Hugely enjoyable game. I am finally seeing why DuPont is rated so highly, he’s a machine, but Rees Zammit has been superb, incredibly fast for a man of his size. Wales are playing on a different level to the way they have for the rest of the tournament, despite the wins. French look rattled at the beginning of the second half.
Ref was convinced on grounding and asked tmo to look for knock on in build up but not look at the grounding....
But they did end up looking at the grounding and needed to be 100% it wasn’t grounded because the on pitch decision was try. At the end of the move it definitely wasn’t grounded but could, possibly, have been a split second earlier. I don’t know but the ref, who has been excellent, was explaining everything very clearly throughout, the big difference between TMO reviews and the black hole of VAR in football. What a finish from Rees Zammit. Grounded on line so no try. Clock has been stopped a lot this half.
Yay, Wales get another opposition player sent off and a try against them cancelled! To be fair I think it was fair enough. Still enough time for France, all 14 of them. 14 each! 13 for Wales now..... and ****ing lucky not to be down to 12, penalty try looming Try, one more will give it to France.........Wales had this in the bag 20 minutes ago. Unbelievable. France never gave up and win 3 minutes into the red. What a brilliant game.
