If you were disappointed by the Irish fighting spirit, as a guy from Toulouse, I just want to reassure all you Kiwi rugby fans.
Les bleus are definitely ready for it!!!
France never takes a game against the All Blacks lightly.
Here’s to some great, flowing rugby!

I recommend going and watching Squidge’s breakdown on our game. Far more insightful than this!

[MrAhuapai]

Beating France with Roigard ensuring Dupont had a shocker would be a far greater win in my books. If you recall the ABs beat Ireland in the RWC while France absolutely toasted the ABs in the pool match.

[robertswaine]

Nothing more flattering then Kiwis getting so emotional about beating Ireland. Never thought I’d see it

[Spencer-zk]

France v NZ, now here's a rivalry for the ages, a rivaly to rival the All Blacks/Springboks rivalry, lol, this clash definitely has a glorious past, the 87 final, the battle of Nantes also in the 80s, France have knocked us out of the World Cup twice and have also lost two finals to us, we love playing France, their silky flamboyance and flair is contrast to our skill, power and pace, be a great game to watch as they all

[comemussault]

Going to watch France - NZ at the Stade de France, cannot wait to welcome the All Blacks!! It's always a big fight!!!

[LukeSexton]

Just wondering, why are the SH so obsessed with "beating" the NH? Personally I support Ireland but couldn't care less how other NH teams do against SH teams (and in fact I support anyone playing against England by definition). Maybe I'm wrong but this desire to best the other hemisphere seems to come largely from the South, but it just all feels very contrived to me. Like am I supposed to support Italy over Argentina, Wales over Fiji, or England over Australia, just because they happen to be north of the Equator? Makes no sense to me. Curious to know why a lot of fans of SH teams seem to quite passionately support other SH teams, even if it's a country '000s of miles away with limited cultural or historical ties.

[Huckster-tjif]

Only French team to win against an All Black team is an unpredictable French team

[andremaube]

France VS New Zealand will be a Great match, I am sure

[rugbymad-ry]

I picked the AB to go through undefeated and they will, of that i have no doubt.its gonna be tough against france but we owe them

[ianhamilton]

Thought it was a bang average AB side but we were poor and did not turn up at all....

[fallschirmjager]

with how badly we played and the ref being trigger happy for penaltys, im amazed it was only 10 points. I´ll take it.

[axxey]

We kicked once to the corner near the start of the game, instantly decided to throw to the back and Aumua threw it completely crooked, never went for the corner again...
Everyone says how wonderful he is... Coach plays him for 78 minutes and people think that's a good thing? Epic razor fail to use bench again.
Dmac's interview after the game interestingly did mention that the kicking was the game plan, not the usual Dmac style.

[michaelmoynihan]

The kiwi mutton chops will lose to the french steak.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[strucksoon]

Probably the worst game to watch of the tournament so far. In fact it was dire. The only positive was seeing the ABs reduce their penalty count from the previous match.

[FlyFlashToby]

Jeff good balanced response, you can only play what's in front of you but the irish didn't turn up and that's not the All Black fault but that's not to say the All Blacks player well they just played better

[migyman]

I’m pretty sure this NH tour won’t mean much for both the ABs and the boks. I’m predicting either the ABs or boks will win the next World Cup

[RugbyJackal]

Ireland played miserably, had no props, but well done NZ,

[gavinsmith]

Don’t forget how Springboks only beat England in last few minutes of their World Cup semi too - England choked their as well.

[rugbyanalyst]

Good to see Jeff Wilson be honest - that was a dire first half and Ireland were so poor.
