🏉Impressive Fiji winger Wainiqolo levelled at 21-21 but France knocked over two penalties through Ramos before centre Depoortere’s second score took them clear at 34-21 in sold out Bordeaux
Fiji let down by poor lineout otherwise close contest

Minuses: First up tackling, losing most aerial battles and still kicking a bit much, injuries to key players ahead of important rankings match v Japan, Argentina hitting 50

🏉Promising first half for Wales at times but still a lot to do after slow start and sloppy end
First up tackling needs to improve and Pumas threatening down left
Ruck speed good in possession and a couple of decent turnovers

🏉Wales side to face Argentina. Would have expected Smith to start with Carre on bench. Griffin maybe benched because short of game time? Fingers crossed and hopefully Tandy & Co will get the most out of what Wales have got, with a solid coaching team. #Rugby #Wales

🏉Interesting to hear what the two sets of supporters make of the draw between Dragons & Ospreys?
Ospreys in control for most of game, Dragons finished strongly & could have won it
Anyway good to see some Wales players in decent nick
Crowd of 5.5K a bit disappointing? #Rugby

🏉Committed and passionate stuff in draw at RP even if not highest quality. Dragons put more decent phases together without having the cutting edge. Ospreys mostly more efficient before fading.
