France v Australia
-
Aussies name their side tonight
As usual they seem to drip feed a few selections via the media. Tupou in for Alaalatoa, Will Skelton might come straight into the starting xv and White at halfback
-
I’m off to this game. Look forward to seeing how France play. I expect a crowd full of expectation given France are a decent chance to win next year

Who’s the reserve TH? Skelton behind Thor is quite some beef.
-
@pakman Robertson plays both sides.
That’s not a bad Aussie side. Good to see Hooper back. The last time I saw Skelton play was in that Baabaa’s match and he looked fit and firing.
Tom Banks on the wing is not ideal

That's Tom Wright.
Tom Banks has an injury I believe.

Sorry, yeah Tom Wright. I’m not sure wing is his right position even for a league convert.

He finally did something good in breaking out for a great try to us
-
I’m switching between this and the league , Aussies looking ok , that was a bloody good try
-
-
France slowly waking up with a bit of possession - our discipline slipping at the breakdown. Good maul defence tho
-
France jumped across our lineout there
-
Fucking hell look after the ball you idiots
Some very ordinary ruck technique led to the pressure causing that try
-
That was held up
-
Had Kellaway taken the ball back over the line then = 5m scrum, but saved by the bell and HT?

Yeah. Or if he'd just dived on the ball, or hacked it dead
-
I love this rugby from the French. Man they are physical.
-
@NTA hardcase watching the French crowd in the background , state of shock that was some try , 2 of the best tries you would see in the space of 18 hours
-
Aussies got to stay within that 7 point buffer and they are a punchers chance
-
Jacob letting the breakdown devolve a little
-
Skelton on eh? Frost gets another full game
-
DuPont is a hell of a player. He deserves to be the player of the year last year. Arde for my player of the year this year.
-
Fucking French trainer!

Agreed. Makes it all look so easy - must suck to be reserve halfback in France.
You're never playing
-
Good try by the Wallabies. Aus take the lead.

Thought we had lost one of those rucks but Jaco Peyper so 🤷♂️
-
Tom Wright. Maaate.
-
-
Bored now
-
Tupou, Valentini and Big Will - steady diet of those 3 will do some business going forward.
-
Jeez skelton looks fit

Of?
Brilliant what I’ve seen. Oz looking fantastic.
This is a great French team.
-
@MajorRage was just that period of kicking
-
Now they are pinging Oz for tackling a bloke without the ball. Dummy runners can mill you out of it but you can't touch them apparently.
-
@MajorRage we've scrapped hard and besides a few idiot decisions, we are playing up to France's level rather than down to Scotland's

Did France for it earlier.

Why does Harrison put on that stupid voice? Stop it man.
-
What was that last penalty for?
