Nice one, Maso.

France won the coin toss for choice of kit colour. Rather than opting for their home kit of Dark Blue, Jo Maso the team manger decided the team would play in white - thus allowing New Zealand to wear black.

An honourable and magnanimous decision.

This has been thoroughly discussed on here for a while but yes it was a classy move

They realised white was a colour with more pedigree, and the great players that have worn it obviously inspired them to their best performance of the tournament.

New Zealand's old away kit?

Shame it hasn't really inspired our players recently. Our best performance for years has been in "anthracite".
