Good win for France, not playing their best but still well beat a dangerous New Zealand team.

I know they talk of a home advantage, but every decision has gone Frances way.

Massive win. Close game until all those small mistakes built up for NZ.

1 or 2 maybe but NZ conceded 12 pens there. Not great

Cracking game. Very tight in the first half, but France starting capitalising on the NZ penalties and missed tackles in the second half.

They were due after the shambles in that World Cup final, won’t make up for it right enough
great match though to start this tourney off with a bang.

The last try had clear seperation.
The penalty before the obstruction of the NZ player was ignored.

Watching the French do their work has been spectacular.
I really hope that at @Freefaller is watching this

I was. I'm liking this French team.
They certainly schooled the Kiwis, as a saffer, this brings a tear of joy to my eye. Viva Le France!

New Zealand were comfortably beaten but oh my gosh they do look dangerous in attack. Ioane and Mo,unga cut a very good France team apart on a few occasions. Some of their line breaks were amazing as an England fan I can only admire that level of flair in the knowledge we have nothing comparable. New Zealand were largely undone by the penalty count a very robust and disciplined France side pegged them back until they were chasing the game.
I can't see New Zealand winning the World Cup Ireland, South African and France are just too strong for them but there isn't another team in World rugby I'd rather watch.

Yeah I thought New Zealand were rather poor giving away so many penalties.

Great start by both Romania and Ireland!

Is it possible for sexton to not whinge?
Lol. Thought he brought it on himself as he slowed right down and the guy chasing didn't for obvious reasons. Should have kept going.

No. Dan Biggar is as bad. I would be happy if referees get tougher with the constant approaching of the ref about decisions.

I’ve not had a chance to watch any of the matches today, looking at the scores they look about as one sided as they could have been.
They're all going to be one sided I think which is a shame for us (England).
