Ratellick makes good for the last play with a chargedown and opening meat pie. Not many would have had money on him to open the Pie Shop.

Doesn't look good for the Froggie 10.

The obsession to be as black as is so strong in Team NZ that I am left wondering why haven't Team NZ approached Elastoplast for some black strapping tape for their lineout jumpers legs, and head tape for others?

Meanwhile the Number 11 Bus has delivered passenger Gilbert to the centre of the field under Les Frogges goal posts.

That's 30 points in 30 minutes. Just like an NRC game, it's point a minute.

Fun fact: The All Blacks led 24-10 at one stage in the second half in 1999. The French won that one 43-31.

Slightly different French teams. I don't see this team -- used to the slug and grind of the T14 -- being able to replicate the silliness of 1999.

EDIT: Meanwhile, this AB's team is far superior to the 1999 rabble. As they just demonstrated, again.

All I'm saying is don't count any chickens just yet.
