All Blacks v France Test #2
-
@mariner4life My point is that before the yellow card it was an absorbing test and for the first 50 minutes I don't think AB fans would have been thinking "shit, this is boring".

It was absorbing for sure, close enough for me to question San Whitelock 's captaincy credentials even.

@kiwimurph I'm not sure that really responds to anything i have said.
Did you think we were going to lose? It was only close because we kept fucking up the opportunities we were creating. The rugby itself wasn't great either.
We scored 50 points. Do you think a yellow, no matter how harsh, is a reasonable excuse for a so-called top level team to ship 50 points in a test? Especially when the opposition play like shit for half of the game.
Do you think this week will be much different? -

Do you think this week will be much different?@mariner4life for the first test of the year I thought the rugby was good.
I thought before the yellow card the french defense was very good and the ABs lacked ball runners.
I didn't say the yellow card was an excuse but the card ended up having a huge impact on the game. Take the card out of the equation and I don't think we "fucking murder them" in the end.

I would note that there were a shit load of people here freaking out and losing their shit during those vital group matches against Namibia and Georgia.
