France/USA warm-up to be streamed live

[Harrigan]

Good try by the French. Should be 14-10 going into the half.

 

[Storm13]

12-10 France ktc

 

[Evil Homer]

10-4 USA - 30 mins

Not overly impressed by either team TBF. The standard isn't great. It reminds me of a lower half SL game, you know, like Salford v Wakefield or something like that.

Not that bad really considering USA will be the weakest side at the WC and are missing probably their three best players.

Do you think it's better than the standard I mentioned then?

It's been entertaining in parts but France will have to improve a hell of a lot if they want to beat Samoa or PNG.

It's a shame the commentators don't seem to know the difference between américain (a continental identity since l'Amérique is a continent) and états-unien.

Doesn't falsify anything they have said though.

No, you were about right. But if that's the lowest standard in the WC then that's not too bad, especially compared to the World Cups of other sports where there are always some awful teams.

 

[JasonE]

France are looking much better now Pellissier is on, my stream was hard to watch too so i changed the quality and it improved.

 

[Storm13]

Are the union player/'s playing for the USA?

 

[Harrigan]

Oh yeah, I agree totally. Just you'd expect France to be better than that. Let's see how they go though.

 

[Bovrick]

Jesus that last try was soft. A lot of work to be done in defence for France

 

[Storm13]

USA for the win

 

[kiwileaguefan]

gee not impressed with France...think they are going to get hammered by the Kiwis and wont get past Samoa or PNG.

 

[Boston13s]

Are the union player/'s playing for the USA?

Andrew Durutalo and Luke Hume both pulled out through injury.

 

[Storm13]

The French should cancel all their games as that was embarrassing. Congrats USA

 

[deluded pom?]

I can't see either of them worrying any of the other teams on that showing.

 

[JasonE]

USA defended well and completed their sets quite well, France have no idea how to build pressure.
I think Bosc could lose his spot, Fages & Gigot would probably be my 7 & 6.

does anyone have the team lineups? i think usa rested pettybourne and newton? but that was pretty much a full strength french squad tbh i think the us have a chance against scotland and wales, not sure if they can get past the cook islands though cant wait for the wc to start!

[natheel]

Who was a standout for USA? Did mcgoldrick play?
