What the fuck was that Bridge. Jogging back, or was that his top speed?

[taniwharugby]

Well seems like my decison to do something other than watch this game was the right one...

[98blueandgold]

I dont think we (The Fern) should blame the players as I think this is just highlighting issues that we have since 2015. As a nation I think we need to look at how we are developing our players, especially forwards and game plans. We need to emphasise size and power and develop our kicking strategies. winning super rugby or playing exciting rugby at ITM just is cutting it for us. (maybe over reaction! )

Mo’unga doesn’t cut it for me at test level. He’s looking clueless out there.

I'm sorry, I'm just not seeing the AB quality in George Bridge.
Then again, I'm not sure what is AB quality watching this game.

Worst half of All Black Test Rugby since the RWC Semi Final in 1999. Appalling.

[Victor Meldrew]

We are not protecting the ball carrier. France is walking all over us at the breakdown.

Is this your first game ?

SF in panic mode.

[nostrildamus]

France offside? Very up..

[Donsteppa]

Hilariously bad. Almost as if this was an Ian Foster coached Chiefs side. Imagine if there was a precedent for that…

[98blueandgold]

If you watch this phase we have two lots of forwards runners and then nothing! both times first receivers have to play individually, no forwards in sight. what is our plan!!!!????

our plan is to reappoint Foster to the next RWC. Go figure.

At least we have been consistent in territory, ball control, impact, basic skills... Oh..

Cane doesn’t look ready for a game like this. Not selecting Papali’i on the bench means it’s hard to sub him

[sparky]

Retallick knocks on with the line open.

[Yeetyaah]

@sparky that was on Dane Coles tbf

[nzzp]

was that a seatbelt tackle on Coles? Where's the TMO this week?

[Victor Meldrew]
