Playing in white.

Ugh. At least it's not silver. That ground is a disgrace

[Steven Harris]

I think i am going to hide behind the couch for the first scrum

Joggie Viljoen will probably blow a gasket with his grandsons hair cut

We haven't won the tournament since 2011, and only featured in the final three times since then

I think you should have a look at the winners of the 2015 and 2017 tournaments.

Blues fans: the 12 might get a contract next season.

Aw shit. Showing about as much vision as Jordie in the 83rd minute vs the Brumbies. Good to see we survived the first scrum

[Toddy]

Good first up scrum

[Stargazer]

That scrum went surprisingly well.

[Steven Harris]

Kemara ..?

[canefan]

Nothing kick

[canefan]

France get what they deserve after using that bullshit rolling maul

He was similar in the first half of game 1.

[antipodean]

tackle around the legs ffs

[canefan]

Too easy for France. Their forwards finding it much easier to gain than we did

[Tim]

Lovely rugby from France.

Our tackling was shit as well.

[Stargazer]

First try of the game goes to the French left winger in the right corner.
