Cudmore sneaked his way into a French huddle in the first half and was pushed away by some angry Frenchmen.

Commentary from the Guardian (you take on a British accent when you read it)

63 min Slimani off, Mas on. Le Roux takes the lineout at the back and the pack goes flying towards the line and, indeed, inside towards the posts. It’s stopped just short, so they go left to Bastareaud, who is brilliantly stopped! The centre looked to have far too much as he shrugged off Hearn, but Olmstead came around and smashed into Bastareaud to dislodge the ball.

Darn it, France with another try and successful conversion to make it 34-18.

71 min Dumoulin is on for Bastareaud. At this scrum, Tiedemann is penalised for going to ground; “FAHK!” he screams. Tales sticks the penalty into touch on the left, just six metres out. Good kick, that.

If I have one I am demanding a paternity test. But different strokes I guess

Well, poop.

Those damn vampires were biting in the scrum I bet

Would have been nice to end the tourney on a winning note - Oh well, that was a very tough group that Canada was drawn into, a little bit of luck and they could have come away with two wins.

All blacks try before the half v france

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Vine doesnt show smithstealing the lob kick but the end is good enough

After seeing the old Jonah Lomu RIP post I realized that I didn't post anything when Joost van der Westhuizen died.

Rest well brave champion, you were a great one. You showed a teenage kid from Toronto how a big scrum half can excel, and I'll never forget that. No one should have to go like you did. But I know you're having fun up there, you always did in life. Another thing we had in common
