The ABs will be wearing white jerseys.
I thought the French jerseys were lighter blue these days?
I still have no idea why France ever went away from the very iconic and quite cool Le Coq Sportif tricolour set up of red socks, white shorts and blue jersey.
I thought they were back in that combo in the 6N this year? -

i quite like that. Stylish.
If they have white shorts and red socks the zero clash at all. -

I wonder who made that decision. Probably someone hoping to diminish an aura, that is so last year.
And I agree the French outfit is tres chic. -

Yes. I think this could be a good matchup, but win or lose, not a defining one.

not a defining one.
it could be though, hopefully in the positive.

And the headless chook circus act continues from this coaching staff.
Fuck knows what this game brings, same game plan probably.
Same Result as many other losses under this regime.Chris, question please ...
... Am confused about what you think about Ian Foster and the current coaching team.
Can you please get off the fence and tell us what you really think?

Just going to say I don't have the same sense of trepidation for this Test.
Weirdly a few days ago I was in the position of expecting an All Black loss.
Last and only time I thought the All Blacks would lose was 1990. Vs France. Over there. Following losses to Core D'Azur & Cote Basque.
We won 2r-3 and 30-12. Never doubt the All Bkacks.
Was weird.
However a few things have knocked me back to reality, and am now expecting an AB win.

Iām going to leave judgement until after the match.
If we get slaughtered - coaches out please
If we win convincingly not only on the scoreboard but also on the pitch - fair play to foster.
A middling display - coaches out please
but how consistently have France been playing? If not very consistent, then the result might not be very revealing.
2019: Scraped past Tonga in the group stage, just lost to Wales by 1 in RWC QF.
2021: Thrashed Italy (50-10), beat Ireland (15-13), just lost to England (20-23)..just beat Wales (32-30), lost to Scotland by 4 (23-27)...Wales robbed of penalty try that would have won it for them.

Kinda don't think so as that would mean "we're stuck with Foster " ....

AB's to win by at least 5 for me. There's no way they'll lose two on the trot, not happening.
