France v All Blacks
-
@mimic The Ireland-Aust and Wales-SA games aren't on live though. I was hoping to watch one of those before the AB test but there are only replays later in the day.
The only other live games on Sun morning are Eng-Arg and Exeter Chiefs v Worcester Warriors - WTF?
Where are you watching? Both in NZ and Australia there are more live games than EngvArg on Sunday morning; check the first post in the 2016 End-of-year internationals thread: http://www.thesilverfern.com/topic/1119/2016-end-of-year-internationals?page=1

@Stargazer I was looking at Sky TV's online TV guide. Just checking your link, their Rugby pop-up channels aren't listed on the website. Cheers.
@Bovidae That's right. If you want to check in advance, use the tv guide from Vodafone (don't forget to select your Channel Favourites): http://customerzone.vodafone.co.nz/residential/inhome/tv/tvguide/tvg-grid.cfm?v=l&d=2016-11-25&h=10&f=6&c=mychannels

the broadcasting of this tour has been a cluster fuck.

Never thought I'd say this, but I am cool with Dagg getting a start ahead of Ben Smith at fullback.
@Frank yeah me too. For the brilliance that is Ben Smith, I don't want him playing when injured.

I going to call an AB loss in this one. Based on not much; last match of the year, press distractions, gut instinct, dodgy wingers.

They're playing better, not so sure we are.

Wallabies just played a B team against them and won fairly easily. The scoreline flattered the French.
I'd be severely disappointed if we dropped this one.

@Rapido didnt you also say both Whitelock and BBBR shouldnt play last week?
No, just Whitelock.
Would have played bbbr , but been concerned.
But, yeah. That st least had some 'reason' behind that feeling. This almost pure hunch. Plus I almost always over rate France.

Eh? I thought a couple of very poor non-calls by Hometown right at the death robbed France of kicking to win the test match.
France will try and play at pace with plenty of offloads. I think we need to be a little more patient than we have shown on this tour so far and the oppprtunities will come.

That would be quite a points turnaround from the last time we played them.
They do have a habit of dramatically making up those points blow outs

I was surprised to read how poor France's record vs NZ is in Paris. They've won more games vs the ABs in the UK in the last 50 years. :fingers_crossed:

Australia won fairly easily, by 25-23? I didn't see the game, but media reports suggest France missed an injury time drop goal.
That's a pretty loose definition of "won fairly easily".
