At the scrum, we have Ardie at 6 and Lakai at 7, Sititi staying at 8

I’m liking this ref so far but I think the ABs could have had a penalty from that scrum

Oh that was sweet from Roigard. Poached the ball from the poacher.

Looks like boring in to me each time but Colombes needs to adapt to the ref.

You can just feel the effects of Canterbury coaching in this forwards performance

Commentator really struggling with Williams' first name: he seems to have settled on 'Tamatai'

Ref must have heard a 30 minute time limit to set the scrums - not 30 seconds.

Needed that. One day Galthie will explain what he sees in Moefana.

Cros and Penaud missing showing.

I’m liking Roigard’s pace from the base of the ruck.

Villiere tackling like a man who has had too many serious injuries which is a shame given that he used to be a regular winner of turnovers.

That's why Buros gets picked. 1st Fre FB since Sadourny who can catch a ball.

Sensational first half with both teams really up to the task. The last few minutes saw a lot of bodies flopping across the rucks to my eye, despairing attempts to slow the ball down I guess but they'll want to watch that.

Hard luck for Finau. Lakai looking right at home.

B-B has massively upped his defensive game. Ironically reminds me of peak Villiere whilst Villiere has been the reverse so far.

Probably not

Though English TV does a better job than many countries of trying to balance out the nationalities. On RTE they think the Nordies count as foreign
TNT have Ben Kaiser who is generally quite good and BOD for the anyone but NZ angle.
The Beeb have used Thomas Castaignède in the past. He's been very good. Intelligent & animated

I guess. But defence in the midfield is the bare minimum. He just contributes nothing in offence. Wonder if we'll see Gailleton early.

Roigard is a mile better than Cortez has been recently.
He's been watching an Aaron Smith highlights reel. Just clear the ball!

Need more of that from Meafou. That's why he is selected.

Not sure how legal that is. Also can Kayser stop shouting support for the French into his mic, thank you
