All Blacks v France Test #1

[Virgil]

Not a bad 2nd half, 44-0 to the Men in Black

[Tim]

Clear no try.

Ref has been good except for failing to use the TMO.

[Kirwan]

Ref is going to cringe on a few of these decisions.

[broughie]

So what did the Fat Bastard do to early the captaincy?

[ShadowTrooper]

@act-crusader How many times have we seen that though (not sying that it is right)

No try. Kind of a bullshit decision actually. And just for once Marshall knows the applicable law.

[kev]

Pace of game told. YC added to momentum and added some margin. ABs should kick less or better.

[Wally]

9 of the 23 from 4 schools

Not many I’d say.

[Hooroo]

I am really liking our blindside flanker at the moment. Solid as fuck.

DMac is the perfect super sub

Forwards got a good workout from the French tonight.

[Stargazer]

Final score: 52 - 11. Flattering the ABs, due to some dodgy calls. Well-deserved win though; no doubt they earned it.

[broughie]

@crucial ALB has some dropsies but he was not too bad. Always seems to make yards. First test jitters.

[kiwiinmelb]

Some nice impact off the bench , been lacking in that area the last couple of years

[Tim]

How did the Blues miss Karl Tu'inukuafe? Hanks must be useless.

[MrDenmore]

The yellow card decision was ropy, but would it have reversed the eventual outcome? An emphatic NO.

First time I've seen it 5 metres out

I am afraid that I thought the ref was average. 3 critical decisions that he clearly got wrong. On the plus side, all those decisions went in our favour, so that is a mitigating factor.

Think the ref had been fairly good overall.

He controls the game pretty well. Did I hear he hasn’t been reffing 1st tier tests for long?

Should’ve gone upstairs to check the high tackle.

[Tordah]

France offered nothing in attack and just gave up on defence when the YC was issued. I don't think the margin flattered the ABs at all. France was shit. Even shittier than the ABs were in the first half, but for the whole game.
