Title: France - shameful 45:6

The referee couldn't have favoured your team more.

You pulled the most shameful thing in international test rugby with the granny scrum.

AND WE STILL KICKED YOUR BUTTS!

Hang your heads low.

I know what a scrum is, what's a granny scrum?

Frances props were "injured" and all thier substiture props were "injured" too, so they had to play an uncontested scrum, its where the scrum forms but no pushing occurs.

Basically the All Black scrum was eating them for breakfast so they cheated - errr used the rules in a dodgey way - so they didn't need to contest in scrums. Its something a childrens side, or perhaps an old mans side does, not an international team.

They'll never hear the end of this, the entire french rugby team will be considered a pack of losers for doing this, even by their own countrymen. By the end of the match the commentators were saying things about the french forwards running up the white flag...

Great Britain 4, Australia 44

Now that sucks, especially since we looked we could win this series.

I'm not a big fan of the wallabies, I can't stomach the way the always kick their way to victory, but the Kangaroos absolutely gave it to you pommy buggers!!

I always thought it was a really tight contest till the final.

I missed the Blacks vs. France, which sounds like a good thing. A real shame cause French rugby is usually so good.

Still bad spirit by the damned frogs Vulcan ?

It was fun 20 years ago now I don't turn the TV on when there is a match :(

Errr did you actually watch the match straffo? What else would you call sending off a prop whos perfectly fit, saying hes "injured", so you can play uncontested scrums. It was disgraceful behaviour for an International team.

No I didn't see the match , I've not seen any since the the 5 nations in 1984 when I started to think "I don't love this rugby"

I prefer seing pure amateur team , they still have the original game and spirit.
