Good start by France that!
Pointless yawn fest. Can we have some rugby now?
You're just jealous flashie, as the Welsh version would involve 8 pints of brains, a Tom Jones song and the throwing of kebabs 😆
just told my three year old son that he could play for France, England or Ireland. He replies that he want to play for Ulster. 😕
Oh dear. 🙂
Grrrr glitch
Are the ABs off their feet at every bloody breakdown?!
Bump
****yglitchycocky****ybumpy.
Yes, Darcy.

Bonjour le clubber.

The French learned how to play? Let's see if they (both teams) keep it up as the pressure builds.

Mccaw....deliberate?
Bonjour mon chéri.
france PLV
Looked like he dropped the knee to me. Prick.
AB's always have been dirty bastards
get in, that should settle the nerves a bit.
Always like a props try, though!
merde
Ah bollocks.
NZ got another contender for the 100m in the Olympics?
buggeur
nice set piece though
Shittyhell! I agree with dayglo!
Why no replay of Mccaw's knee to the head?
As a friend just said, looking at what Lawes was cited for, you have to wonder what he'll get. Except he won't.
There was a moment there when he was at the wrong side of a ruck. I wish the French had known what he'd done. 🙂
Are their any fly halves left in NZ?
I assume the French will learn about McCheat at half time. I expect him to get a bit of a shoeing for that......
Deliberate from McCaw? I don't think so but would like to see another replay or two.
Deliberate probably not intentional but i wouldn't be surprised if he was dragging the knee into the body and caught the head by accident. ABs off teh feet a lot and had a few lucky breaks.
No 7 on the wrong side again.
Keep an eye on McCheat's feet. The Blue will go for them every time.
Dayglo making very valid point re NZ getting 'easier' reffing......
French 6 on his feet over the ball, so why no penalty for holding on?
I think France would have taken this at half time.
Ohi, see above re dayglo's comments....
Allez les Bleus
did you know I had a french ancestor?
C'mon NZ, let's keep the Cup in the Southern Hemisphere please...

The only person doing any surrendering that I've seen so far has been Piri Weepu....

Judging by the whining and moaning you always do on here, I doubt this surprises anyone... 😉

Sadly, I agree... 🙁
No mention of the knee yet......
FFS ITV - I do NOT need to watch a horrible knee injury in slo-mo umpteen times!
Intriguing half. France defending well but will actually need to score some points! 50/50 decisions do seem to be mostly going to the Kiwis.

McCheat's knee not even mentioned at ht.....
Same old, same old. Who is this gltchybump dude you're all cheering for?
NZ's fifth fly-half...
So French have (so far) brought some determination, decent ball retention and good defence... unpredictable as ever, le bastards!
HIGH!!!!
Indeed. A head tackle, no penalty.....
As Dayglo said, decisions seem to be favouring NZ.....
Wonder whose shirt Mr. Donald borrowed 🙂
maybe NZ have rewitten rule book in their to help them win
😯
YES YES
Game on 🙂
Oui!
Game even more on! Woo!
Oh dear, French hooker almost blew that! Poor play from Wipu caused it, who'da thunk?
ALLEZ!!
How do you say "sur le votre" in Kiwi?
¡Mange tout! 👿
Ok, time to bring on Sonny Bill.
Again High
Another high tackle!
Joubert looking for a free holiday later in the year. Lamb as opposed to foi gras.
isn't it time for some kiwi choking? 😉 I'd have rather France were a little further behind at half time to get l'enfer going. The scene's set pretty perfectly for an interesting last qtr though.
some awful kicking going on. is it the ball?
Awesome take from traille.
Do France still have a chance? Reckon they've thrown away a few too many opportunities myself, but I guess never say never...
How many high tackles? FFS!

Baptism of fire or what?
Are you allowed to try and move the man with your boot?
Damn.
