Can't wait. Think France win comfy with Dupont back and the mileage on NZ but the skill level of this match is generally the best you'll see at international level.Always a match I'll make the effort to watch.
I remember you saying that with regard to the Ireland game, yet the final result (which flattered your side) proved you were wrong .Can't wait. Think France win comfy
Yep I got it wrong. We had a bad day and France are better than us.I remember you saying that with regard to the Ireland game, yet the final result (which flattered your side) proved you were wrong .
I hope Razor steps in and put the back row pieces where they belong naturally, namely Finau at 6, Savea at 7 and Sititi at 8.
I would also pick Jordan at 14 and place BB at 15, with Perofeta on the bench (I don't think Sevu Reece could handle the right wing properly).
Despite what I read on this forum since July, NZ style of play under Razor is developing quite well and the best is yet to come.
You didn't, NZ beat Ireland fair and square in the RWC 2023 as well, albeit with a stronger squad, experience wise, than Razor's.Yep I got it wrong. We had a bad day and France are better than us.
Ireland didn't have an off day?. That's a load of rubbish. That was the worst Irish performance since 2019/20 and any top international team would have beaten them on Friday. The RWC QF last year between the two was an epic game of the highest calibre, the game last week was very mediocre in terms of skill level.You didn't, NZ beat Ireland fair and square in the RWC 2023 as well, albeit with a stronger squad, experience wise, than Razor's.
Let's see how the game unfolds, for NZ is has become crucial it seems to have all their players on the pitch...
you dont think Reece can play right wing....where he has played almost exclusively for his entire career?I remember you saying that with regard to the Ireland game, yet the final result (which flattered your side) proved you were wrong .

Is that all 23 at the same time?Let's see how the game unfolds, for NZ is has become crucial it seems to have all their players on the pitch...
No, what I was trying to say was that I believe Jordan will be a better fit than him for the right wing, in the absence of Telea.you dont think Reece can play right wing....where he has played almost exclusively for his entire career?
traditionally it's the other way around.Anyone know which team are wearing their change strip here?. Surely New Zealand will have to change kits as the away side?.
It has been in the 6N but in Autumn games the ABs have worn white in France a number of times.traditionally it's the other way around.
I agree with you.I think New Zealand sneak the win. Unfortunately.
Scotland changed for the SA matchIt has been in the 6N but in Autumn games the ABs have worn white in France a number of times.
i think that tradition went out the window a while backtraditionally it's the other way around.
