Ruined the national anthems…. Unrecognisable

I thought the same - a youth choir with clever arrangement is never going to match a stadium crowd.
That's a piece of the home advantage thrown away to start with.

That was a terrible rendition of La Marseillaise.

That was a terrible rendition of La Marseillaise.

That is the most stirring of all Anthems, closely followed by the Welsh

slow start..

Didn’t expect the all blacks to come out attacking. France back in already. Good start…

Terrific stuff so far. NZ obviously want to play and get the big French pack having to run around a lot.

Very good side the french but just can’t warm to them hope the all blacks win out here ..

That’s because they’re French

Lovely kit though

Turnovers killing NZ and no surprise to see a Shaun Edwards defence causing them.

What year did RU peak? I used to love it in the 90s and into the 00s, but it’s got slower and slower to me.

Maybe it’s the professionalism of it now and everyone is coached better, but there seems to be a lack of spontaneity about it to me. No joy.

It might also be that I’m an armchair, occasional fan too though.
