What do you reckon our chances are against the French?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

ANALYSIS: In a first test of the year that could conceivably not have featured any debutants, the All Blacks could well now run two in the loose forwards alone, as Wallace Sititi’s injury puts Scott Robertson’s best-laid plans up in smoke for the series against France.

Sititi, last year’s World Breakthrough Player of the Year as well as All Blacks Player of the Year, was last week ruled out of the three-test series due to a high-ankle injury that requires surgery.

What do you reckon our chances are against the French? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
