[callsign.springbok]

well done to standing up to the Haka! allez les bleus!

 

[Gavin]

IRB will most likely fine the French team now

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Questionable call for the penalty - McCaw was kneeling on the floor, that's "on his knees" not "on his feet"

 

[Seaton]

Brilliant defence by the All Blacks so far, not a lot of penetration by France.

 

[Anon E-Mouse]

Total respect to the French for accepting the haka challenge .

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Would've backed Weepu to make that kick earlier

 

[callsign.springbok]

just as Quade kneed McCaw! Cheap shot by McCaw!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

All Blacks getting away with murder today, Jane has made two penalty infringements (early tackle forcing a knockon and taking the man out in the air) alone so far

Just seen that too. That tackle shows that Parra has no problem taking on the big lads - then McCaw comes in to clear out parras face with his knee

Exactly my thoughts. Also McCaw has been doing some dirty dealings at the breakdown. Sorry to see Parra go off.

 

[Seaton]

Now that my friends, is a true example of the parting of the Red Sea.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Great try by Woodcock - split the lineout and just walk it in

Pressure on France now to get some points on the board

 

[Gavin]

Just imagine the odd you would have got for Tony Woodcock to be first try scorer

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Another penalty gone begging on the high ball then - Sure you're not allowed to just push the man out of the way in the air to win the ball?

 

[Calidris]

The best referee of the world ? Lol. I understand why all blacks love him...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

and that's a France penalty in the scrum

Wwwwhhhhaaaaattttssssss going on?!

 

[Gavin]

Wwwwhhhhaaaaattttssssss going on?!

It's a conspiracy

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Joubert probably bricking it because he'd have 4.4m Kiwis after him if France were to win :lol:

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How come when Parra stepped offside but then back on, ABs got a penalty, but Read just went offside and then back on but nothing?

 

[Calidris]

Para out................. Nice play Mc Caw, you made your job !!!!!!

I hope the french present Jeubert with a blacks jersey after the match, he might as well be wearing one.
