Brilliantly though North has played, especially with the ball, I find his defence sometimes a bit shaky.
Henry Slade isolated him just before half time in the England game.
Wouldn’t be surprised if 1st phase they stick Foxy at 13 so that any French pre-set moves don’t end up down North’s channel. The French like to use blockers on the 10,12 and to give Jaliburt space around the 13. I’d be much more confident having Foxy make those decisions than North. |

I’m also expecting to see a bit of French “choreographed chaos” in attack.
The try that Bierne scored against us in the 1st game, where Henshaw just ran back towards the ruck to find Tips slip a tackle, was very similar to the Penaud try vs Ireland where Jalibert switched direction to find a snoozing Irish blindside. They’ve got quality runners like Tomas who can do that and find a small gap between a prop and a back etc

In attack, I hate to say it, but the French maul defence isn’t their strong point. So we’d do well to target them there.
The Itoje try last weekend came from a maul and the James Lowe “try” where his toe was in touch stemmed from an Irish lineout maul going 10-15m. Having said that Le Roux was in the sin bin at that point, and against England I think he’d been taken off. What I’m trying to say is Ken Owens to score is a half decent bet 😅

Halfpenny is class, Liam is also brilliant although does have the odd mad moment still. Its one heck of a choice between 2 world class full backs. What makes it worse is there no place on the bench for either of them. Its a tough business leaving out 1 of these legends for a grand slam decider.

On balance I tend to agree with Scarletnut. Liam is a bit of a liability in defence, his tackling is pretty weak overall getting bumped off far too easily & of course his temperament is always one step from a card. Leigh beats him on all the above & of course he can get you points from 50m+.

None of these so called pundits outside Wales think we can win. The way theyre talking up France is ott imo....France is awesome france france france...The way they came within 3 points of beating mighty england was so incredible? The same england team we put 40 points on... They scored 2 cracking tries but most of the rest of the match they didnt achieve a great deal. Gave away a lot of penalties, succumbed to the rolling maul and faded late on

Bit surprised to see Nicky Smith being put right back in, I thought Rhodri had done ok in the small bits I have seen of him.

I think that Rhodri is injured and has been released from the squad.

I'm concerned about our midfield defence off French phase 1 or fast ball.
