RWC QF 2 NZ v FRA (Millenium Stadium) 18th Oct 0600 AEDT

[Dewald Nel]

Picamoles in trouble.

 

[Chunderstruck]

By geez, it doesn't take much for the pathetic ones to show their faces does it? Cassius and Chunderstruck you are embarrassments!

The Rules

1. Be respectful to posters, players, coaches and match officials.

 

[BabyBlueElephant]

Well done France. You were back in the game and you do that. Pathetic

 

[maxdacat]

let's face it we've all wanted to do it at some stage

 

[Hugh Jarse]

GOAT down. Copping a little sly jab from Picamoles. Nothing to see here that doesn't happen 200 times a week. Weak card.

That'll take the fizz out of the Chateau '99 Champagne comeback.

 

[JJJ]

Idiot

 

[mxyzptlk]

If the French aren't grabbing someone's ass, they're fisting.

 

[Pedrolicus]

McCaw should be yellowed for needing a trainer for that. Then he's magically healed when they send it to the tmo.

 

[Dewald Nel]

Penalty was already theirs. Absolutely no need for that.

 

[JJJ]

If you're gonna do it at least put some nelly in it.

Hahaha settle down champ. Your boys have been all over the French and showing some real intensity and flair for the first time this tournament. Am I not allowed to make an observation at odds to your world view without being lambasted? I mean it's not like I made some unintelligible attack on everything All Black.

These are discussion boards, are they not?

 

[Dewald Nel]

I'm already scared for next week. This is the All Blacks peaking at the right time. We'll have to outperform ourselves to get close.

But that's what makes rugby great.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Shag Hanson has applied the cruise control button to Team NZ as he pulls C. Smith off early.

53 minutes and only 47 points.

 

[Bullrush]

Not sure what that has to do with what i said. I'm not doubting that NZ have been the much better team tonight.

That turnover by NZ at 43mins is exactly what I was talking about. NZ pilfered while France never had a chance to contest the ruck due to the position of the NZ tackler.

When you are coming in that hard and fast and driving attacking players back, there are times you will end up on on the wrong side. I've actually noticed the ABs working hard to get out of the way.

And French players making no effort to enter rucks correctly and coming straight in from the side.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

How good is it to hear the neutrals in the crowd sing something other than a Negro Spiritual song about a Bloke in his chariot on the way home in the Jordan Valley?

I've got no issue with where they end up after making the tackle. It's the fact that the NZ support should not be allowed a go at the ball while there is no clear route to the ruck for the French support.

To your second point, just because I make comment on something I believe to be a NZ infringement, doesn't automatically mean I think the French are saints. A few too many Black knights on here ready to draw swords at the slightest word against their team.

 

[Quick Hands]

Fat lady singing, ABs are home here.

 

[Cassius88]

Never mind that McCaw played the man in the air...

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The Number 11 Bus delivers passenger Gilbert to centrefield again, as I begin to regret changing my SuperBru margin down from NZL by 29, to NZL by 15 on the back of all the mutinous talk coming out of the French Camp.

54 points after 62 minutes. Team NZL cruising.

Too many chickens to count now.
