What a great game. Wow the French set the standard from minute 1. 78-83% <3 second ruck speed and it showed. Jalibert next level. ABs attack transformed under Rennie.

Anyway.


Rennie’s All Blacks - 100% win rate.


Well done guys. You’ve finally surpassed the great AB team of 2015 whatever.

When you’re a hammer head, anything to do with All Black rugby is a nail.

Why would you kick the ball away with less than 2 minutes to play?

The glove will be on the other foot next time the two sides meet! Too many NZ player are out of form and or playing abroad! I’m personally not very fond of France but it’s hard to see NZ matching them!

I guess you have t been watching the Canes? NH sides always sound good because they’ve got money in thier comp’s, but so far, they haven’t achieved anything in a Workd Cup
