How do we see it going? NZ have never lost a RWC group match, the only team to have competed in RWCs who can say that, but I think France will narrowly end that run tonight.

Would like to see the Kiwi pass for the initial break that led to the try again. Not seeing many replays tonight.

The ball is very greasy. Don't want to risk giving the ball away on a dangerous area. NZ are dangerous ball in hand.
Also France always kick alot.

France are too though, think they are showing NZ too much respect.

They haven't really made any inroads so far and I think that's denting their confidence a bit. The ABs are making the breakdown a war and it's slowing the ball. France are desperately missing Danty.
Worrying for France that Alldritt looks tired and is nursing a sore shoulder. They're going to need him.

I thought I saw Savea fly off his feet and missed Aldrit being in front of the kick off. It would be nice to see what the ref is actually blowing up (or not) for!!
There was the challenge on the air that looked a bit iffy as well.
Agreed, it's stupid we are seeing so few replays.

I think it was a choir singing it as a delay. I'm sure there's a technical term for it. Not sure I've heard it done for a national anthem before.

Anyway NZ looking good here.

Seeing a concerning number of players (both sides) throwing themselves to the floor and trying to buy a penalty.

Re: Rugby World Cup - other team/games and general chat
I don't think I've seen so few replays in the coverage before though. World Rugby run the RWC so maybe they have more control over the coverage here.
The pass looked forward live and I honestly only looked up at the end of the one replay they showed!

I can understand the crowd but it would be good for the home audience to see them!!
What is the point in showing a blatant (in my professional opinion 🤪) forward pass after the conversion was taken???

Sounded like the crowd was out of sync with the choir resulting in a mess. Keep it simple.

Anyway, great chance for France to turn the screw, get a second try and get two scores ahead.
