I think the French could ruffle a few feathers here. Great to see another full stadium. I'd love to see the French get the World Cup outright in 2021

Purely kicks undoing the French so far. Frustrating no doubt.

The fixture list that came with tickets said this was an 8pm kickoff!?

8pm local time

Enjoying the game, the commentary is a breath of fresh air aswell.

Of all the games so far I find France the worst team to watch. After so much good work off the field they really dropped a clanger by putting Agar in charge. One try in a 120 minutes of rugby, the defence seems ok in the middle but very vulnerable outwide.

The basics are just not there from France, shame because the people of France deserve a decent RL side.

some of the france players seem scared to take the hit when running in stepping and stuttering before the defensive line. I like escare but greenshields would be a lot better in this kind of game.

on a side note i hate this ruling that it doesn't matter if you play for the ball or not if it hits you its a knock on, happened to hall against tate and happened twice tonight.

They have been coached to play like the Anglo-Saxons. A succession of English coaches have tried to eradicate the French flair. Only young Theo Fages and Morgan Escare have the inner instincts and talent to bring on more inventive and exciting French play.

I think the Kiwis are obviously the better side, but the French are having no luck either.
The French are trying really hard, and if they had had a bit of luck they would still be close.
I still can't stand this ref. He seems to ignore heaps of things, then give random penalties for petty crap just when the game is rolling along nicely. He is a real momentum killer.

France are being battered into submission. They'll do well to keep it below 30.

Joan capdouze, your boys are taking one hell of a beating!!!!

France only have themselves to blame.

Not completing sets, poor kicks, silly penalties.

It's how NOT to win a test match 101. Bravo!
