[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1201512, member: 45598"] Loved that game last night, don't know how France got the win while being dominated at the breakdown. I think NZ proved more in that game than last week despite the loss and I'll admit I was wrong in thinking Razor wouldn't adapt to the international game. It's weird to see them not beijg able to break down defences with great back play, it's generally individual brilliance, but they're probably a proper 10 and a good 13 away from fighting SA (and I suspect soon France) for the world number one spot and the 10 they need will be back from Japan before long. France are just class, they looked absolutely hopeless for the first 30mins and totally gassed for the last 15 but were unplayable inbetween. I reckon they run up a bit of a score v Argentina next week and it's hard to see beyond a grand slam. It felt like they beat a 9/10 NZ performance with a 7/10 performance themselves yesterday. Dupont feels like the sort of player who can just make what he wants happen for him and his team, they're my early pick for 2027. [/QUOTE]
