France should have this easy, even if I find it odd that PSA has decided to start a backrower at 4 and our weaker tighthead prop at 3 against the Romanian scrum. Every journo reporting that this team is made up of second-stringers, not sure I agree about that. Apart from the tight 5 and maybe 10, most French supporters would like to see that backrow, halfback and backline start against Ireland.

Yea true that. The scoreline might be different without it.
Parra and Dulin the best for me on that half, Fofana had about two touches and made as many breaks, they need to get the ball more for those guys

Its so furstrating to watch the Romanian 9 take 2-3 steps before EVERY pass, he gives so much time for the defence to shoot out to the line.

Romania switch fly half, lets hope their back play will improve from 'disastrous' to anything else

When the French machine is flowing, they're like a symphony. Right now they're more like an out-of-tune brass band.

Was about to check whether Ruan Pienaar was playing, then I realised it cannot be him - he takes 5 to 6 steps.

Commentators on ITV having some brainfarts again. Calling that a triple movement because he "didn't have momentum any more".

Wonder if they've ever heard of placing the ball.

They were inelegant In their analysis but right in their conclusion.
He is entitled to
Play the ball once in any direction: he played it twice.

Fofana grabs a nice inside ball from Dulin and wiggles his way through to the meat-line, kick succesful 31-6. 10 to go
