I'll settled down this evening to watch the rugby with the thought that Italy might actually push them, given the rather lethargic all black performance against France.

Instead it has been the most one sided game i have ever seen.

:ohmy: :ohmy:

What have I just seen?!

Performance of this or indeed any other RUWC from the All Black's. I think that cements their place again as the team to beat, absolutely breathtaking.

I saw a few grumbles on social media from a tiny minority as to why all of the All Blacks games are on ITV1 whereas some home nations are on ITV4, and tonight and the general viewing figures show why. Nobody else can play rugby like that, let's hope they go on and win the whole thing for the sake of Rugby Union in general.

That is akin to wanting Manchester City to win the PL for the sake of football. Be much better if France or Ireland won it for the good of rugby imo. Having said that ANYONE other than SA

Not seen the Saffers. Are they still playing kick and run ?

I'd say it's akin to Brazil winning the football world cup. They are the people's team and the entertainers, most people root for Brazil at the FWC and the commentators absolutely love them.

I have no interest in listening to commentator wankfests about teams or players in any sport, it’s bloody annoying :smile:

They did their best to scuff the pitch up for our game against Marseille there on Thursday too. ☹️

Another astonishing attacking display last night from the mighty All Blacks. Nobody in the group stage has got close to the shock and awe of them going through the gears, they have certainly been the most entertaining. Some intriguing battles this weekend as the QF line up is completed.

France vs.Italy today. Will be another one sided game, Italy just haven't kicked on in the same way Argentina have.
