'13 WC | Group B | New Zealand 48-0 France | Avignon

[ParraEelsNRL]

Nice tackle

 

[Bovrick]

The ability of the NZ forwards to get on their feet quickly is making a huge difference. Good on France for holding on so far though!

 

[Springs]

Great tackle Stacul

 

[Meth]

Shit call, Bosc should have been allowed to run away with that

I think Mannering made that call

France are going nowhere in attack by comparison. Forwards getting dominated. aaand here's a last tackle knock on.

 

[Pugzley]

f**k me, shot in HD, commented by people commenting on the game instead of themselves. Nine, please take note.

And NZ are a bunch of grubs, holding down on the ruck.

But they've got Remi Casty.

 

[adamkungl]

Goodwin was basically unchallenged there. Awful kick defence again

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Please get them some NRL coaches over there to teach them how to defend against the kick :crazy:

 

[Meth]

Damn the kicking game is good today

 

[Bovrick]

Just kicks, can't handle it near the centres

 

[Danish]

hasn't been a linebreak yet, has there?

Its like the kiwis have just been waiting for defensive lapses in order to get through the line but they simply are not coming. Take away the high ball and the kiwis haven't looked like scoring all game.

France seriously need to rough Johnson the f**k up. They are giving him hours to place these kicks. Rush him and follow through straight into the ribs. Even if you concede a penalty at least you'll give him something to think about on his next kick

 

[adamkungl]

Here's hoping Kearney's coaching ability shines through at some point here

 

[adamkungl]

France's attack is woeful. They seem to be running with the same gameplan as my mixed oztag team. 1 out runs and dont even think about passing it.

 

[JasonE]

France need to get a decent last tackle in, the last few sets they have stuffed up on the last.

 

[Springs]

NZ need to have more than the bomb. They wouldn't have scored against Australia or England yet.

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

Did vossy just say the grand plan is to have a Northern Italy team in the SL?

 

[Bovrick]

They don't have the players to play it so safe, but it probably isn't doing too much damage to their points difference... if they can keep it up.

He did, not sure where he got that from! Come on Milan :sarcasm:

 

[blukablu]

To go into half time at only 12-0 down would be huge for France.
