So, it's 18 points, then. If Wales lose by 19, it stands to reason that they'll be behind France on tries (11 each at present), so 18 is the magic number. Surely a Shaun Edwards-coached side can't leak that badly?It's kind of a shame that the Six Nations scoring system allows for such a potential anticlimax; once before (1994) Wales lifted the trophy after losing the final game, and there's nothing like it for turning a triumph into an embarrassment. By any rational analysis, winning this tournament would be (dare we say "has been"?) a remarkable feat of resurrection from the cold ashes of RWC2007; but it won't feel that way if Wales lose the game by the odd score tomorrow.
Ah well; all the more reason to go out and beat France, I suppose. But how annoying that they seem to have brought their real team this time. Rotten spoilsports!
