    @Bones said in France:

    IIRC, Crotty looked to be running about pretty freely in the warm up/down in Italy. Is his a concussion issue?

    Calf wasn't it? Good news then.

    Crotty ALB in the midfield.

    Now, do you change the policy of having two guys in the back three that can act as fullback? It has worked very well for us and was shown up in Chicago when we changed from that.

    If you want the two fullback thing then, given the available cattle, it's either Dagg/BB with Cruden at 10, or Dagg/DMac with BB at 10

    the two most egregious,

    Oh puhlease.

    You mean the two that have have been committed by the murderous most tweeted about most publicized nasty fuckstick All Black offensive incidents?

    THE most egregious was Sexton on Barrett where he went DELIBERATLY (did I spell that correctly?) for the head.

    You claim to be "neutral" and I make a "joke" about non-AB fans being haters. But you perpatuate bullshit like that and "joke" is reality.

    Fuck it's about time Sopoaga got a chance I reckon. He's stepped up whenever asked and has looked right at home.

    It was a hamstring injury.

    Well he was running around playing some kicking game with BB and TJP so I would assume he wouldn't be doing that if his hamstring was still a major issue.

    I'm really surprised they are going with that away strip

    at least it's not grey

    It is still very ordinary though and why introduce it right before a match with France...

    I suspect Adidas had something to do with it.....

    Given the strip France wore against the Wallabies which was the same design as the alternate AB strip, this will be a marketing dream for the three stripes.

    I quite like the new design, it has a stylish element to it. I would buy one at the right price.

    Is the jersey black and white or black and silver? I don't really like it, I prefer the classic.

    It reminds me of another alternate jersey

    By 'the classic' do you mean the plain white one?

    It's impressive to fuck up the placement of the silver fern on an AB jersey. It looks awful.

    Stylish? Would you wear it with your crocs? 🙂

    I think it looks dated

    Not sure who is available or who they might need on the bench with a few missing, thought they might give the player of the year a rest and go with Sopoaga/Cruden, Dagg fullback? France looked awful against the Aussies from what I saw.

    Black and white. There's a picture of Read holding one earlier in the thread.

    It looks terrible. Reminds me of those Blues jerseys that made it look like they were wearing bibs over their shirts.

    That's quite a nice haircut that Read has.

    I assume they were told to look tough to try and take away from how gay the shirt is.

    I've been trying to work out where i have seen these shirts before and have finally clicked.

    I have a Ping armless golf jumper with the exact diagonals/daimonds. I'm going to post a photo when I get home.

    Rory and Jordan might be seen wearing that top on the PGA I reckon

    Love the new away strip for France. Actually like playing France full stop. Their media are never on NZ witch hunts like what the home nations are. Still don't think came should have been cited but maybe I'm just blinded by being a kiwi.

    A few years back Serge Blanco went full retard in the media about us playing players who were born overseas. The french great was himself of course born in Venezuela alt text
