    Dunno how France aren't down by about 30. Their fundamentals are absolutely rubbish.

    What a tackle, that was some hit on Nonu.

    I don't know how France are only ten points down, the territory must be at least 80% to New Zealand.

    Absolutely, France has lost 5 or 6 on their own throw already, shockingly bad stuff.

    78% territory for the AB's, good call.

    France will be happier with that scoreline than NZ.

    Michalak and Swarzevezesevezvski need to come off immediately.

    How there's only 10 between the teams is beyond me, completely one sided affair so far.

    PSA needs to plug several hairdryers in for the half time talk.

    France apparently spent all week working on their set-pieces... that was a waste of time.

    France poorly organised in all facets of play. Real shame PSA is in charge of this group.

    Scrum looks solid but the lineout is a shambles.

    Parra didn't travel - thigh injury. Trinh-Duc is pretty much finished with France. TB needs to establish himself as first-choice at his club before he gets a run in the national side.

    Could see that coming. If you don't get through the NZ defence at the first go you might as well give up.

    Great AB breakout try and shame about the line out, but you'd have to say the french pack are really putting it up to the AB's at the ruck/breakdown, don't know whether that's down to an AB reluctance to over-commit, but good performance form the French piano-shifters...but, well you cant give the Kiwis anything...

    Tb has pretty much played all toulons big games this season, who's the first choice scrum half if hes not?

    Michalak of course, who started the 2 knockout top 14 games and helped rescue the HC final.

    Physically they're more than a match alright.
