[TRF Mr Fish]

alright, this is it !! When I wake up, some result will be waiting for me online !!........YIIIKESS !!!!!!!....

ALLEZ LES BLEUS !!!!!!

Don't you have access to the games?

 

[Big Ewis]

Don't you have access to the games?

through the internet, yes. But it's too early for me, I'm an insomniac !! (no jk )

EDIT: I'm not making fun of your smiley by replicating it, it's just a very tough condition !!...

But anyways: pleaaaaaase suck a bit NZ, come on !!..........COME ON ?!!!

 

[Aedaphon]

I'm still bitter than Trinh-Duc isn't on this tour. F*** PSA.

Anyway, France have a decent team out there but you need more than decent to go up (and win) against the All Blacks. The French forwards will give NZ a good run about but I think the AB backline is too slick to be stopped by a relatively inexperienced French backline.

I am looking forward to Fofana utterly outshowing Nonu though

 

[Draggs]

Half hour to go, looking forward to this. Bound to be a better test than what some of us just witnessed.

"French rugby is like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get next" - Actually, Mr Commentator, its because the selection is currently being done by a retard...

He's talking about how they play, not who their players are.

Really like Read I have to say seems really humble and of course a brilliant player.

 

[Tony Manx]

Really like Read I have to say seems really humble..........

I agree, for a Kiwi...............

Think this could be a really good game with the lack of many of the regulars from the Blacks and a pretty heavyweight looking French pack..I agree with Ieuan Evans, for a change, in that the half backs for France have to have some game to make the team tick and could be seriously shown up if not.

Guess the AB's will do it but not by much, although the French heads may drop late on and alter that!

Pretty excited about this one. Having a great day, watched high school 1st XV rugby, followed by under 20s, followed by senior As, then home for a feed and now getting ready for this one, followed by the lions v reds. God saturdays are good days.

Yep Rugby and beer, it's a perfect combination

 

[Tony Manx]

Allez Les Blues......ps they won the battle of the anthems!!!

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

The French ALWAYS win the battle of the anthems.

And most of the time NZ lose Terrible anthem.

 

[ZeFrenchy]

Domingo what a player.

Edit: Why did the crowd boo the drop goal attempt?

 

[big ginger 8]

New Zealanders really hate drop kicks.

I do like the Italian one though!!

Thought drop attempt the right choice and tyoical Kiwi booing!!

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Bloody Kiwis booing drop goals... The general rugby public in NZ is quite stupid - though that's probably the case everywhere!

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

That looked like a completely intentional knock down. Should've been a penalty.

 

[Tony Manx]

Mainly because they ony understand running rugby except when Carter drops a goal when it is perfectly OK!!

 

[big ginger 8]

France definitely got the shove there. Good bust by Nonu thought it was a deliberate knockdown as well.

EDIT

What a try!

Allez les Bleus!
