    Luke Whitelock as captain harks back to the days of Blackadder at the helm. I'm convinced Hansen reads the Fern now, well played Steve.

    Some interesting perspectives on French XV:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/comments/7cgubp/all_blacks_xv_for_midweek_match_against_french_xv/

    Front row will give our journeyman props a good workout. Locks test quality. Seems like their back row is green but full of athletic potential: one French answer to Fifita.

    Allied to possibly best French 9, Trinh Duc, who can be brilliant, big 12 and fast three quarters this could be quite a game!

    Just did the quick (and scary) count up and our starting 15 has a total of 114 caps between them. A total greatly boosted by Ardie and TKB (49).
    Grand total of 10 caps outside Sopoaga.

    It looks a pretty heavy pack we’re going with. JTA, two locks, Squire and Whitelock are big units.

    I hope it's not a case of 'too much weight, not enough speed work'

    Very French quote about a match they wanted to be an official test: 'All the guys who wear the blue jersey for the first time will do it for butter. You've said weird it is weird ... An 'A' selection or not, myself, what I'll remember is that I will have the cock on the heart," said the slice of Bordelais, Marco Tauleigne.

    Eurosport is good spot. If not, I'm pretty sure it's available Livestream via Allblacks.TV.

    Shit, don't read the Joseph Parker thread whatever you do.

    For updated info about where to watch the games, see the first post of the 2017 November Internationals thread. If you're not in NZ, don't forget to check at the bottom of that first post.

    @scribe Pricks! It was showing yesterday as on at 5pm today and I put a reminder on it, now I see it's disappeared and replaced by NHL, be interesting to see if my reminder still pops up!

    Edit: Oh I see I either already have that channel (Eurosports 1) or it's free with the sports bundle. Happy Days!

    We have the same commentator? I liked his countdown before he started.

    Well done! Not contesting the line-out and stopping the French driving maul.

    A poor open field kick and a few missed tackles have France on our line. Duffie missed the tackle. France turn it over.
