All Blacks v France, 2021 NH Tour

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..

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

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?

[Victor Meldrew]

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.

[Tordah]

Easy to find the positives:

• lineout
• scrum
• this fucking season is over in 40 mins

[kev]

French playing awesome. We are making errors.

[chimoaus]

Well played France. At least Foster has been shown by Ireland and France how you actually play rugby. Let's hope he takes notice.

[No Quarter]

A try before the break would have been nice...

All we can do is try and keep this respectable really. We don't have the gas in the tank to pull this back, let alone the right gameplan.

[gt12]

Stupidly, I got out of bed to roll in and see France’s 3rd try.

Now I’m too angry to go back.

This is the worst side I can remember since my teens.

Sadly, I’m not sure we have the players to be anything more than a top five side anymore.

I can handle losing occasionally but being totally dominated is difficult to take

Who gets sacked first, Solskjær or Foster?
