It's dire, isn't it? I thought kick tennis was a thing of the past.

Both sides are so blunt. Wales being a bit smarter so far.

Lydiate pinged for the same offence 2 weekends in a row. Surely he'll learn at some point?

Is there a referee on the planet who will be neutral at the millennium stadium, Cardiff? I think it would be best if before the 6 nations we just give Wales the home matches and gift them the points.

Just reading the article now, interestingly he said if he keeps getting pinged for it he may have to think about changing his technique. Even more interesting was Gatland's view on the matter:

'Wales coach Warren Gatland advised 53-times capped Lydiate to work on his technique to ensure he doesn’t incur the wrath of no-nonsense English referee Wayne Barnes during Friday night’s vital Six Nations title clash in Cardiff.

“I think for him it’s just making sure he gets it right technically,” said the Kiwi.'

Prophetic.

Worst scrum refereeing i've seen for ages. Sooooo slow.

Wales not got enough points for being comfortable for 39 minutes of this half.

Wales could, should have over-run France in that half - but are playing a low tempo game.slowly walking to lineoiuts, taking forever to clear rucks and mauls. If they wake up they will win by a mile.

Barnes is destroying the scrum and hence the game. What a dirge. Anyones game.

He needs to stop critiquing the scrum and he needs to stop being over familiar with some players.

Just Barnes inability to let a game flow by spending so much time pouncing around at the scrum

As Ali Williams says, we are watching a game of Wayne Barnes reffing

Nope. Is anyone? The pundits are going to have to come up with something now that the 'highlights' have run out. Luckily we can just hear Inverdale babbling on Smile

I'm not sure why Ali Williams thought this would be a cracker. Wales and France are the bosh merchants of the 6Ns.

Despite the close scoreline at the moment France aren't really in this - I think it's only a matter of time before Wales break through.  Could end up being a bit of a beating for France I reckon.

Ali Williams is a complete plank. His claim before the game that all the foreigners in T14 was good for French rugby was hilarious.

Seems that for the good of Six Nations rugby, England have to win this Championship this year. It's been such turgid drivel that scoring 2 or 3 tries is going to be enough.

Should have scored off that,

G.Davies is not a good enough passer under pressure, the one to Lydiate was poor.
