The scoreline was a tad disappointing, but the match was pretty close so it's not that devastating. Most worrying is a feeling that France won because they are more clinical, particularly Sebastian Chabal who was made Man of the Match following his match winning try.

Mitch Phillips gives a good account of the match here.
Next week, the same teams meet again in Marseilles. That will be interesting.
[EDIT: Bood enjoyed watching his first game so much he's capitalising the name of the sport. Due respect for the only sport that matters, obviously./EDIT]
