Although, there may have been a little push there.
Not enough to disallow it though.

Wales made more yards already than they did all game against Ireland.
ref got plenty of work to do here to get his mates back into this
Well, in this day and age you would think they would at least look. Would be ridiculous if it was rubbed disallowed when there wasn't a knock-on. Only takes seconds to check.
Very harsh pen, Rolland always has been a scrum lottery.
I think the bloke on the bench, Macheneaud, is a far better scrum-half.
Thanks curious cat for the scores. My TV is so big I cant lift my head enough to see it in top corner
whats the world coming to when france pick a 9 based on his bulk?
And Saint-Andre doesn't have Michalak on the bench to solve all his problems!
ireland in for a stroll tomorrow on the form lines 
Gives you the impression he should have kicked from the start.
France hanging on and nothing more though.

Well that was never 5 seconds, but then Doussain is like the French Mike Phillips
He'd do pretty well to roll out from there.
French scrum looking nothing special though.

The French are top class MUGS.. Well played Wales .. very easy
God it's refreshing to see a Wales scrum half with quick service get the ball away with no fkin about.
I wish they'd stop switching cameras so often ... I feel I miss something every time they do
Big no show from Fra and a much improved Wales - amazing how form in sport can be so up and down game to game.
Ire and to a lesser extent Eng got to be loving this for the outright
points avalanche in the 2nd half if Wales keep this up
French just not able to get into Welsh faces like Ireland did. They just plod around expecting everyone to play at their pace for some reason.
I've just started knittig my Grand Slam 2014 scarf, Vis.
Lovely tier 1 pattern.

Hmm, layed the Jolly and now I feel like a twit. French look overwhelmed by the occasion.
In the top 14 very few away sides win
something to do with the French psyche ?
something to do with the French psyche ?
I wish this was on the BBC so we didn't have adverts.
Yes CC, but also to do with them putting out vastly weakened teams for away games, which is probably something to do with the French psyche.....

in fairness France were poor against England & Italy

A lot of SH Oafs up here though. It's a bit lonely being the only NH representative at the top table 
Doussain has become Saint-Andre's new Michalak. Plays like crap, pick him again, and again.
Fra going nowhere once again. This is just like Ire v Wal but with shirts swapped.
I'm going to have to go to the RL soon and I wasn't expecting that tonight 
Would be nice if they just tried to get some forwards hitting onto the ball and had a bosh for a bit. Can't even do that.
78 caps for Szarewski - he really hasn't achieved much in all those games has he?
The usual Rolland shambles at scrums. He did something last year that meant we had to watch him look stern and not know what was going on as well.
Farcical scenes yet again. Can the IRB not sort these fkin scrums out.
i would have thought that's beyond the refs remit!
Not for Alain. If he wants to pop out to get a mini-digger, we can all wait for him to do so.
Players have to take responsibility as well, with the new engagement sequence theres no reason for scrums to go down unless they are pricking about.
I think Monsieur Rolland's eyesight is poor
he's forever getting knock ons wrong

Reckon you could get a job as a superleague TMO
GAME OVER
GAME OVER
where in the rules does it say you can't roll it ?
Depends on how it's done. Becomes a double movement at some point if not instantaneous. I wasn't paying much attention to this one to be honest.
Wales now not totally out of the Outright market with this margin of victory.
Yes Wales have done v well on points catch up tonight.
how did davies make gethin jenkins mom,had to be warburton surely.
Agree with you knot. Mom for a prop yellow carded for scrum infringement!
rolland was a joke penalised the french prop for losing his footing but let jenkins get away with it, as for the TMO how could he not see the push by north prior to the first try or the 2 pushes that denied france a scoring opportunity. as for the sending off of picomoles that was a joke no wonder he gave rolland a round of applause as he left the field
Jenkins was immense in the loose from the start.
The Welsh scrum dominated which was the foundation of the Welsh success.

Impressed with the speed and urgency that Rhys Webb brought to the game at scrum half. Got the backs moving nicely.
agreed joci, should keep the no 9 shirt for me. france were atrocious though.
glad i never laid any of the 15 wales on the outright. was tempted to after some of the comments on here last week.
I laid some 14, 12 and 10 and had a bit back at 15.
Looked a good value bet and as it turned out I am happy with the deal as they are still 5/1 after what was the biggest win that could have been expected. Those taking the 10 got an awful price.
