RWC Week 1: France v All Blacks

[sparky]

@frugby Maybe I’m a traditionalist but I think it should be a South African as holders or a Frenchman as hosts bringing the Webb Ellis trophy out.

Black boots. Business time.
It's business, it's business time

Do we know what injury Cane picked up? Kaino is in France btw.

[taniwharugby]

So if BR can come off the bench, surely he can start...unfortunately exposes the poor decision around lock/loosie subs.

In terms of balance, this loose trio looks better, they just need to do it

[Stockcar86]

Ready

[Victor Meldrew]

Right. Pint by my chair, Mrs M under orders to say nothing for 90 minutes.

Let's go.

Getting a bit teary about God Defend New Zealand being played out in Saint Denis.

[No Quarter]

The choir for the national anthems is a great idea

[canefan]

After all his injuries I hope Anton can do the business. It will give us a legitimate second option to JB. Richie GOAT is there too. Could have suited him and Jerome up

[chimoaus]

Fucken put Richie, DC and Kaino out there.

[sparky]

O and the French have their song too.

[Mattasaurus]

Not convinced with Tupou Vaa'i - hope he plays the house down!!! (line out looks better with him though)

[SidBarret]

The ABs look unfocused in the build up

That Charlie Ngatai was a useful player...

Anthems need music

[nzzp]

Superb anthems - love the choir

[chimoaus]

Losing your Captain will have some impact.

[sparky]

Haka time.

[chimoaus]

Fuck it seems loud in there.
