Can we stop the BB slander and not forget that Proctor has been the reason for 10 of their points?

True , but he has 135 caps.
That sort of stuff just won’t fly in the big games.
It’s low percentage stuff.
It has to be called out. It’s fundamental.

Our loose trio playing pretty well. Each playing a distinct role.
Holland’s size and presence in the lineout is great to have.
We’ve created a lot of quick ball which has been pleasing. We haven’t always used it well but it means guys are working hard at ruck time.
-
I can’t overstate how much I prefer Reiko on the wing. Shame Proctor’s making a meal of it in the midfield.
-
Liking what the newbies are bringing, BB doing some good stuff then his dumb kicks...
I think Proctor sets too close to JB, giving an extra yard of space to the French.
Liking Ioane back at 11.
Need to hit them straight after the break and really let loose.

@ACT-Crusader CLW doing really well.

A few more players should go to Ireland on Sabbatical rather than Japan it seems.
Rieko will hopefully come back stronger

So...
Quite like what we're doing apart from the lack of patience. Just slow down a smidge. Go like fuck when it's on, but be patient ... like that last try.
21-13. Reasonable reflection if not slightly flattering to France.
Vaa'i misses one down the blind.
Have we got a centre? Or was he the guy that waved in the Frog try?
Holland is a fucking unit.
Lineout good.
Scrum good.
Patience Grasshoppers, patience.

Lio Willie is a good foil for Ardie, I think. He’s industrious without being flashy.

Who is next to line at 13 after Proctor and Rieko?

@Tim said in All Blacks v France I:
Great ruck speed
A couple of our tight forwards have upped their involvement in the last 5-7 minutes. Plus Ardie more involved in attack.
@ACT-Crusader Caught a replay of that ruck, it was Taylor and Ioane on the spot with clean out
-
Some thoughts:
Good leadership when 10-0 down
Focussed - didn't fold when things went wrong
Very settled after 20 minutes
BB;s kicking is an issue
Proctor having a 'mare but improved by half-time
Loosies combining well - pretty outstanding as it's a new combo -

Ennor I assume?

Just on the replay of some of the highlights, the French centre has also waved through his fair share of black jerseys too.
