All Blacks versus France update ...

We're going well ... the French commentators just shouted 'Aux abris!'

It means, 'To the shelters' ... as in 'under attack'.

Les plaquages sont impressionants

'The tackles are impressive!'


So ... halftime, 16 New Zealand, 5 France.

Unfortunately France is playing quite a good defensive game ... thank goodness for Danny Carter ... whose name you really haven't heard until you've heard it said by French rugby commentators ... let me assure you.

They say 'Carter' kind of like 'character' but more deliciously.

Did I mention this game is a game that commemorates the first game New Zealand played against France back in 1906 ...

You know, I'm not suffering too badly as long as New Zealand is winning, the French commentary adds to the whole exquisite experience.
