RWC Week 1: France v All Blacks
-
Something to get everyone hyped for Saturday, how good were the ABs in this performance.
Snakey Smith makes an appearance in the video below, is it me or has he aged quite alot since his playing days?

Savea was so good but by crikey he lives up to the old candle burning twice as bright cliche that seems to befall NZ outside backs like no other nation……
He was on the scrap heap less than two years after this.

Where do we find these in NZ?
A country bogan pub with big steak nights.

@Canes4life I have very fond memories of this game, the Bus's performance was truly stellar, I almost rate that performance as being similar to Lomu.

can we please stop comparing this team to the 2015 vintage? There are a handful of tema in history that can favourably compare to this team, and certainly no team at this Cup.
Ben Smith is as good as any AB fullback ever
Our best ever midfield that includes one of the best 12s ever
The best 10 to play the game
The best AB halfback ever
One of the top #8s in AB history
The greatest rugby player of all time
The best AB 6 i've ever seen
Our best locking compo at the peak of their powersPrime BB coming off the bench.
It's a ridiculous comparison that doesn't really say anything about this team.

I would also add to this a Coles-Mealamu hooking combination that, collectively, is as good as any hooking combo in the game.

Narawa ruled out of the RWC. Here's your chance Foster to undo your initial fuck up, pick Finau as a replacement.

@akan004 Long time to wait on it when he's been injured since the first test of the year! He's just a fucking wing FFS.

Not that I don't believe you, but where did you get the info (Narawa's injury) from? AB team infos are difficult to get sometimes. Thanks
