I love how your chats with pundits/fans from various countries are not just technically interesting but also really good-natured. You and your guest come across as genuine fans of the game, rising well above any narrow-minded partisanship.
Souhaitons voir un beau match de rugby. J'ai une affection particulière pou les Gallois. Le French flair est unique, mais je suis sûre, que le Wales Flair va revenir bientôt!
Barassi is a very talented player who was already in Galthié's plans when he took charge of the French team. Unfortunately Barassi's career has been hampered by injuries, and he was last selected for France during the 2021 Australia tour. I'm glad he's hit form again this season with Toulouse - just watch his performance against Exeter in the Champions cup.
I hate the fact that Gatland and Howley seem to completely disregard backline creativity but, given they do, I’m pleased they’ve picked the team they have. We will create very little and will fail to absorb the pressure, but it means the more creative types will be less affected by the loss, and might get a chance to shine later.
I think something like 42-19 would put Galthié in sacking territory. This French team definitely has the potential to be one of the best teams to ever walk on a rugby field.
@subliminalart.1637 so your saying France at best, will only score 1 try and say get a grip. Minimum 6 tries max ....there isnt one. 2 to 3 penalty tries included. We have no front 5 and when they tire we will be trounced

Thank you, I personally am a fan of the game first - I’m glad that comes across.

We got quite a big pack ourselves wales that is and personally I think we'll do well.
I’m hopeful for a highly competitive first game. Which players do you like?
Wales 27 France 9. Come on Wales.❤❤❤🇬🇧🙏
With France kicking three drop goals?
Wales would be advised not to let Ntamack settle in the early stages of the game. 😉
… or the middle stages of the game or the latter stages of the game 🤣
@cassandrasmith8576 wales would be advised to not turn up is what you mean
what does a win look like for Wales. Keeping France under 40 and a scoring a try would be a result.
Tim, you are Guillaume Canet's twin . He is a French actor . Have a look and let me know 😀 and thank you for your videos.
Sheesh! He's a handsome devil, isn't he! I think his nose might be a tad straighter than mine though... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And thank you, by the way 🤗

Short term pain for long term gain?
@@amateurrugbypodcastI think so, yes! Nice way of putting it.

One day our back will look like this, and I look forward to it!

10. Edwards

Roumat is a superb line-out operator, did you not watch him play for Toulouse ?
@@mahasamatman12 who calls the Toulouse lineouts?
@@amateurrugbypodcast Roumat
French rugby is at a different level…. We are going to have our asses kicked. 55-10
Ooof! That’s a big score!
@@88leehale he's being Conservative with 55 points.
Wales got more chance of getting shit from a rocking horse than beating France on Friday. 50 point margin
Wales won't win and I fear a hamm
ering I as Welsh man I hope I'm wrong, but I'm just being realistic, just hope we give it a good flight.
Don't underestimate Wales, plenty of Grand slams and triple crowns in the cupboard,last time we had a whitewash we won Grand Slam soon after.
Get a grip man. Wales 27 France 9.🇬🇧🙏
