    @KiwiMurph Okay, I’ve seen the video @akan004 has posted. Shannon is a ‘fair bit away’. Bugger!

    Picking the extra wing rather than a back up 6 is looking somewhat unwise.

    Papalii to 6 and Jacobson to the bench then.

      That quarter final is still some time away, that will be their priority with frizzel and Brodie I would imagine and not risk any setbacks

        Two under cooked forwards in a crucial quarter final. What could possibly go wrong?

                    I can see the headlines now……

                      Massive moment for France. First game of a World Cup in their country in their home stadium with their President there and with a home Olympics around the corner.

                      I hope the All Blacks are going to abandon all the “being too nice” shit and are going to enjoy being massive party poopers at Stade de France. No excuses! Go Black!

                      I take it this is what you would play, rather than what you think will.

                      Team naming must be soon...

                                        Sky Sport NZ's coverage is from 5.45am, I assume kick-off will be 6.00am after anthems, the haka etc.
