Eden Park has sold out but still tickets available in Wellington & Dunedin where they're installing temporary seating to lift capacity to ~28K. Extra seats are at the end which is normally empty & used for the stage & set when it's being used for concerts etc.

Moses Mackay is best Moses. Needs to always do the anthem instead of some OTT Soprano.

5-0 France.

8-3 France, A. Smith done for back chat. Don't mind this English ref, talks in French to the France as well.

Ref has been good but just outed himself as a graduate of the French school of refereeing.....

The biased NZ commentators are cringeworthy.....loved them giving it to French for their costly handling errors then one of them noticed sheepishly that the ABs had made twice as many! Are Hamish and Andy providing commentary via the radio, would be much better!

Smithy and Marshall are horrendous. Can't believe we had to watch the Barrett try from 5 millions angles and talk up every AB on the field.

Nesbit is just as bad

One of the worst halves I've seen from NZ for a while. They are badly missing a few big bodies to punch forward in attack.

Not a surprise when Luke Whitelock -- a very good defensive blindside -- is at #8. At the very least Squire should've been #8.

Need to get Laumape out there in the centres soon. ALB has looked average.

Japan beat Italy 34-17

The all blacks cannot leave the line out until it ends

 

[Up the Guts]

1. Make your test debut
2. Utterly wreck top tier opposition scrum in your very first play
3. Do it all while rocking the greatest mo to grace a sports field since Merv Hughes retired

Big Karl has reached front-row apotheosis. Just retire. You can achieve no more.

Does Scott Barrett ever stand onside in an attacking rucks do refs know that there are 2 offside lines at rucks for the unbound to stand behind?

Squirie's should not be playing and the fact that he is shows how grubby the All Black administration is.
