Sometimes I wonder at the intelligence of the people who make these decisions. If probably thousands of us at home can spot the issue, why can't they make sure before kickoff?

Poor Gabby looks freezing!

Italy were architects of their own downfall against Scotland.

Damn ..... Cotter at the microphone.

That pitch in Paris cutting up big time already

Beat me to it. Hard to believe that at thsi level a decent pitch cannot be constructed!

I moaned that the Millennium stadium was bad last week, that crater that's been created in the first minute there is much worse!

Stade De France seems to often have pitch issues, remember the frozen pitch last year!

First blood to France in this so far scrappy game

3-0

Slooooowwww ball nearly all the time. Wales don't seem to have much of an answer to the French defence and get caught a lot behind the gain line.

Less said about that first half the better :yawn:

Is Mrs Logan hiding a thermos flask under that bobble hat

I clearly know nothing about predicting rugby, so I suspect you won't be dancing.

Still who could have forecast a Scottish try fest and 3 all in the first half of Wales v France

Pitch is falling apart.

This must be the dullest match in the entire history of rugby:yawn:
The turf looks like it was laid yesterday

Every game in the six nations so far has been entertaining.......till this one!

2 pretty poor teams desperate not to lose on a pitch which it looks like they laid about an hour before kick off!

George Clancy shows that he is to reffing scrums, what a heatwave is to Eskimoes.

Bloody hooray, finally a try

13-6 to Wales

7 minutes to go

Jiffy going mental in the commentary box

The JuggerNorth gets over. Great kick from Biggar to set it up.

Now Halfpenny gets the con

6-13, 74mins.

C'mon Wales!!

GreAt pen!

16-6 and counting

Brilliant kick from Halfpenny. Having that in his armoury,might make the difference in terms of him gaining the Lions test 15 jersey.

French fans p'ing off already

LLoyd Williams on the field for about one and a half mintes, quick ball from the rucks, and try.


Will Howley recognise that for the past 70 minutes Mike Phillips, as usual, slows every passage of play down. Doubtless Phillips will play in the next match for another slow 70 minutes.

The Welsh half of me is very relieved.
