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.

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…

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!!!!????

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

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?

Fuck me Bridge.

Comical stuff.

This post keeps coming up as the last post on the thread for me... Kinda fitting

[sparky]

Half time. France 24 New Zealand 6. Ugly, ugly stuff from the All Blacks. France look excellent.

No magic this week. Edwards defence special this week.
