Two teams with different pressures on them..looking forward to see which team withstands the pressure and moves forward. Both have to feel good no matter what they are through....

I am sickened to my stomach.
Sickened I tell you!

I can't see the All Blacks losing this. Peyper suits us. France will be nervous. All Blacks will have a dead cat bounce...

Over four years between his two reds, so a fortnight was never gonna be enough.

Nah, Mo'unga got just 2 shots at goal against you guys, iirc. Both easy kicks, but he missed one (off the upright).Cartman wrote: Mon Aug 28, 2023 8:30 pmIf Aus can score three tries against them... thats five in Jordan moneyGrandpa wrote: Mon Aug 28, 2023 8:20 pm I can't see the All Blacks losing this.

If they get thrashed by France, they may as well go home... so if not win, they must run them close...Cartman wrote: Mon Aug 28, 2023 8:30 pmIf Aus can score three tries against them... thats five in Jordan moneyGrandpa wrote: Mon Aug 28, 2023 8:20 pm I can't see the All Blacks losing this.

As per the post on the SA fred, this result is largely irrelevant. It's probably Ire or SA in the 1/4s and I don't think either Fra or NZ has a preference of whom to avoid. Therefore, it's simply a matter of ensuring not losing to Italy to secure a 1/4 slot.Grandpa wrote: Mon Aug 28, 2023 9:31 pmIf they get thrashed by France, they may as well go home... so if not win, they must run them close...Cartman wrote: Mon Aug 28, 2023 8:30 pmIf Aus can score three tries against them... thats five in Jordan moneyGrandpa wrote: Mon Aug 28, 2023 8:20 pm I can't see the All Blacks losing this.

That's true... but after the SA shambles, another thrashing would be detrimental... so even though the game doesn't matter in terms of where it leads to... performance matters I think...Torquemada 1420 wrote: Tue Aug 29, 2023 8:17 amAs per the post on the SA fred, this result is largely irrelevant.

The ABs cleaned the Boks up in pool play last time around and they went on and won it.
It’s just one game and the tournament hasn’t even started yet.
Chill, Winston.

I can't see that happening. Even if Fra did pull out to a winning lead, everyone key would be subbed and the game shutdown. Yeah, that might still be seen as a thrashing but it won't happen on the scoreboard. I'm not Galthie or Foz, but I would be focusing on beating Ita and worrying about the 1/4 to the exclusion of everything else. As a result, I am completely relaxed about the opening game result. Sure, I don't want Fra to lose but I am far more concerned about injuries and the form of some players.Grandpa wrote: Tue Aug 29, 2023 8:27 amThat's true... but after the SA shambles, another thrashing would be detrimental... so even though the game doesn't matter in terms of where it leads to... performance matters I think...Torquemada 1420 wrote: Tue Aug 29, 2023 8:17 amAs per the post on the SA fred, this result is largely irrelevant.

They've been shafted along with Scotland. At the moment, Argentina must be laughing their socks off with the draw they've been handed.

More than that I thought? I gave up with trying for tickets for the entire comp. It was a bigger farce than 2007. I was at JB and SdeF over the weekend and none of the rugby people I know or met had managed to get any tickets for France games, let alone that one. Shows what a sh*tshow the FFR made of it if SaintK as a supporter of neither side was able to get tickets ahead of us.Marylandolorian wrote: Tue Aug 29, 2023 12:30 pmYou were able to get ticks for this game?
