Mon 17 Oct: RLWC: France v Greece KO 7.30pm

[JimBronco]

Dezaria a handful early on gets a try too

[GeordieSaint]

France have some good players. Belmas, Seguier et al are solid forwards. Garcia is exceptional. Hope they can lay a good platform to give England a game on Saturday.

Yup - so it's great news that SL did the best they could to shaft Toulouse.

There is an attendance thread with discussion galore. 

But those moaning about moaning should sod off there too.

France shirt is a classic. Great to have Greece at the tournament after the politics and some live RL on for those of us without Sky.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Good tackle!

Whats that weird spanish trumpet thing that everyone cheers??

Heard it in a few games now.....

[JimBronco]

It's not hard for France to gain good ground with most sets. Greece were disappointing with theirs from 35 out.

Catalans used to do it at their home games. Think it’s spread about a bit now

[Will Holt]

Great stuff from Greece, gigot been horrendous

[Guest]

Good game to watch. Bit of atmosphere too.

[Hughsehhh]

Pretty awesome that Greece have several domestic players in their squad. Anyone know if any are in the current 17?

At least it's not the vuvuzela - SA soccer world cup.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Greece not giving up here and getting their reward.

[The Legend]

Greece already look like they have better structure in attack than Scotland had. I think they'll score points tonight if they execute well enough.

Good effort from Greece so far. They’re not going to die wondering 

[DavidM]

Greece have some nice shape in attack. This is a very good start to the game 

[Chanter]

France are very ring rusty, Greece look good

It's a weird Spanish trumpet.

Anyway, I think that towards the end of the game, Greece will suffer from lack of fitness.

 

[Tim Streets tache]

Impressed with Greece thus far!

OLE !

[Tim Streets tache]

Tony Gigot is such a weird player

[Dave T]

Billy Magoulias has already done more here tonight than he did in all his games at Wire! 

Enjoying this game.
