RWC Week 1: France v All Blacks

[Steven Harris]

Honey Hireme picking the French to win on the Sky build up show , unlikely ever to be invited back given the fan boy and girl nature of their rugby coverage ..love a bit of honesty

[sparky]

@Tim Don’t think I have been this pumped for a game since the 2015 final or the 2011 final or the 1995 Semi against England.

I am enjoying that our boys are going to war against a fucking good side in what will be this evening, in many ways, an absolute cauldron.

@game_film probably already packed his bag for where ever tasman are playing this weekend

[Steve]

Ok Ian, time to open up that barrel of dry powder.

[Steve]

Fancy Dalton for a MOTM performance. Go on my son.

[Tim]

Sennheiser HD650 headphones on, big night on, NZ domination on. Let's go!

If the pack can front, that will give us a chance

[canefan]

Oh we're saved, DC is here. Oh wait.....

[MN5]

Is it too early to start drinking ?

Hmmmm, it’s a nice day in Welly and I have chores to do later, I might stick to coffee

[sparky]

Why is DC bringing out the Webb Ellis trophy and not a Saffa as they’re the holders?

[canefan]

Maybe he's an ambassador

@sparky said in RWC: France v All Blacks:

Because he is DC. Most marketable rugby player ever on a global scale I'd say?

[Bones]

Gotta love Fozzie logic

[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.
