5 points for a try according to one of the commentators on the BBC!

He can't pronounce a simple name like Gigot either.

As broadcasters go, he's hardly alone on that count, at least.

Should have kinsella the gig

We’re seriously lacking any quality in this side. I rate Josh Ralph but he’s behind a very beaten pack.

James Olds has never played centre in his life and is struggling hence why’s Wales always attack down the left where players are comfortable in their position.

Believe it or not this is also Courtney Davies first game of rugby of the season. That’s also showing.

I’ve muted it pal (in typical rl fashion)

[welshmagpie 643]

Curtis Davies and Sion Jones given Wales some impetus here.

[MatthewWoody 646]

France superior by far.

But God, Wales would deserve a try now. Putting pressure.

[Padge 5,253]

Nice cut back inside

[MatthewWoody 646]

Deserved. 

Not saying they can comeback, but a deserved try. 

[MatthewWoody 646]

26-6

[welshmagpie 643]

We’ve really come to life since the changes. This is more like it.

[welshmagpie 643]

26-10 Kear.

KTC

[Futtocks 12,026]

Good intercept, but the Welsh #3 didn't have the pace.

But it set up a try for Kear, right on l'Hooteur.

[JonM 2,234]

Still can't get my head round someone called "Rhys" playing for France *against* Wales

[Big Picture 1,367]

26-12 at the half, Wales have got back into the contest.  The second half could be very interesting now!

[welshmagpie 643]

James Olds certainly can kick can’t he. Brilliant conversion.

Sets up the second half nicely as I was worried France would run away with this.

 

Just seen. Shock they’ve used the old, old Wales RL logo. RL always shooting itself in the foot.

[Wolford6 1,739]

Go Wales!

A bit of bash will go a long way against this French team. Dan Fleming's showing the way.

We can't expect that to change until the sport has competent administrators who don't schedule matches like this with less than 2 months' lead time so that they can't draw any decent crowds.

[MatthewWoody 646]

Well done Wales for their reaction after being 26-0 down.

14 points are still a mountain to climb but we have a 2nd half, that's the news.

Working absolutely fine on BBC website for me.

Far too easy for France so far. Playing Serbia & England as warm-ups must have helped.

It works fine on the iPad but when I cast it to my TV it lasts about five minutes then drops out. Any techies out there who can tell me where I’m going wrong?

[Padge 5,253]

Wales comeback could make second half interesting but have a feeling France could step up a gear

In fairness, they could not really have expected the location chosen for this game to have had some of the worse flash flooding in France in 100+ years a week beforehand.
