France v All Blacks

booboo

Long advantage there compared to very short one the other way to us 1st half

mariner4life

We just keep giving them the ball.

Love the french running from deep, their offloads keep hitting a guy at pace and it's causing no end of trouble

Gunner

Man we do some dumb fuck shit.

ACT Crusader

One of those ones where the halfback has his hands on the ball but "it's not out". ALB penalised.

Need to be careful , barnes likes dishing out yellows

@booboo think it was because of where the offense occurred which was back in the 22

Crash

Why is BB persisting with those bloody chips - we're just playing right into french hands literally

@ACT-Crusader
Same thing just before when TJ was reaching for ball but Barnes just laughed

mariner4life

Their new halfback is nippy

taniwharugby

Time for Kaino to have a rest?

Our defensive lineout gives me the horn

Hmmm, easily aroused you are

ACT Crusader

Why is BB persisting with those bloody chips - we're just playing right into french hands literally

Because the French defensive line is very compressed and flat.

dingo

If we are going to persist with these short kicks then A Savea's pace might be useful

Nepia

Hmmm, I've only just realised R Ioane is on for Crotty and not Naholo/Savea ....

Good tight match to start your test career.

Yp too upright, and a bit off the pace.

Nepia

Hahaha the commentator just said "difficult to know what Barrett is going to do".

Nope, he's going to kick it ....

dingo

The rucks are so scrappy TJ's strength just outweighs his less than spectacular pass

taniwharugby

Barnes giving the French a lot of space to harass TJ

Stargazer

Great game from Todd; A Savea now on.
Dagg off injured. Cruds on at 10, BB moves to fullback.

Stargazer

Try Charlie!
