    You can tell everyone is nervous about this game.

    This thread is a tough read

    I feel less enthusiastic about the start of this RWC as any one. Ever. Another thing Fozzie has taken from me. fluffybunny

    Suggest you don’t watch. You aren’t enthusiastic and want foster to lose so he doesn’t have a legacy to his name. Even if no one thinks foster is a great coach I’d still take the win thanks.

    Well fuck me, another visit from the thought police. I'm sure I'll be fine once the games start. And the Fozz statement was glib. Mainly...

    Funny, that's what I was thinking about you and Dan. Just because I feel a certain way that isn't consistent with your own view, no need to tell me that I'm wrong

    I am pumped for this game.

    Jaco Peyper ref - bit more of a known quantity to many of the ABs - and usually pretty good.

    My main concern is #3 and the combined loose trio - individually 6 7 8 are good players.... just not convinced of the mix of all them at once - bit like Aussie ideas a few years back....

    All that said 1st 20mins of the game will be key - hope we have accuracy and urgency in equal measures.

    GO THE ABs

    I absolutely agree we need to start well. I'm not sure we have the ability to dig ourselves out of a hole

    I think one thing that hasn’t been mentioned is the pressure on France. Disappointment after disappointment at RWC’s. Jekyll and Hyde type form within the same Cup campaign.

    That is a good point - I can't help but think that a wily old coach like Eddie or Hansen would have been doing their darndest to help"all the pressure is on France" to the international (and French!) media!

    I’m less concerned about the forwards and more concerned about the likes of ALB throwing intercepts and rushing out of the line.

    Havili excels in both of those.

    The Economist writing the ABs’ obituary today.

    New Zealand’s rugby supremacy is over. Good

    New Zealand’s rugby supremacy is over. Good

    The All Blacks are no longer all-conquering, but do not write them off in the World Cup

    This is good I refer to Simon Barnes c.2004 ...

    I've never been less enthused for the start of a RWC, if it was a really early start I would just miss it. But I will get up with a sense of foster induced dread. Yes we will be chip kicking from our 22. Sigh.

    I’m sorry to have to do this, but you’re wrong again.

    Tough day, finding out you’re not a proper supporter of the legions of evil AND that you’ve fundamentally misunderstood the purpose of the Fern. Suggest you watch the start of the RWC to console yoursel… nevermind.
