Re: QF2: New Zealand v France, 17 October
Come now Notch. Saying silly things like that is setting the scene so that you can have a pop at the ABs after the game regardless of the result. So you subscribe to the Michalak school of thought that France have a 2% chance of winning? Neither he, nor you, believe this.

Re: QF2: New Zealand v France, 17 October
Hey now, you're being a little over-zealous. I'm not interested in having a pop at the All Blacks whatever happens. Quarter-final rugby is quarter-final rugby, and it's not the scoreline that matters. You shouldn't care whether its a 5-point margin or a 25-point margin so long as you get the job done.
But honestly, 2% chance of winning sounds about right. Let's look at Frances record over the past few years. Since the last World Cup they have not made the Top 3 of the Six Nations even once- finishing 4th, 6th, 4th and 4th. They have a win rate of just 46% in that period. They were outclassed in their last game by an Ireland team who lost three key players to injury. England put 55 points on them just a few months ago!
I just do not rate them that highly. They are massively physical and will put in some very big carries and hits in defence. But they do not have the brains to go with that brawn.

If France can get on top in the scrum as I think they may and feed off that, you never know
But I think NZ by 10

Would love it if the French just turned around and mooned the Haka.
They'd get away with it!

Great kick, although it does look like his head has been pushed in from the sides

If Spedding can bang them over from 50m why not just let him take them all

Looks like the player at the bottom is running in front of the kick off

The AB's are the better side by miles but they certainly are getting the benefit of the decisions.
