It looks like the All Blacks are chasing a fast-paced game to stretch the big French pack in Saturday's Rugby World Cup opener in Paris. With Dalton Papali'i given a start on the blindside to act in concert with skipper Sam Cane on the openside and the ever-present Ardie Savea at No8, the All Blacks have the firepower to win the breakdown race that will be necessary to stretch the big French men.
Hope the Barnes guy is busy elsewhere on Saturday!
