F**k knows what is going on with the RER. When I was there for the Aus game, I skipped D and used 13 and the tram!

Just walked passed a pharmacy in Bastille and the sign outside was showing 38C
Not sure how accurate they are but it certainly feels it

Well that'll be heat reflecting off ground and buildings but accurate to what passers by are feeling.. A stadium with 80 000+ sweat soaked spectators is going to be a fun arena tonight!

Geez. Getting nervous for the ABs.

Posted: **Fri Sep 08, 2023 1:36 pm**

Late heatwave is a nasty thing.

34 36 now (temp felt is around 40) the game will be played at about 27 (felt around 31)

The time is ticking closer. On the bright side, it will be one less game with Foster in charge by tomorrow.

So anyway
Are we ready lads?

Beer in the fridge ?

Snacks ?

Ear plug for the kids?

PS 37°C here it's hell ...

Allez les bleus !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bricking it. I want France to do well but need NZ to do better. I still can’t see us going beyond the quarters.

It’s the fecking hope that will do for me. The fecking hope.

A draw would be nice. Let’s all be friends tonight.

Of which more than half will smell like garlic at the start of the game.

Now imagine that smell after 60 minutes in 30° temperature.
