Not a classic by any stretch of the imagination......
France get over 1st night nerves...... NZ look a shadow of their great sides....
Maybe the refs have at last cottoned on to the way NZ play on the edge of legal and are beginning to penalise them more.... about time if they have....

The vast majority of pundits called this. I think you’ll see a few surprises this weekend
They got away with blue murder for years
SA hammered them at Twickenham a couple of weeks ago, the air of invincibility has gone...
Yea
Teams are not afraid of them anymore. right now, there’s at least 3 or 4 teams that quite simply have better players.
Their history and love for the sport means they can never be written off but they look out of sorts ATM
Excuse me, I've come over all Clinton Morrison !
Too early to write them off completely, everyone did that with Argentina after 1 game and look what happened there !
I genuinely think the Northern Hemisphere teams have stolen a march over the last few years.
Some great games over the weekend which could go either way
Aus v Georgia
I think the Georgians will keep it to less than 10
Eng v Arg
England to win by +5
Wales v Fiji
Draw
SA v Jocks
Can’t call. Maybe SA by less than 5

Think the Fijians could well cause a shock, but think the Boks will be too strong upfront
Great start for the Northern Hemisphere. Nothing to fear, stay positive Northern Hemisphere teams.
The second best S.H. team were wiped.

I'm wondering whether talented Fijiian and Samoan players that would once have been poached by the All Blacks, are now staying at home and playing for their national team.
Handy start from the French. Irish as expected.
Having to decide between watching Georgia potentially beat Australia and the England football match. The studio being used by ITV for the rugby, some sort of faux Parisian rooftop scene, hysterically bad and zero excitement in the panel. The pitch side discussion on C4 for the football epically weak.
Think I’ll stick with the rugby.

Tediously one sided, looks like Eddie will finally get a win. I’ll switch to the football.
