All Blacks v France.

RWC.

20-18 to France.

I predicted 22-19 to France as I know my rugby and the ABs have not performed convincingly this tournament.

An old school friend is in the ABs and had a pretty good game.

The referee sin binned one of us for doing nothing and France scored when we were 14 men only.

The French put on a veteran of theirs and within 30 seconds of taking the field he scored a try.

Ref also missed numerous forward passes etc.

Almost seems rigged, but I always thought the English (ref Wayne Barnes) and French did not like each other ...

Anyway. I cry. Earliest ABs exit from the RWC ever.

Australia is also out, to England earlier this morning (10-12, also very close).

So Fiji is the only Pacific nation still in the running. I now support them, and the Argentinians.

Sigh. Shouldn't really be so upset over a sport ...
