French team at the beginning of 6 nations : Titular missing : woki, mauvaka, danty, jaminet, Villiers - Coming back from injury : first match - willemse, cros - All of them present in the game against Ireland last year. Missing in Irish team : furlong, Sheehan, gibson-park Waiting for the WC - discipline is linked to good shape most often

Farrell in Ireland, Edwards in France. It’s not too difficult to work out England.

They need to bring somebody in to teach the French team some discipline! They were shocking in Rome!!!

[@edouardmontfort7816]

And teach the English ref how to ref... 18 penalties ! France's average is 9 under Galthié (3 years). Last yellow card was 2 years ago. Half of the decisions are very arguable. To find 18 penalties to 7, against the better team vs the small, in a game that wasn't difficult for France initially, you must only be looking to one side. French coach saying at half time on TV "we asked the players to stop contesting ruck, whatever we do today is wrong. We'll have to wait for the Italians to loose the ball by themselves in their possession". French staff is not SA. In 3 years they never criticized a ref openly. Absolute robbery what happened today. And regarding "they need to bring someone to discipline them" => it's been 2 years there is an international ref within the staff.

@@edouardmontfort7816 France are one of the favourites to won the world cup. Do you still believe that after seeing them in Rome yesterday! Good teams work out what they can get away with for each referee - and adjust their game accordingly. France did not do that yesterday and very nearly lost to a brave Italian side which has come on in leaps and bounds over the last 2 years. If France play like they did yesterday in Dublin next week they will be absolutely annihilated mais je dois aussi dire que chaque match est un nouveau chance pour apprendre! ;-)

@@keltiquewood It will be another day in Dublin, with another referee... But it won't be easy. Ireland in Ireland is possibly the toughest opponent one can face in world rugby today.
