All Blacks Vs France - RWC Final
 

So, I am going to be putting all my money that is in my TAB account on the AB's (admittedly there is not much in there), but I do have a concern that because there is so much in the news about how shit France are, they are going to come out so fired up that they might catch us by surprise. And we will then have to play catch up rugby, which could make the game more stressful.

Rugby World Cup: French angry at 'insulting' NZ press

But I still believe we will win by 20+

arnt they paying something stupid like 8cents to the dollar?
why even bother

to make 80c :)

Feel like putting a 10 on france just for the sake of it.

Im'm not liking how all the media are writing off the france; hopefully the All blacks not reading any of it!

Yeah H2H is a waste of time. Harden up and put it on the All Blacks point start, that'll keep you on the edge of your seat the whole match :P

All Blacks 24-10

32-6

I put a bet on 21-30 point win.

As the week has gone on, I have become less worried, even with the French coming out angry at us, and I don't think people are overconfident in saying that we will easily win.
The ABs & coaches will not be going into the game with that attitude. A bunch of them have first hand knowledge with what could happen, and they will be planning for that as well.

The last 2 weeks when I picked the score, I expected more tries. This week I expect more NZ tries, and less France tries.
NZ - 33
FR - 12

15 - 6 AB's. They better win or I'll have one less hoodie I can wear in the street.



The locals haven't completely given up on their boys yet....

Even the French team don't think they can win (trust), and there's so much internal drama going on in that team...psychologically I don't think that they can pull off the proverbial French comeback. But I know sfa about psychology.

And that's the extent of my scoop.

I like Wazzas pick, but to be different I'll say 32-11

38-17 ABs

NZL 34 - 18 FRA

28 - 10.
Possibility for a blowout if both teams show up in last weeks form _b

edit: speaking of which
France unchanged for ABs final

And I doubt our team will change. Maybe 1 on the bench at most

I expect the French to come out with their eyegouging, ballsack pulling tactics of previous world cups, so they'll be doing their best to upset us as much as possible.

So hopefully we won't let that sort of thing get to us if it does happen.

HAHAHA Thanks for that. Made my day

I have a bad feeling about this game eh, the french are like the chiefs in that they generally only get up for one game a year (vs the blues and AB's respectively) ... their last tour here was pretty tight and I think they will be very fired up for this game.

Team's unchanged. With Piri hopefully back to 100% this week it's going to be brutal :D

looking forward to the final! its going to be awesome, even if we (fingers crossed we dont) lose, itll have been a great tournament and a great achievement to get to the final. what an adventure its been.

that said, KICK SOME FRANCAIS DERRIÈRE! GO BLACKS!

and for tonight, GO THE WALES! i love the guys, really, but i wanna see aus go home with nothing ;> (plus wales deserves it)

The thing is, if they are actually able to step up enough to beat the all blacks, then it's likely to be an epic final

Interesting stats. Try not to laugh at the turnovers

how can you NOT laugh at that...

I lol'd ;)

The stats paint a good picture for Wales over Aus.

Clean breaks top 5 made me laugh also.

fucking rofl

The fact that Australia consistently beat them paints a good picture for Wales?

Well I never said it would work out that way :p

ABs by 14. Come on All Blacks! Just one more night of hard work!!

Strong team. Best in the world right now. Kia kaha boys!!

fark i am pumped, even though ill probably be watching it at home alone (with a dozen friends)

6 hours couldnt go fast enough!


Gooo ALL BLACKS!

32-10

ill be doing the same lol...best view of the game imo

Great article about the all blacks warm up before the 1987 world cup

Damn, now *I* feel amped!

Andy Dalton: "Losing is for c----! And we're not c----, are we!"

Apparently the televised coverage of the game has been moved to the adult channel. This is because 15 French arseholes being hammered for 80 minutes is deemed too explicit.

I lol'd

Whilst I could be the lone voice of reason here I guess I can just wait until after the game to comment.
