    Bad penalty miss. France can't afford to cough up such easy chances

    Looking a bit messy for the French. Your quid looks unsafe Nuts.

    These underarm offloads are becoming quite the motif of this tournament. That was a beauty from Carter.

    And a Lomu style 'can't go under it, can't go over it, can't go round it, have to go through it' try from the Savea, crushing the mountainous Spedding, who looks great in the air and going forward, but doesn't seem to stop tries.

    I'm increasingly convinced that if you have world class players, having them at 15, 10 and 7 is really handy.

    Savea is just a monster, so like Lomu in his pomp. France just playing for pride now...

    2 of those tries were handed to them.
    Ridiculous defending.
    French haven't turned up at all. Embarrassing.

    Some of the best players in the game at the moment wear either the number 7 or 15

    7&8 and 9&10 combinations have always been crucial

    Absolutely, but personally I'd rather have a good number 8 and Richie McCaw than a good number 7 and Sergio Parisi. Of course if you can have Neil Back and Martin Johnson that's fine and dandy.

    The French are giving their all against a much better team, but have the capacity to do something stupid at any time.

    That's a great try from a tighthead prop on the wing. All Blacks' speed and accuracy is different class.

    I'd take O'Brien and Parisi against any other 7/8 combination in the world right now.

    Kids rugby the losing coach has the option to end the game once a team is 50 points down.

    The French reserve hooker is far too pretty boy to be a forward. he looks like a South African stand off with a beard.

    I had one spelling mistake today. Nearly got it right. Try this;

    Going for a big treble today.
    Us, Wales & France to lose.

    You heard it here first.
