    Sick memes.

    I was sure SBW would at least be on the bench, perfect opportunity for him to shouldercharge someone and go off in a blaze of headlines, but now he can't force Lynyrt Brown out?

    I actually think we’ll play better for longer portions of the match, but the margin won’t be as big.

    France were jogging around in that last 15 and we ran rampant. Can’t see that happening this week.

    Run the French off there feet, the Top 14 is so slow and cardio is not a focus in that competition. The club owners only want to win the T14 and European Champ's they couldnt careless about International rugby so they dont focus on the cardio and athleticism with their club squads. We can exploit this.

    I would note that there were a shit load of people here freaking out and losing their shit during those vital group matches against Namibia and Georgia.

    True. Despite Hansen making it plainly obvious that they were approaching those games as testing elements of their play we'd benefit from come the knockouts.

    And it was interesting to hear him say that we're now at the point in the cycle where they feel it's time to develop their game, having not done so for a couple of years due to all the analysis. I become more and more impressed with the set up in the All Blacks.

    Don't think they were tapering off either, just training right through. Probably a much better approach than going for 3 70 point victories and then being shocked when playing a decent team.

    Interesting that that BKT scrum has led to France ditching their best scrummaging TH!

    30 point margin.

    You think?

    After losing by over 40 last week I think a 30 point margin is a bit of a tough hurdle for the frogs

    Given the way they dropped their heads last weekend, a couple of early tries and it could get very ugly.

    Great clearance from Jordie.

    We need to get our heads in the game and up the intensity.
