we can play 5 wingers in the QF though that is a bonus.Fozzie innovation, the 1 - 7 bench.
The "peewee squad" they'll call it.Lose our front row , have uncontested scrums, and throw it around Fiji style
The Scots College tactic.

Looks like it will be hot and humid - even factoring in the 9pm local kickoff time
Why the fuck would they start a game so late?

Well for an opening game you've got an opening cemerony for an hour or so beforehand
From memory the 2011 RWC in NZ there were games kicking off at 9pm local.

There were, but the aim as I understood it was to enable TV audiences in Europe.

@KiwiMurph yuck.

we'll win by 2 scores

I reckon we will sneak it, 6 points...Think the pressure on the French will be immense, but by the same token I think they will see this as a better path to victory.
-
I’d so love to be wrong but I think France will pip this. They’ve won 12 in a row at home. The injuries to Retallick and Frizzell and a lack of forward power are exposing weaknesses in the All Blacks that a ruthless side led by a great player like Antonie Dupont will expose.

Bad guys by 9 plus setting us up to play SA again in the quarters (yes I'm also making other predictions)
