The Messi-ah is back!!

 

[Ddanno]

I HAVE to get to the Stade de France before I die (as a neutral). That place sounds like Rugby heaven

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I love French rugby. Can see these lads dominating Europe for awhile.

"Eddie Jones told him during the week: Don't worry about passing, just play with physicality"

Yeah, that sounds like EJ

It's a great place to go to, so was Parc de Princes.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lovely try,
Japan being completely outclassed but glad they're not going to be nilled

 

[AlRums]

Are there only 2 Japanese supporters?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

France are toying with them. A couple times, including Dupont there, they've tried to score individual wonder trys rather than put players through.

I think with Dupont back they'll more or less retain their standard from the World cup.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Just let them have it

 

[AlRums]

France getting away with lots of little things nothing that would really change the game, forward passes, knockons etc
