Match Commentary

83'		Thank you and good night.
82'		Martyn Thomas' full-time verdict: "In the end the record books will record this game as a rout for France. But for an hour that could not have been further from the truth. Indeed boos rang out from a record Stadium MK crowd as man of the match Freddie Michalak lined up a 59th minute penalty. It was a sign of the fright Canada had given Les Bleus, and an admission from skipper Thierry Dusautoir that the game was not won. The Canucks would get no closer than they had been at 24-18, and once France finally returned to their line-out to secure their bonus-point try. After replacement Nanyak Dala had been sin binned they added a fifth. Canada will rue not having TMO Graham Hughes on their side but a boisterous crowd will go home knowing they got value for money. France will have to step it up in defence if they are to match Ireland on Oct. 11."
81'		Thanks for joining us tonight. Full time report will be online soon and there's more action to come tomorrow and over the whole weekend...
