RWC: All Blacks - France (24-09-2011, 15:30)

[Magricos]

Brilliant try.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

France unlucky not to get the call for the tackle in the air ... NZ counter for the try ... going to be a tough game this.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Oof, that's all it takes for the ABs

First attack and they get a try - at least the conversion was missed

 

[Magricos]

I have a feeling France will cause an upset.

 

[Bluemoon]

Great break by Nonu. ABs are all about the lightening quick counter attack. Traille should have done better.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How come Franks doesn't have to stay on his feet at the ruck?
He just dives over then lies on the wrong side

Most rucks you see this is the case and nothing is done by the referee's.

 

[TNT88]

Brilliant x100

 

[Magricos]

The defence was pathetic there.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bloody hell, France getting pumped

 

[callsign.springbok]

rucking laws aren't really applied to the all blacks. especially when they're playing at home and feel they 'deserve' to win.

bit of a moot point today when everything is going pete tong for the french anyway. rolland must be relieved he won't have to let any all black 'innovations' slide to keep the nz public and irb happy

 

[i tickle ur tum]

rout on the way im afraid...

 

[Bluemoon]

Great finishing from NZ, but the french defence is absolutely awful. Fueling rumours of throwing the game?

Cool story bro!

 

[callsign.springbok]

coolest story i ever heard was andrew mehrtens saying "A rugby world cup in NZ is like going to church on a Sunday and finding God Himself in the pulpit delivering the sermon"

I guess we won't have to struggle anymore trying to describe the supreme arrogance of nz rugby! it's all there from the horse's mouth

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I'm starting to really dislike NZ as players

It's annoying as they play incredibly good rugby, but sometimes when I watch them play I'm just thinking "Someone shoe him" "Kick him" etc.

Jerome Kaino, for example, used to be one of my favourite players, can't stand him now, seems like a proper d***head on the pitch

 

[Aout]

There's some ref calls I really can't understand...

You are going to incur the wrath of the NZ members

 

[Bluemoon]

There seems to be alot going at the breakdown in terms of off feet and slight side entry are not being as heavily penalised for either team at the moment. Tackler not releasing and ball placement is most heavily refereed. In fact has this been a trend for the WC so far?

Well done.
