Gatland surely has to put fresh legs on now, if Wales have a chance of winning this.
There's not too many players who'll have the Italians scared on our bench. Hook drop goal to take us two scores clear , 16-24 , 74mins |

WIn the ball , kick it back to them , repeat time after time etc etc. Italy lineout hasn't been too good so I don't know why we're not aiming for touch more.

If Italy had the composure they would've won this. A big get out of Jail card for Wales today.

George Clancy has decided that any line out throw he sees from both sides will be straight , no matter what angle it comes in from.
Another Flood pen 9-3 , 17mins |

Now Clancy decides punching the ball sideways out of the breakdown isn't a yellow card offence.
France pen 6-9 19mins. |

All gone a bit scrappy and loose in the last five minutes. England did well to force a French knock on in attack and Poitrenaud messes up catching an up n under.

Real contest at the scrum, with France having the edge. Corbisiero doing really well.
Not sure what England were doing in the last 15 mins, couldn't make the simple pass. Can both teams keep up the intensity of play and tackling? |

Need to see the angle on that French pass called forward. England deserve the lead due to taking their chances but Clancy has been harsh on France.

Now Clancy ignores a knock on but Ashton messes up the scoring pass. England played to the whistle as they are entitled to but this ref should never be in charge of such an important game again.

![]() No matter how many times the BBC show it, the Frenchman will always be handing off that ball into touch.
