France v All Blacks

[mariner4life]

I think Barnes has been excellent

[Stargazer]

@mariner4life More of a mixed bag, I'd say.

[dingo]

I would have kicked the 3

i agree, not faultless, but consistent

[kiwiinmelb]

not sure i wouldve gone for the scrum

[antipodean]

We just don't want to carry it in the midfield do we?

[broughie]

More direct now and making an impact and keeping the ball.

[mariner4life]

French tackling is accurate and aggressive and we've had to work for everything

[Tordah]

idiotic by Ardie

[Gunner]

Hahahaha Barnes.
72 minutes before you call not staying on feet at ruck? Bloody frogs been off their feet all day.

[dingo]

That was an example of inconsistency - plenty of French have piled in over the top all match, now he blows a penalty.

Penalties for grabbing the half back is another example of inconsistency

[Stargazer]

Argggg Smith

[Donsteppa]

Concentration and decision making levels: at the beach with a beer in hand...

[taniwharugby]

Why was that a penalty and not a free kick

[Gunner]

Not his fault, who was he prick that threw the awful pass from the top of the lineout?

[Donsteppa]

@dingo said in France:

It's looking like an even dumber decision to turn down the 3 now.

[taniwharugby]

Haha one Irish comms having a go at the cheap shot by Savea, the other saying it was fine.

Now its squeky bum time

[Crash]

@taniwharugby These fuken wanky comms really give me the shits

[Nepia]

The French lineout reminds me of ours in the early 00s.

Is saying Barnes' having a good game an attempt to be edgy? The guy is just all over the show, it doesn't matter if it's against us or against France he's a lottery and I don't think anyone has an idea what is going on at ruck time.

At least Peyper was consistent - he just penalised everytime ....
