All Blacks v France, 2021 NH Tour

[broughie]

So we find the solution then start our side to side back play. WTF.

[gt12]

This is unfair on Dmac. Give him 10 minutes at 10 to try and win the game? How about pulling Mo’unga 10 minutes ago?

[sparky]

Nothing like being put under pressure to learn which have your backs have got it. Reiko Ioane superb tonight. Mo'unga and Havili not so much.

[chimoaus]

Funny is the TMOs mic broken this week. He was heavily involved previous weeks.

[Toddy]

Jordies first half shocker and the failure to tackle Ntamack probably the difference between losing and winning.

[Damo]

Are we just too tired at the end of the season? Our play is lacking the crispness we normally see.

[No Quarter]

Couple of great plays from Mo'unga there. Kicks it away aimlessly, then when we get the ball back fires a pass at the feet. All class.

It's hard for me to say, but why did they sub off Bridge? Rieko and Clint were playing great in MF. Havili and Moounga both playing poorly

Bridge is still out there. I think they subbed Will Jordan

Jourdan went off injured. Calf.

The French player was adjusting the refs comms earlier...

We should have put him at 10 at half time. He's much better 10 at test level than Mo'unga.

[African Monkey]

@no-quarter Yeah. I want to like them but the same things happen year after year. The Crusaders win Super Rugby, everyone forgets that they've been found out at test level in the past, we pick them again, they do the same shit that doesn't work and rinse and repeat.

[Hooroo]

The classic defensive bomb! That’s an interesting tactic

So much better when they don't get involved

Ian Foster is Leigh Hart.

[Billy Tell]

QT has been fine. ST is a real find. Ioane has made good yards. Otherwise meh.

[gt12]

Jesus, scrum.

[Steven Harris]

Game over now

The question is, will Foster and Co take the hint? I'm not sure they will

[No Quarter]

That really was an amazing comeback though. That breakout from in their goaline (Mo'unga missing an easy tackle) resulting in a YC to Ardie was an absolute game changer.
