    These are the worst All Black loose forwards since 2002.

      Crotty's worst game in black for some time in one of the worst AB displays for years.

      At this rate, I'm going to invest in some hair-dryer futures

      We mentally checked out after the red. Shame France never scored that early try to shock us into action

        FFS is Ardie going to do anything this game? How the fuck is that lazy fluffybunny an All Black?

        He's actually busy, but entirely ineffectual

        Reminds me of Adam Thompson, busy, seen everywhere on the field, but achieves relatively little for all the endeavour at this level

            Or getting shunted back trying to make tackles. Hopeless

                Not one of the loose forwards in this 23 are All Black quality.

                Except Cane, but he seems to be carrying an injury or something.

                Cane aside, no dominant and accurate defenders, no quality ball carriers. No physical dominance.

                    Astounding that Akira can't get a gig given the lack of quality.

                      I’m sick of the bullshit headlines and crap articles that we’ll see this week already.

                      French robbed
                      All Blacks so poor that the Fench would have won if not for a controversial red card
                      Refs in ABs pockets
                      Aura Broken
                      Blah blah blah usual bullshit.

                      Flush the funny, make a couple of changes to prove a point and bring on next week.

                        The old saying: "The best forward is the one rarely seen and whose name is never mentioned " comes to mind.

                              Shit just realised I’m recording this game, excuse me while I unplug mysky throw it into my boot and drive down to the nearest boat ramp, where I’ll release the handbrake and roll the car into the water before walking back home..

                                So who leaves this game with head held high? Jordie Barrett? ALB? Can't really think of anyone else who has been overall good.

                                    Cane is usually. But barely last week, and definitely not this week

                                          The 15 was dicing with death. If he'd survived that RC he seemed intent on employing the tactic so who knows
