Will the Woolshed be open at that hour? Coverage starts at 8.30am, guessing k.o. is at 9am. Correct me if im wrong but pubs cant serve alcohol until 11am.

Sky Sports 1 are showing it live.

Yes, they're always open for the early games

Noffles

Hopefully France kick their Ass!!

davyjose

Are Ireland playing the AB's this year, because it really would be a good chance to break that duck. New Zealand look reasonable against a not-great France. If we had our full team playing well, we'd beat this All Blacks side.

Try France - 8-3

Edit: Conversion made: 10-3

eagle eye

New Zealand are all over the place. I don't think I've ever seen an All Blacks team look so disorganised. They could well win it yet and get it right but they look terribly amateurish at the moment.

davyjose

Great Try by france there.

17-3 .... Conversion Made. Nice kicking by Dupuy on his debut.

themont85

Great play Cowen, fine scrummie. \try NZ; Messum, no 8. Donald misses converstion.

17-11 HT

gosplan

You always got the feeling that if NZ cut out the errors, France could be in trouble.

17-11 to France, hopefully they can put up a fight against the inevitable juggernaught that's coming in the second half. Should be good either way though.

davyjose

Half time 17-11 France. A penalty and late unconverted Try by the All Blacks. Silly by France really - they'll probably lose a match they should win now.

The All Blacks still have the ability to pounce on the slightest lack of concentration, which in itself is quite impressive. Otherwise they've been rubbish.

awhir

cmon france , its good to see the all blacks getting a beating !

that french number 8 has some speed

gosplan

Shocking first try to conceed by the way, like 4 missed tackles or something. Last two guys took each other out, comical sort of.

Yeah totally agree. They have all the talent and really you just know if the play 40 minutes of organised rugby they will destroy France but they make so many basic errors in the first half, and when France challenged them at the breakdown their whole line seemed to get out of sync for some reason.

themont85

One thing I noticed was the very poor body positions of NZ. Around the tackle and the rucks they are just way to high. I had never saw such poor technique by an All Black team.

GymJim

French backrow is looking awesome

Corey Jane looks like a class player also. Remember him from the Munster game really seems like the next guy to break into the NZ team proper. Is it just me or does Donald not really convince as an OH?!

gosplan

Some serious French defending here.

oops, penalty

gosplan

Here comes Chabal!

If he can't make a difference in the physical confrontation here, he's officially good for nothing.

GymJim

Oh no not Chabal...is Lievremont serious?! And in the 2nd row too

Ye I agree. He's good in the S14, but this is obviousely a step up. McAllister is still a better option at 10 if he comes on there.

GymJim

Surely McAllister on soon?! Would defo be better option than Donald kicking wise and would get AB's on front foot with his passing and physicality

themont85

Who's the Irish ref. He got a serious amount of abuse from the comms for his performance at scrum time.

How did they not score :eek:

Donald was haunted there to get that penalty. He could have been blown for holding in front of posts...still not impressing me!

Big gap between Carter, Evans (when he returns), McAllister...and Donald. The OH for Baby Balcks last year should come through in the next year or so and he is awesome. Anyone know his name?

themont85

Beaut of a penalty from Depuy, 20-17 to the French. Jauzion on.

thomond2006

Allez les bleus et blancs!!!

Dupuy pen

20 - 17 to France! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

McAlister's on the bench - really don't get why he's still there. Donald's having a poor game.

davyjose

Yes!!!! 27-17, game over???

McAllister's on at 12 for at least 5 mins at this stage

thomond2006

Medard intercept try. Under the posts.

Game Over.

YESSSS!!!!! :D:D:D

NZ commentators lol.

****, France were 11/2!!!

themont85

Wow, intercept for the French. Madard

27-17 to France!

gosplan

Sacre Blue!!!!

French defence deserved that really.

GymJim

Can't defend McAllister there though...far too flat. Medard didn't even really have to even try intercept that.

Sorry, yeah I saw him there at that try. Missed him come on. Should be at Fly-half IMO.

thomond2006

Jaysus, I can't wait for Ireland vs France in Paris in 6N 2010!!

****, Nonu try checked by TMO. Looks a cert though.

Try Given, Donald is beyond sh1te with the boot.

Pity we ain't playing them this summer.

Try NZ - Game on.

themont85

Try Nonu. 27-22.

Conversion to come.

Oh what an ending we've got!

gosplan

Bah, Nonu - total rugby leaguer!!

GymJim

Seriously why do they keep letting Donald kick. Surely McAllister should have taken the conversion...tough kick I know but at least let your best kicker on the pitch take it.

thomond2006

Great tackle. What a performance.

davyjose

Why are France constantly kicking the ball? Surely now is the time to retain possession?
