What even was that after the previous 20 minutes?

Fickou is France's best player just now.

Canada fans - just curious. Has there ever been anyone on the Canada rugby team that had NHL bloodlines?

Yeah, but call me unpatriotic because I'm not planning on watching the whole thing... at least the next two games are on at more reasonable times.

Also don't do that poo poo. That just looks bad for the game as a whole if you keep packing down a scrum and then muscle over the minnows from 10 out.

I think penalty try was a reasonable call there really. I mean NZ didn't need to do that but it was fine really.

Having the Barretts completely dominate this game probably isn’t helping with that whole world thinking we are all related thing.

Really need a handicap system in rugby for games like these, maybe the kiwis have to play league rules against everyone else

How long have these chip kicks as American football-style end zone fade routes been a thing?

also I double checked, 24 degrees C and 90+% humidity in Oita tonight for this game :stonk:

I want to say the first cross field kick try was maybe 10-15 years ago. Assuming that's what you mean, I understood nothing after the word kick.

Kick passes have been around for a while but they're really effective against poorer opposition so they're happening a lot this year.

The fade route like this is a common way to try and get a touchdown in American football when you're close in almost identical circumstances. It's got a bit better odds than in football.
