Pommie BaaBaa & Froggie XV

[nostrildamus]

I squirmed when I saw the starting lineup. Not got much confidence but the bench is interesting. Risky but interesting.

[Stargazer]

Can't wait for Aumua to do his thing in the 2nd half. Unleash him!

[nostrildamus]

Harris is on track to be my hatiest AB.

[Stargazer]

Oops, that was not so good from TKB. Forward pass. Half time: France 15 - 14 ABs

[chimoaus]

first half over, not a bad half from both sides. Abs just lacking polish with poor passing and some missed tackles.

Was Sopoaga not TKB that ended the first half with a forward pass

[KiwiMurph]

Entertaining game - well reffed.

Goodhue the standout imo - looks born to play 13.

Tkb and squire also strong.

Laumape with two poor cutout passes - needs to shelve that.

[kiwiinmelb]

Second half will be interesting,

I think we will run away with it if we get our share of possession ,

But won't see it , heading off to work , have to watch a replay later

[chimoaus]

Whitelock and Tamanivalu pick of first half for mine. TKB also very solid.

I think he was referring to the pass from the scrum that went behind the backline.

Bit of justice though..
After TKB's wild pass, he threw a forward pass which was basically the same as Sopoaga's but wasn't called

[Stargazer]

Whitelock playing and leading the squad well. TKB, Tamanivalu and Bird going well, too. But can't wait for a few of the reserves come on, particularly Aumua. Also, interested to see what Mo'unga can bring to this game.

@chimoaus Seta made a defensive boohoo for first French try. Second stringers standing up well to big French pack. Squire looking tasty.

Not really. It was a damned if you do, damned if you don't kinda thing. If he hadn't gone after that player in the midfield, they could have sliced through our defence at that spot. It was just good attacking play from the French.

[chimoaus]

Whitelock in everything. Abs with a scrum 5 out.

[Stargazer]

Come on boys, you should score from this!

[chimoaus]

This turf looks like that Melbourne pitch earlier in the year.

[chimoaus]

Scrum penalty against AB 5m out, lost opportunity there.

[Stargazer]

Well done by the Birdman! Turnover.

[chimoaus]

Great work by bird to go through lineout drive and kill the ball.
