[QUOTE="ssera, post: 152803"] I'm French and I must say I was sitting on the edge of my seat for the entire match. New Zealand are just an awesome team to play against - I probably lose a few stones just watching them play (never mind against France! :P) but - and perhaps they're starting to emulate us, by becoming "predictably unpredictable"? Putting aside all the controversy of forward pass/harsh yellow card etc - this was one of the tensest matches I've seen in a long long time. I couldn't believe that we managed to hold on to a slim 2 point lead with NZ camping out in the French 22 for almost the last 10 minutes of the game. I can not even begin to explain why an attempt at a drop goal wasn't made sooner - you couldn't really have asked for a better position. Fate? Overall fantastic game though, I really feel for the NZ fans & teams, you guys really have an awesome team and they deserve all the support they get. I hope you have better luck in 4 years time when playing on your own soil. For now though it's time to concentrate on the next match aginst age old rivals England :box: [/QUOTE]
