Enthralling match so far iMO

On radio 5 this morning, Rick (one of the presenters who knows precious little about rugby) asked what sort of comments he should make to imply that he knew something. Someone texted in to say whenever the scrum half puts the ball into the scrum, just say ‘that’s not straight’ and you’ll be right’. How true!

Brilliant second half by France,totally dominant for the most part. The loss won’t hurt NZ though, barring an absolute disaster they will still be in the QF and winning this group doesn’t matter as you can’t avoid anyone

Very disappointing from our guys nowhere the days of our free flow flowing rugby, flair and power
Maybe Borthwick’s chess like, no risk approach will have some success in tournament rugby after all - from a NZ perspective this was about wining and finishing top of the group-we sacrificed what we are best at and took far fewer risks - my thoughts

I didnt see that margin between them, I thought it was going to be a very close game.

Ireland to top their group and probably get NZ in the quarters...one of the favourites going out!

Glad the hosts have got up and running. They were clearly feeling the pressure a bit, but worked through it.

Genuinely think Italy have a shot.
