While that game was played back in March there
is still an air despairing its unusual ending - yeah,
the French won over Wales, tho we’d had to wait
twenty minutes of inexplicable ‘over-time’ for the
final whistle blown by Wayne Barnes - but after a
French score & conversion, & thus besting Wales
by 20 - 18. Wales lead throughout the match, yet
as they say - playing in France is very ‘different’
So 119 mins & 55 seconds in a scheduled 80 min
contest created a controversy suggesting it is the
day Rugby lost its head; well whatever - they had
an ‘enquiry’ & agreed maybe the FFR had erred a
bit - or Barnsey let the cat out of the bag - or that
replacements were crook, or it just wasn’t cricket
