WALES 3- FRANCE 0 <3 <3

HARD LUCK WALES! Good charge down, but unfortunately it went out instead of straight on!

Welsh throw in Inside the French Half

Brilliant play by Wales! What happened at the end. The French got the ball and then dropped the ball. Did George have a try or did he push the Frenchman?

SCORE AT HALF TIME:
WALES 20 FRANCE 6

:-D :-D :-D - well done Jem!

Thanks Wend :-) :-) :-)

French commentator on BBC just said worst first half in a long time. That is France though, isn't it. One day they can be sacre bleu, another day merde.

Lets hope they stay stuck in the murd for next 40 minutes. First and last kick by Leigh was heroic - must be the Gorsedd* for him this August :-D :-D

By way, watching on S4C and skipping to BBC1 occasionally, but best commentary is on Genes ;-)

* For English followers, that is equivalent of an Earldom.

Jemm your doing a great job :-) :-)
I'm a little worried about George North, noticed he was limping and in another shot saw him holding his knee, get the ice packs on George.
You can do it Wales your playing " Tidy " :-)


Guide me, O Thou great Redeemer
Pilgrim through this barren land
I am weak but Thou art mighty
Hold me with Thy powerful hand.

Bread of heaven, bread of heaven
Feed me till I want no more (I want no more)
Feed me till I want no more.

Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing waters flow
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.

Strong Deliv'rer, Strong Deliv'rer
Be Thou still my strength and shield (strength and shield)
Be Thou still my strength and shield.

When I tread the verge of Jordan
Bid my anxious fears subside
Death of death, and hell's destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan's side

Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to Thee (give to Thee)
I will ever give to Thee

I'm offfffffffffffffffffff
