    At least he’s only in Abu Dhabi, rather than the Far East. I wonder if Saints will let him have a break, or whether Ralph will want him straight back?

    France playing some brilliant rugby!

    How long is it that anyone was able to say that?

    We're being hammered :( Inverdale's going to be so smug at half-time, which is why I'm watching on S4C...

    Always good to see France playing well. It’s been too long.
    And .... it’s a World Cup year. Could be that France May, once again, shock some of the Southern Hemisphere teams.

    Surprised to see Wales making so many mistakes. Must be gut-wrenching for Eddie Butler!

    It's cold and wet there, so we're used to that... Not much confidence in Wales this year, especially as the Scarlets are off the boil.

    Oh! Lovely drop goal!

    Wow! I’d never have thought expected this! France going to have to show character now and the crowd will be on their backs! What an absolute howler there!

    Ooh, ooh, ooh!!! Reminiscent of Wales coming back to beat England after being 16-6 (I think) down at half time :emoticon-0137-clapp Gatland must have been rather... sharp... in the changing room.

    Come on, boys!!!

    Woeful from France. They have gifted Wales two tries.

    Terrible passing by France, George North eats those for breakfast.

    I'm absolutely stunned!!! Very well done, boys :1980_boogie_down::1980_boogie_down::1980_boogie_down:

    They're going to have to improve a lot though...

    If France can play like that first half they will cause teams real trouble. Great effort from Wales but France should have won that.

    Well done Wales and let's hope France finish bottom. Well as Italy are worse that is impossible. Despite their explosive start, France still flatter to deceive. They could do with a dose of Schmidt or Gatland, or even Eddie Jones post World Cup.
