[RWC2023] France vs New Zealand (08/09/2023)

[IT157]

I have a feeling there will a red card for France, and New Zealand will win by a couple of points.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Hope France win tomorrow so everyone sees what I see when it comes to NZ.

If NZ win just wait until the QFs.

If they win that, just wait til the final.

If they win that, just wait until the first game they lose in 2024, then you'll all look like idiots.

Here we are.

If they send off a French player in the opening game the yellow vest protest will look like a old folks book club. Paris will be on fire.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

I cannot ******* wait for this. If the WC goes the way I want it to it should be fun

 

[Brigantine]

It should be fun regardless of which way it goes.

NZ to concede a YC & penalty try, find themselves 2 scores behind, but catch up in the last 10 minutes and win

What? No. The ABs to be beaten soundly despite a nervy French performance in the first 60 mins

Haven't seen this French team being very nervy. The all blacks on the other hand.

From the recent games against Scotland France are worse on the second half

 

[ShropshireAllBlack]

I haven't been paying attention, so I have just realised that Karl Dickson is officiating tonight. It has suddenly become a lottery in my mind.

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

What do Newzealand fans think of Anton Lienert-Brown? What are his strengths and weaknesses? Would he have got anywhere near an all blacks team of the 90s and noughties?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Can't wait for the French anthem. How will the crowd respond to the Haka? I hope they play horns.

Hope they release a cockerel onto the pitch

 

[Summer Rose]

Come on, just two and a half more hours.

 

[Which Tyler]

Old, but worth repeating

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Waiting at my local Irish pub here in Oslo for the game to start - bunch of big Kiwi blokes in the crowd here, haha

 

[Astrodragon]

Am I the only one to think 'most bizarre Rugby opening ceremony ever' ? What have the presenters been smoking??

[General Melchett]

Is that Hask at the front right?
