France is a very efficient team and has speculated all the defensive errors of the Romanian team. Overall I'm quite OK with the way Romania played today. Very few penalties and some nice offensive actions, even if they didn't finalize them properly. Compared to the last 3 games (47-48 points difference) this result is decent.

Romania and perhaps the game needed that first 'try' that was held up in the first half to have been awarded for it to get really exciting. France didn't do much for the first 30 minutes before the yellow card but it never felt Romania believed they could beat France with the way they were kicking it up the field. Their kicking in general was poor.
Hope not but two tries in the first 10 minutes so...
Yeah I reckon we are looking at a 100 pointer. Namibia will be happyish to only be 23 points down afterhalf an hour, when they get tired after about an hour I reckon it will turn into a demolition.

Well this game sure has turned to shit in the last 5 or so minutes. Poite's loving the sound of his whistle.
Edit: Though we didn't help, taking the endless scrum reset options.
On the bright side, TKB is looking a lot better than TJP. Hopefully he replaces him on the bench.

Milton Haig's a really good coach. He built the foundation at Counties Manukau that Tana Umaga used to both win the Ranfurly Shield and take them out of the Championship division, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if this goes down to the wire.

Ugh, I was hoping Georgia would put in a good performance and make a claim for Six Nations inclusion or something but with this kind of scoreline, it's a bit hard to sell. Georgia just fell apart once Gorgodze was sent off.

To be honest, given Italy's current form I doubt anyone would be shocked, and LOOK another great try. Go Canada.

Woooow Canada. They are tearing Italy apart.

Glen Jackson's such a bad ref. I can't believe he got picked for the RWC, though I'm happy he'll never ref a NZ game.
Agreed, don't know what he was looking at.

SouthAfrica have to smash Samoa today or there will be blood. In a way, I kind of feel sorry for Samoa for what they are about to endure... The real question is whether or not Samoa can push back against sheer desperation.
It's absurd. They were literally walking like a fucking conga line.

The refereeing is like night and day when you compare this to the last game.
Ok that SA 3rd try looked like it was held up, and that Samoan try should be given. The pass was not forward it was straight, just like the last couple of passes SA did right after the disallowed try
Wtf! What an asshole just running out on the pitch! Why the he'll would u try to ruin the game like that.
