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

[ntun82]

I wish I had been born with such enthusiasm and optimism. Have you hit the grappa early?

That said, Peyper reffing two of the more attack orientated sides should guarantee open play and tries.

I was obviously ironico.
Still regretting the Scotland game in 2007, this year we have no chance to get through the First group

That was quick

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Pass to Rieko looked pretty forward to me.

 

[Gavin]

Jeez

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Ahh ********.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Well Shaun Edward's defence held for all lf 40 seconds. Very happy with my prediction that France are going to implode in this tournment (although I would like them to get at least to a semi).

 

[AlRums]

Embarrassing start for France

 

[Reiser99]

Well now...

 

[ThebigARena]

Didn't expect this so early goddam it

 

[ThebigARena]

I do find it very hard to support NZ and Aus when they have the owners stamp in the corner of their flags.

Ouch

Beauden with a Russell esque cross field kick

 

[General Melchett]

Backlash after that Boks pumping.

Crowd silenced early doors

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

The pitch doesn't look any better than OK, if that, which is a bit disappointing.

If it was Russell esque it would have gone out on the full

 

[General Melchett]

That's the old Russell. You've clearly not seen him play lately.

Most overrated assistant coach? I'm sure he wouldn't get as much love if he didn't have a constant scowl on his face

 

[ThebigARena]

Played the ball took the man

 

[Lé Ddanno]

A NZ forward pass spotted?!!!

 

[ThebigARena]

Most overrated assistant coach? I'm sure he wouldn't get as much love if he didn't have a constant scowl on his face

Nah

To be fair it's easy to unlock a defence when you get away with forward passes
