France v All Blacks

I'm really surprised they are going with that away strip
at least it's not grey
It is still very ordinary though and why introduce it right before a match with France...
I suspect Adidas had something to do with it.....
Given the strip France wore against the Wallabies which was the same design as the alternate AB strip, this will be a marketing dream for the three stripes.

Is the jersey black and white or black and silver? I don't really like it, I prefer the classic.
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.

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
Way to quote myself by accident in previous post to have a conversation with myself. Full Credit!

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

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.
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. -
