    Toulouse has lost most of its half-backs...

    Deserved win for Wales, the French played rather well in the second half, but did far too many stupid mistakes. (10 minutes left, you take the try, for honour's sake)

    I'm worried about the French scrum though, with Servat gone, and no one to really take his place (Swarzesky...). Bonnaire is retired too, and most of the forwards in the Top 14 are foreigners, so there are few young players to take their places.

    Let's hope the U20 forwards, who were impressive, will be early blossomers.
    Especially Tolofua, who will have Servat to train him in Toulouse now...

    Also, worthy of note :
    France ended the game playing :
    A spent scum half as scrum half.
    A scrum half as fly-half.
    An outside centre as inside centre.
    A former wing as outside centre (that's ok.)
    A centre as right wingman.
    A full back as left wingman.
    A fly half as full back.

    The , PSA ?

    Ireland is playing shite right now, but Rob Kearney is a GOD under the high ball. One of the best, if not THE best fullbacks i ever saw.
    What makes a real American? A cowboy hat? Enjoying a fine T-bone
    steak? Going to a baseball game? Shooting a gun? Maybe it’s the freedom to go
    into a poor country and tell them how to do things?! Heh! Those are all great
    qualities! But one thing that makes a true patriot is the ability to choose
    an American car! When you buy an import you take a hot meal off a hard
    working American’s table. There, there! This poor girl is going
    to starve to death, just because you bought a cheaper, more efficient
    Maibazu. Without gross symbols of excess, what will Americans have to look up
    to? Our great industries is a threaten! Cars, pornography, armaments! And
    they need your help! So the next time you buy a car, a piece of adult
    literature or a missile defense system! Make sure you do the American thing!

    Having their scrum pulverized by England's doesn't help.

    Somebody's still mad at having Warburton stupidly squandering a chance of being crushed by the All Blacks...

    Our grand slam after crushing the frogs has healed the pain.

    A well deserved balm, tbh.
    I think I'll be wearing my red dragon jersey tonight in the pub : it is a fitting tribute, and it has green in it, so I won't get pinched. :p

    I'd quite easily rank them fourth in the tornument anyway, missing players in this game or not.

    Great game between Wales and France. A victory well-deserved.

    On a different note: Belgium has been promoted to group 1A. Feels good, bro. I really hope that by some miracle we end up qualified for the RWC 2015, because it'd be a major boost for rugby in this country.

    I have a national team member in my year at school. He's really positive too. Players like Debaty (who's switched to France obviously) are coming thick and fast.


    Russia and Romania are also teams on the rise. I hope the Six Nations expands one day. Maybe we could have a Rest Of Europe XV with Italy and aforementioned countries competing for the title itself.

    One of the players in the national team comes from my club (Sep Debacker), and he seemed eager. He put up a ton of weight, though lol

    That would be a dream come true. They could form a competition on their own.

    Missing Paul O'Connell and Brian O'Driscoll is decisive.
    No lock or centre Wales have can compare to these men. No player born in Wales will ever compare to BOD.
