All Blacks v France I

[Darth Sader]

We’re not taking the high ball well thus far

[ACT Crusader]

Spacing off and guys getting in the way

[ACT Crusader]

Excellent kick.

[taniwharugby]

@Darth-Sader or chasing.

Seems a bit robotic, oh I must pass to a forward before.contact.

[antipodean]

Doesn't look good when a lock is inaccurate with the clean and can't dislodge a winger.

[ACT Crusader]

This snake ruck stuff is taking the proverbial.

[Jet]

Beaudy just kicking away the pill.

[antipodean]

We're not attracting defenders before popping the ball to stationary players.

[Victor Meldrew]

Very rusty so far. Expected I guess

[Darth Sader]

France defensive line shaped very well against us so far. We’ll have to get the right mix of kicking and tight channel ball in hand to break them down

[NTA]

Monster kick

[Jet]

Lads getting ball and man simultaneously in midfield.

[KiwiMurph]

Something not talked about enough is how poor NZ players are under the high ball in general.

Not exactly Dagg and Jane

[ACT Crusader]

The ball seems to holding up in the air as every high kick has been misread for both distance and timing.

[Yeetyaah]

Holy shit can we take a fucking kick

[sparky]

Le Garrec's kicking game is outstanding.

ABs very mediocre so far.

[JayCee]

@antipodean situation like this I wish we started Tupaea. Strong carries to get some structure back.

[steelpotato]

Vaai slow off the scrum there

[ACT Crusader]

Put the box kick away. We are getting no distance on them.
