Tokyo Calling - Rugby 2019

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

Could easily have been a red card that. Cracking game this. We were talking about record KO scores yesterday, I wonder how many games have ended with both teams scoring 30 points or more, I'm pretty confident this one will.

[Ray de Galles]

Our foothold in this match is very tenuous now, Navidi's injury doubly damaging for us.

[Patrick Thistle]

Dang

[Patrick Thistle]

And just like that Moriarty comes on

And back off. Yellow card

[Antepli Ejderha]

Am I right that France have a Poirot and Wales have a Moriarty?

Elementary my dear Patrick.

[Ray de Galles]

Fuck's sake Moriaty, totally predictable.

[Ray de Galles]

I knew injuries would hit us at some point, Navidi a massive loss.

[Antepli Ejderha]

Navidi off. A huge blow. If that's his hamstring that's probably his tournament over.

[Patrick Thistle]

And just like that Moriarty comes on

[Patrick Thistle]

Am I right that France have a Poirot and Wales have a Moriarty?

[Alex Anderson]

Pivotal, perfect time and fashion to hit them back - now it's an "open, end-to-end" game from the off rather than "France are blowing Wales away".

Hopefully Wales can switch the game's monentum another notch and, by the end, we'll be talking about France running out of options and steam early on...

Oh. Oh. One of those scrum things being turned - that would be a great metaphor for what I mean wouldn't it.

[Patrick Thistle]

12-10.

[Alex Anderson]

Now we're talking! Go on.

[Ray de Galles]

A much needed bit of luck there!

[Antepli Ejderha]

Nobody saw that coming.

[Patrick Thistle]

3rd kick.off in 10 minutes

[Alex Anderson]

Out of bed at 8:10, switch on ITV, listen to two best national anthems in the world, back to bed.

Shit. Didn't expect Wales to do likewise.

[Ray de Galles]

Missing Foxy terribly in defence.

[Patrick Thistle]

Took it right through the defence there

[Antepli Ejderha]

Oh shit. France have really turned up here.

[Patrick Thistle]

Oh shit.

[Antepli Ejderha]

Exactly that. Why has someone not taught Gareth Davies how to kick?

[Ray de Galles]

Lots of poor kicking from us there, brought it on ourselves.

[Patrick Thistle]

Fucking hell. France have had their Ready Brek

[Antepli Ejderha]

That tackle and turnover from Tipuric was something else.
