    Injuries mar All Blacks' record win over France

    Injuries mar All Blacks' record win over France

    New Zealand's record 61-10 demolition of France in Wellington last night came at a high price with locks Ali Williams and Keith Robinson both suffering injuries.

    How terrible for them.

    Wasn't Ali Williams in the conditioning camp? Can't they toughen up their jaws a bit? They will fold like a manilla...

    I assume Robinson wasn't in the camp 'cos they probably got taught how to warm up properly in camp and he obviously didn't

    The French didn't come off too flash from the match either with a few of their players in hospital.

    Not at all!

    I am just getting happier each time the mighty ABs stumble, trusting (hoping) they will, yet again, fall just before the final hurdle. Due to the unbearable weight of expectation, in my opinion.

    So working on the logic of this - we need NZ to play France before the Wallabys in the RWC on the grounds that we need as many players as possible hospitalised - then all we need is some food poisoning in the English camp (actually they seem to be very good at injurying themselves so this is not necessary ) and because most of the Boks will not playing because they are too white - ergo the Wallabies have a chance what are the odds again 12-1

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    It's good to see at least all the injuries are hitting the one area in the locks which coincidentally is probably their biggest weakness to begin with. They'll probably have to play Flavell at lock for the Tri-Nations and if he or Jack get injured their going up the creek a bit.
