A complete farce in this game, and in this tournament that France gets to move on.
Dont watch a lot of rugby, but that sending off was an atrocious call given other similar stuff I've seen in this world cup, especially given that its a semi final.
The fact that for the next 50 minutes and for the entire game that France couldnt and didnt score a try tells you all you need to know about the French team.
To top it all off, the one French player proclaiming that they won this game on "Pure heart" tells you all you need to know about that French egotisim and arrogance. Wales playing a man down, their captain no less, for 3/4 of the game, scores the only try, and outplays an overrated team at a huge disadvantage, but its France that shows more heart?
France lost all its credibility and claim of any heart when they failed to show up against Tonga, so to pretend they won this game with anything other then referees assistance and a whole bunch of luck, against a team that showed a lot more resilience and courage then French teams (rugby or otherwise) ever have, is a complete joke that no one is buying.
Here's hoping to a 50 point final loss against the AB as some sort of small justice.
