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

With a tackle like that, Pape must still be in pain from that gut-shot.

 

[Chunderstruck]

All I'm saying is don't count any chickens just yet.

I counted my chickens when Michalak went off, and they remain counted

 

[Quick Hands]

ABs looking good. How fast is this game?

 

[Pedrolicus]

Try time France

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Gotta be a try for "Les Rouges".


... And it is. The Scoreboard Attendant is being kept busy. 37 points in 36 minutes.

Only 1 scrum so far IIRC.

 

[Dewald Nel]

One try does not a summer make. But it makes it more interesting at least.

Another try for the French now and you may need to start re-counting.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Fuck me. Lomu just came out of retirement.

 

[Dewald Nel]

Lol. Never mind.

Brilliant power from Savea.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The Number 11 Bus from Downtown Porirua delivers passenger Gilbert across the line again.

Who was it that posted that RWC QF onward games would be tough dour arm wrestles?

It is Oranges and there have been 42 points scored. 4T to 1T to The Darkness.

 

[Bullrush]

The All Black intensity is immense...

 

[mxyzptlk]

Three upper-body, league-like tackles on a rampaging Savea. Wonder why those didn't work.

 

[Pedrolicus]

That half had as much action as two whole games.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Time for some 1999 vintage Champage with the half time oranges from Les "Rouges".

You know you have it in yourself. You've done it before. Make a game of it you buggers. The die is cast for history to repeat itself, once again, just like it did last time.

 

[saulityvi]

Where is @Dismal Pillock, still hiding in his dungeons and waiting for the worst to happen?

 

[Quick Hands]

Fantastic half of rugby. Only 1 scrum.

Imagine if PSA had instilled some game plan or structure in this French team over the past 4 years.

I'd much prefer a mid-1940 French effort, myself. Just had the opening Blitzkreig, now for the collapse.....

 

[BabyBlueElephant]

Individual brilliance of NZ is destroying Frances poor defence. Smith, Carter, Savea and Skudder are just too much.

 

[JJJ]

I'm expecting the alternative French flag to be run up shortly into the 2nd half.
