A nailbiter indeed! I thought the French played a better overall game but the scoreboard is where the decision is made. Although I would like to discuss what I found to be VERY odd strategy (to me, I am NOT well versed in such) on both sides, this is not the place or time to do it. This is the place and time to say... WELL DONE All Blacks!

BTW, today, I stayed away from ALL news, TV, radio, Mudcat... even had to shush two lads talkin about the game at the beer store and say, "I haven't seen the game yet so don't say any more, please." It was on TV here in the early AM and then again at 4PM. I enjoyed. AND, it was on a major US TV network. There is hope to bring the game to NA in a big way. It's slim, but there is hope.... I hope.
