole]

that's such a weak penalty

 

[Which Tyler]

PT, so time for a restart, the century is still on!

 

[Becca]

Oh dear.
Selecting your first choice players has come back to bite them.

 

[die_mole]

I suspect Dupont will wire it and do whatever is necessary to play. Broken bones are often forgot about when talking about headshots. Only ever talk about concussions.

 

[Scotty]

Pen try is the best out come, no conversion meaning time to have 1 more attack to get over a 100

 

[die_mole]

bougarait chucking it into touch is a fitting outcome

 

[spursindevon]

So, what did we learn from that game?? Answers on a postcard please

Don't risk your best players in a nothing match?

 

[Becca]

I

Don't risk your best players in a nothing match?

I concur !

 

[Which Tyler]

Would anyone be surprised if we see Dupont stay with the squad, sit out Italy, and maybe the SF, but play the QF and Final (if there) wearing one of those legal face masks?

He's just one of those players you think it's going to take more than a fractured cheek bone to keep him off the pitch at a home world cup and probably France's best ever chance.

Nice to see Sam agreeing with me

Going off NHL it looks like a cheek bone is 1-3 weeks and a jaw is a day to a month depending on whether you are willing to wire it shut or not.

 

[dirty harry]

That was just depressing.

World rugby bang on about player welfare, but then allow amateur players who are forced to quit their jobs to attend a tournament and get demolished by freaks!

Will it take a law suit of severely injured amateurs to sue world rugby before they sort this BS out?!

96-0 does not grow the game!

Ps my GF sat down pre kick off and looked at the lineup and said 'fiver says Dupont goes off injured, it's what should happen when you pick your first team to pump amateurs'

Can you imagine a Frenchman drinking wine through a straw?

But England are risking Farrell on Saturday...how ever will we cope if we lose him!...

 

[Duct Tape]

No! I got him triple pointed

Well then I'm blaming you …..

Hope he's ok.

We'd manage.
England have better players at both 10 and 12 than Farrell.
