RWC: France v Tonga (Pool C)

[Damo]

On replay that might have been harsh. If the ball was out, then the halfback's fingers were on the ball and he was probably fair game to be tackled.

[MiketheSnow]

Tonga will blow this.

Dumb is as dumb does.

[ACT Crusader]

Another kick chase and gather by Raka, in traffic.

[ACT Crusader]

Surely a knock on by France on that cross field kick?

[ACT Crusader]

That was clear during live play.

[Bones]

That really didn't look clearly forward on replay?

Thank fuck for that

[Stargazer]

Glad they decided to have a look at it.

[Machpants]

I almost want France to win cos I have a Wolverine inspired Man crush on Medard's chops

[Stargazer]

I'd love another upset. I don't think it's going to happen, but it would be awesome.

[Rapido]

T2s just can't cope with modern T1 rush defences. Tonga have looked best when they've taken route 1.

Also think an old fashioned 'up and under ' would be a good tactic for some T2s.

[Stargazer]

Yesssssss!

[ACT Crusader]

The drop goal is on kids....

[Stargazer]

Holy sh*t, I never thought this would be so close!

[ACT Crusader]

Argh couldn’t secure the restart.

Not a bad effort by Tonga.

[Bones]

That was absolutely poop by Tonga to finish, they were still going backwards running away from the kick!

[Stargazer]

Well done, Tonga! Only just running out of time.

France should be worried about this performance.

[chimoaus]

Well done Tonga, you wonder how France will go vs England. Do we think Tonga improved with time together in camp, goes to show how unfair it Is on them when they often have limited to no build up before tests.

Argentina will leaving wondering what if?

[cgrant]

Surely selection mistakes cost Tonga this game as the starting scrum half and 1st Five were poor and their replacements a lot better.
