@nzzp was Fozzie wasnt it?

not sure -- just saw a glimpse a couple of days ago. The week has been ...interesting, just had a chance to actually sit down and read the Fern now. So - you're probably right

Saturday shaping as ABs v French Development XV. This from coach (courtesy of Google Translate):

To face the All Blacks, the new generation, which seems to have a form of carefreeness, can it be an asset?

Guy NOVES: "We'll see on Saturday (smile). I think we have to start a day. So these young people have this opportunity, one has to know how to seize it. We only get what we deserve. After that, the context is complicated because it's still the best team in the world. We will try to be tolerant in our assessments. I consider that they have nothing to lose. They must display their qualities, their cheek, their carefreeness. We believe that this can be an asset. So it's up to us to allow them to free themselves in a complicated context.

The Akira for the Maori team theory was correct.

He replaces Whitelock after his Maori commitments are over.

Welll done to those who put forward the theory.

Ridiculous. Bloody Dorklanders.

[Crucial]

Found our centre combination

That French lifestyle really packs on the kgs eh?

[Crucial]

So the official report that JK has 'gone home' were off the mark. He has gone to his homies instead.
A few nights being wined and dined on the expenses of some French club recruiters......?

[Unite]

@crucial I thought they said he was leaving after the Test this weekend.

[broughie]

Being shut out of viewing any of the rugby on the northern tour. Can anyone pm me a link.

[Crash]

@crucial Yup - all the bread wine and cheese

[pakman]

@broughie if you've got Sky call Premier Sports and connect for £12?

[pakman]

[westcoastie]

bullshit #france2023 guerilla marketing using little kids...
quite fun without someone singing the anthem alongside the brass band
lets get it on.

[Stargazer]

Let's goooooooooo!

[Toddy]

Can you not kick the ball in the ruck? I thought feet on the ball were fine.

[Stargazer]

@toddy Not sure, but I think you can only kick it backwards (towards you)?

[westcoastie]

what a waste of 4min so far. about zero rugby been played.

[No Quarter]

Great break Crotty-SBW. Thought France were offside at the final ruck there.

[Tregaskis]

Good surge us.

[ACT Crusader]

Crotty into second receiver and good offload SBW.
