All Blacks v France
-
The 1st half was traditional AB rugby - controlled, disciplined and smart
The 2nd half was utter shite - again.
-
France were pretty good

They have an inordinate amount of athletic lumps knocking around.

So BB and Reece showed us what we already know and Love's stocks just rose at FB. I can see the interest in Proctor but he needs work defensively.
-
The referee was intent on coaching the offendig players at the ruck instead of blowing his whistle. Very poor display. Add to that his penchant of calling "use it" immediately after the ruck has formed, and that was a very bad performance from him.
Even test match between two good teams. Taking three at 75 minutes was an unbelievably stupid decision.@Tordah said in All Blacks v France:

Will Jordan same fuckup that cost us WC final.
Can't believe he doesn't get the same shit dmac would for his never ending knock ons shit passing and brain farts
-
Great test match. Awesome fun to watch. French defence was very good in the 2nd half., and they sorted their set piece.
We had enough chances but the last pass, the last breakdown, and yes the last decision cost us.
Yeah yeah, 3 in a row, how about come to NZ and play?

Upside: Roigard, Lakai, Aumua
Downsides: Reece, Scott Barrett, Jordan.
I have a sneaking suspicion you are more of a Canes fan than a Crusader one.

Were they?
We should have taken it away from them in the last quarter.

Fůck it. That should have been ours. But at least we're trending very well. Just get a test match 10 and a FB who isn't Will Jordan.

We've been "trending" for 2 years....the only top team we seem to be able to beat are Ireland.

We win that game with Dmac starting, would have been up by 30 first half when we had the momentum. Fukn dumb selections cost us the game.
And then we take off Roigard 50th min for some dumb reason.

The way that first half played out I agree, the way DMac plays we would have made a lot more of our possession

@nostrildamus Proctor needs work defensively? What?
DMac and Roigard should be our halves pairing. That game made it clear.
Jordan made some poor decisions too. Seemed pretty gassed.
-
That was very un all black like. We took 4 penalties in a row and turned down multiple chances to go ahead… that’s playing scared. Incredibly conservative decisions from Scott Barrett, scared decisions. You put yourself in a position to win backing your team to go ahead by scoring a try there.
4 penalties in a row while trailing… unheard of.
Our own worst enemy, multiple missed opportunities. Tough slog but credit to the French for getting the job done.

I have a sneaking suspicion we have lost four games this year because of Robertson picking too many of his Red n'Black chums.

French were good, but we left tries out there that would have taken it away. Roigard, Ardie very good. Conversely Reece very poor, Sititi a little off his magical best, Beaudy lacked variation but was ok. On balance, pretty disappointed not to win that.
