France v All Blacks

[taniwharugby]

Why was that a penalty and not a free kick

[Gunner]

@Stargazer said in France:

Argggg Smith

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

[Donsteppa]

@dingo said in France:

I would have kicked the 3

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 ....

Really shitty captaincy from Read. We needed to get some reward for the possession we had, and it was right there with 10 left.

@Donsteppa 3 meant they had to score 2 tries

[chimoaus]

This half back has his hands on it for a long time before removing from ruck.

Read seemed to get a free pass last week only because it was Rattue to fire the first shot at him

[No Quarter]

That'll do. Good win, to finish a fucking great season. Well played All Blacks.

[chimoaus]

Great season from the ABs with only 1 loss. Plenty to work on before the Lions but have a nice rest boys.

[dingo]

ABs seemed to have run out of puff this EOYT. That and and the incredibly infectious stupid penalties disease.

[mariner4life]

Great game, probably my favourite test of the year. Well played France, on another day that result could have gone the other way.

[Tim]

Aaron Smith, who is in horrible form, needs to stop appealing for fucking penalties all the fucking time, and play the ball.

Shithouse captaincy from Read not to take the kick.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Rather meh performance. Hate those stupid little farking kicks.

[Tordah]

didn't quite agree with the tactics of constantly trying to kick it behind the defence, some of the cross kicks were fine, but the little chips in midfield, nah, no fan.
Also, both halfbacks were hassled too much, needed more protection from the forwards. Not a great game by the loose trio (except Todd) IMO

[Mokey]

@Tim yeah, that could have been a bad misjudgement, especially with the French kicking so well.

Yeah, but for a Goldenballs length of the field intercept...
