"That is the massive danger zone we are going into. People do not expect them to perform well and that is when they are at their most dangerous. They have players who are capable of causing carnage out there."
England's Ben Foden talks up the French game. If it really is a massive danger zone, we hope they'll wear helmets and hi-viz vests.
"He, as well as the others, is not as good under pressure. It's down to us to show more aggressiveness so that he doesn't put his team forward."
Is French flanker Julien Bonnaire calling saying Jonny Wilkinson, the same guy who kicked a World Cup winning drop-goal with his weaker foot, not good under pressure?
"What an opportunity for Colin Slade and Aaron Cruden. Crudes can't get the smile off his face. One man's misery is another man's joy."
Steve Hansen on Aaron Cruden's case of shadenfreude.
"Not only is he a great rugby player, but he's a fantastic person off the field, as well. (Springbok captain) John Smit said he's the only rugby player he'd let his daughter go out with."
Bryan Habana gives Pat Lambie some big wraps and the green light to make a move on Smit's daughter.
Here's the
lowdown on this weekend's meteorological happenings

"They were written off before and during the games. They had nothing to lose, went for it, and look what happened."
Martin, in New Zealand there's an unwritten law forbidding you to bring up those matches, thank you very much.
"The initial prognosis on Dan wasn't positive at all. It was very likely we were going to give him 48 hours and probably have to send him home.
"I've already commentated on the fact that he didn't sleep for 72 hours, icing his leg every two hours. It's shown to us what a great kid he is and what a fantastic professional in terms of being able to prepare himself and getting back available for selection."
"They are a proud rugby nation, they keep producing one massive lock after another - they have a production line there.

"Danie (Rossouw) is a great player. He's an excellent ball carrier and he is just as big and just as physical and has almost played as many Tests (as Botha) so they won't miss him that much."

"I don't think it's just this year's workload, it's a continuation of a workload. Rugby league players get 16 weeks to get rid of all their niggles and have a pre-season. I think Rugby Union has four or five weeks before they've got to go back into work. I don't think it's much different in the northern hemisphere to be honest. We need a global season and the only people who can do that are the IRB."

"That was the worst part of my day yesterday. At training when Bakkies came down in the first lineout he injured himself again. Sadly for myself, and I think for Bakkies too, it might mean that his tournament will be over now.
"To look in his face last night wasn't the best thing to do, but that's reality, that's life, this is what we get and we just have to move on."
"We have to be smart and play with our heart and lots of passion."
- Argentina wing Horacio Agulla thinks playing with your head and your heart is the way to beat the All Blacks. Where do hands fit in though?
"If you go out to meet your family and friends after a game for a beer that's your own thing, but obviously you're not going to go mental."
-
So, no dwarves, weird bouncers or hook-ups with ex-girlfriends for Ireland openside flanker Sean O'Brien then.

''But there are constant reminders that this is a tough sport, and those blokes who miss out through injury, well, you do feel for them.''

"I agree completely! He is an exciting player with a great boot and superior agility."

"I love this idea. Like Carter, Dagg has rock solid composure and creates time and space."
"You're stark raving mad. Now is definitely not the time to experiment"
"Cory Jane. He has played first five for Heretaunga College and Upper Hutt."
We're currently investigating whether that last comment came from Cory Jane himself.
That's all we have time for at Latest Updates. See you back here bright and early tomorrow for another day packed with Rugby World Cup news as it breaks.

"On receiving notification of the charges, the Union made every effort to contact Eliota, instruct him of the charges and inform him of the hearing details.
"Contact was attempted via telephone and social media and attempts were made to determine his location. Despite repeated contact attempts, his appearance on New Zealand television and his apparent location in Auckland, the Union and the team are yet to hear from Eliota since the team dispersed in the weekend. The team are continuing to try and contact Eliota."
The statement goes on to say the Union supports the disciplinary process, and will continue to try to contact Fuimaono Sapolu.
