If France win by 20pts ,(with a try bonus) and finish level with Wales, it is a try count back between the two. At the moment Wales have scored 20 tries (5 games),and France 15 tries in 4 games, with Fridays match to come. So we should be hoping for France to win by 20 points and score 5 tries, because that would make one heck of a game! What's the next tie breaking factor after that, head to head or total points score? If it's the latter, that really favours Wales, unless the Scotland game is truly mental. 47 points is a lot to overhaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Scotland should probably have at least two in the bin, how they got away with the warning I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Well, well. Cat? Meet pigeons Oh France. they get the one man advantage with a red for Russell. Then a sub immediately gets a yellow card and negates the advantage for the last 10 mins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love France's brain fades! Why didn't they kick it out and win the match! They couldn't get the 21 points, so JUST WIN THE GAME! Or not.

Yeah it was a comic end to the competition wasn't it.......why didn't Dulin kick it dead for the win ? He is playing against Gloucester next week in the Champions cup (for La Rochelle).....hope he continues his game management expertise 😉 Good win for Gloucester last night against Exeter (with a bonus point)......but have to say that Chiefs sent a very mixed team, including four academy players.........but you can only play what is in front of you, and Chiefs led 14-15 at HT...........LRZ and Johnny May played, but neither scored.
