Fortunately the wind will help with the stifling temperatures.

[Scubby]

That France strip is an absolute belter!

[Futtocks]

There's a Twitch stream but it is geo-blocked, and you can't get round it with a VPN, as far as I can tell.

Search Rugby XIII if you're in France and it should work.

The crowd does not look that big … I suppose the shocking heat has kept many people away

Whoever's there will be hiding under shade.

Yes, this is working nicely for me (in Spain atm)

[Oxford]

Great so far, and what Im wouldn't give to be inAlbi right now!

[Futtocks]

Some of the Welsh players' faces are getting redder than their shirts.

I'm watching on viaoccitanie. Just used the link that was posted on rugbyleagueontv and it worked fine.

That makes three separate stream sources for this match, and only one of them geo-blocked. Good to have options.

Caught a glance of the stand behind the camera for a moment there. Actually looks like quite a decent crowd in.

Subbing Ben Evans was more like an act of mercy than an interchange.

[Man of Kent]

Score?

[Scubby]

This could get painful for Wales in the second half with that strong wind.

Didn't realise they had video ref at this!

How is that a try with that dodgy ptb?!

France?

Yep 12-0 - two close range soft tries. France up against a fierce wind in the first half.

Around 4-5k maybe. Holds 13k

Yeah I was thinking about 5k which would be about right for a one off France test if past crowds are anything to go by. 

[Jeff Stein]

Bit bemused that the French commentators can't tell the difference between Rhys Williams and Dalton Grant, particularly as the former led the team out as captain.
