They could bring Luku and Jaliber and Peno and others there down to New Zealand and really have a go.
The stadium looked magnificent.
The best pre-match pageantry in rugby with Jean de Marseillaise and the Haka.
And then another thing that really struck me about both that match and the Ireland-Australia game, but particularly New Zealand-France, is just when you've got two running out halves.
who like have the pace of wieners and whose first instinct is to run or pass the ball.
And how much that electrifies those around them.
I was trying really hard to watch the All Blacks, but I couldn't take my eyes off Matthew Jalaberry.
He's just so brilliant to watch.
It was a captivating game.
And the lead changed hands five times there and was five tries to four.
And then you're straight over way to the Wallabies in Ireland and the lead changed hands seven times and it's five tries each.
I think the organisers couldn't have dreamed for a better start, could they?
at the minute what I would say is that they've invested heavily in Sam Prendergast he's won a 17th cap at the weekend he's still only 23 and that's 17 caps more than Johnny Sexton won at the same age you compare and contrast with Carter Gordon who's only winning his 10th cap and he's 25 years of age for Australia and that's the one they're pinning their hopes on you compare Carter Gordon has more of a running game than Sam Prendergast
But which of them had the better game on Saturday?
No question, Sam Prendergast, because there's more to Red Half play than just running.
Gordon had some lovely footwork.
He did a real good running threat, but his game management was nowhere near as good.
Their exits weren't nearly as good.
Prendergast, his spiral bomb at the start of the second half, his pinning the penalties to within five metres of the corner flag with the consistency that no other Red Half in the world does.
The variety of his kicking game and his passing game, the double pump, as you say, for Nick Timoney.
