Pleased to see them kicking for goal.

Okay we had the penalty but far out Ratima do more than just kick it.

[Gunner]

If we kick the ball away again on attack I’m going to lose my shit:

[JayCee]

We just panicked there with the advantage

[Toddy]

Penalty advantage - why don't we keep it in hand and build pressure.

[sparky]

France schooling us in game management.

[Donsteppa]

Nice. Now the French have to chance their arm.

[canefan]

Even if we kick this, we will have to exit.

[Tim]

Very passive defence today. None of the starting loose forwards are strong tacklers. Vaa'i is much better in close.

[antipodean]

Why take three when that probably gives them possession in our half?

[AmberArmy]

Would France have been able to bring in a replacement if the winger didn’t go off with an HIA?

[JayCee]

French were a tad offside with that restart

[Darth Sader]

I guess too early to make this call definitively, but I was hoping to see more focus and intent from the second year in with this coaching team. Other than helter skelter, what’s the game plan?

Which usually means squeaky bum time for AB supporters….

[KiwiMurph]

Their kicking game is so much better than ours it isn't funny

Nothing kick from BB and we lose huge ground, put France hard on attack

Was just thinking that... how much of tonight is traditional first AB test rustiness, and how much is something deeper...
