floodgates officially opened and the first blow out of the tournament has arrived.
Full credit to the french defence for the most part. With all the ball they've given to the kiwis they could have been down by 40+ at halftime if not for their commitment but the workloads clearly broken them now.
Would be great to see what they could do with a proper structure to their attack. If the the ARLC ever wants to invest any money in the international game funding minnow nation to employ first class coaches wouldn't be a bad option
