France v All Blacks

@kiwiinmelb
Yeah, it was a good turn, but he's been caught out coming off his wing a couple of times.

Good start by Savea.

Rucks are a proper mess. At least we seem to have adapted to Barnes early.

Haha "New Zealand really do sail close to the edge of the rules" straight after the French have given away a penalty

antipodean

Brilliant from Todd.

He's having a very good game thus far.

Savea looks in best condition he has been all year. A month off fried chicken seems to have done the trick. Let's hope he looks that way next year.

Mokey

Haha to Wayne Barnes' "franglais" as TJ so eloquently put it. ABs look good with ball in hand.

mariner4life

Again we score almost as soon as we get the ball. Skewing the possession stat

Jeez this gate at the breakdowns is pretty bent...

Some very poor misses out there....another through the side gate

Gunner

Jeez this gate at the breakdowns is pretty bent...

Staying on your feet seems entirely optional too.

Stargazer

Dagg's boot. Awesome.

chimoaus

TJ sure cleans up well on D.

chimoaus

Fuk me the lineout throwing is not exactly straight.
So far.

taniwharugby

How did Barnes not notice that wasn't straight?

chimoaus

Love the flair of the French so far, their ball exchanges are a joy to watch.

Nepia

How did Barnes not notice that wasn't straight?

That's maybe the most obvious not straight I've ever seen in rugby.

Tordah

so so many linebreaks, France look good and then somehow scramble defence is just enough to hold them out

booboo

What the hell is Charlie Faumuina doing playing for Fance?

Stargazer

Crotty and ALB tackling like their lives depend on it!

dingo

Looks like they actually pulled Moody into the ruck and then lay on him, rather than him not rolling away

mariner4life

France playing great, the offloads are hurting us badly. And their 2nd line of attack coming from behind other players.

We're reorganising well but again so much defending
