    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.

      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

      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

                      The French played quite well in the second half, and made a lot of offloads which saw them running deep into the Australian defence. However, they failed to convert their occasions into points. But they still should have won this if their goalkickers had been efficient. They have put a lot of pressure on the Aussie scrum (the latter being unable to win a ball for the whole game) and their three quarters look very sharp.
                      It won't be an easy game if the All Blacks take it with a slice of complacency.

                          Wouldn't mind seeing him on bench. Also Read is carrying an injury -- I think Irish may have targeted running at him because he missed quite a few tackles and I don't recall any big hits such as in early stages of RWC final. So would like to see Luatua get some game time at 8.
                          On tackling in general, we could do with Kaino passing on some tips. He often performs a type of grabbing tackle/wrestle which when it works carries the lucky recipient back five yards. But don't remember him hitting above the shoulder much if at all.

                            Anyone got the good oil on if they are having an open training or a signing event here in Paris?

                            Wouldn't mind bringing the boy down to get a few photos.

                              Malakai has been found guilty and a 1 match ban...I expect nothing short of hang, drawn and quartered will please the Irish though

                                @pakman I'd like to see Luatua given a shot at 6 if Kaino isn't fit or off the bench in the Squire impact role just to see how he would perform in such a position.

                                          I think that is the worst AB jumper of all time ,

                                          I actually didnt think the Grey jumper was that bad until after the game , before I was ok with it ,

                                          Am i allowed to admit I actually brought one ? ( months before the WC when they were first released )

                                          Dont think i ever wore it again .
