I'd rather see Daf Jenkins start than Adam Beard I think.
Shame Anscombe doesn't appear to be fit aswell.

Yep, Got my team setup and joined the RugbyAnalyst / Eggchasers league since I've been watching both of their youtube channels a fair bit.

Figured we could have an OcUK league, so created one. Was expecting to have to spend more than 5 seconds creating it!

Looking forward to this now.

What a game to kick it off as well.

The opening ceremony is bloody naff.

Should be a decent game tonight, but I'm all for the Springboks obvs.

Scotland game over so perfect timing to switch over.

I hate how they have to “respect” the haka, they should be allowed do what they want.

I remember England walked towards them while doing it. Then got fined.

PlacidCasual · 8 Sep 2023 at 20:21

That constitutes a "good" start.

Diddums · 8 Sep 2023 at 20:53

Tell you what these French are putting up one hell of a fight.

Trusty · 8 Sep 2023 at 20:56

yeah, close game

PlacidCasual · 8 Sep 2023 at 21:03

It's amazing both teams seem capable of tackling properly, without needing to ram their shoulder in peoples faces.

Trusty · 8 Sep 2023 at 21:32

unreal tackle on the try line

Dis86 · 8 Sep 2023 at 21:35

Cracking try

Trusty · 8 Sep 2023 at 21:35

great try

Trusty · 8 Sep 2023 at 21:36

awesome opening game this. v competitive

Dis86 · 8 Sep 2023 at 21:38

Why the hell is he shaking his head at that decision?!

PlacidCasual · 8 Sep 2023 at 21:53

It's been a while since I've watched much New Zealand rugby but I have to say I'm so impressed by the skill levels of the All Blacks. The French are playing well but some of the individial tackling and handling of New Zealand has been impressive for a team under the pressure they've had.

edit: worth saying how impressively disciplined France have been. Even without their best players hitting thier best they have been great at squeezing the result out.

Gutted the French didn't get that try!

Trusty · 8 Sep 2023 at 22:04

France have just dominated the territory, and NZ have been very sloppy with pens. Bad combo, playing in your half and conceding pens to a ruthless kicker.

Vive la France!

Alice In Wonderland · 8 Sep 2023 at 22:05

What a fantastic try! Amazing end!
