RWC Week 1: France v All Blacks
-
@KiwiMurph said in RWC: France v All Blacks:
Why are we so afraid to go open?
The French have their first up tackler rushing, even on the short side. There is opportunity there if we can be clean with the ball.
We have certainly created enough opportunities. Cut down the errors and we are making metres.
Field position is critical in these conditions.
-
Disappointing game, from both sides. These never seem to live up to the expectations. Don't get the whinging about peyper. From a neutral perspective he's given the French nothing.
-
How many seconds after the ref calls use it does the 9 have. Du pont seems to take an age with the caterpillar.
-
Happy enough with that. De Groot has gifted points and peyper has made 2 wrong ruck calls.
BB is having a great game as touch finders are the right option. Telea also great. Scott Barrett and Paps going well. France missing Ntamack imo.
-
Jaco been largely good.
French cyncial with time wasting but Jaco appears to be on to it.
cleaning out needs a big improvement!
We need tot run them from touch line to touch line.. not constant short side....

He can't keep up and that's only going to hurt one team. You're been magnificent O'Peyper but it's time to step down.

Missed an illegal clean on Barrett and gave the French a very kickable bullshit penalty.

I haven't seen much whinging at all. Haven't been here often?

Really? In a 30 degree night it's a good game
-
So far, so good on the scoreboard. Too many errors though and Ethan De Groot not having a game to remember.
BB's kicking improved markedly in the 2nd 20, Paps having a really good game and RM combining really well with Telea.

@canefan Reckon we got to keep the ball moving. Keep those big forwards running. They want to kick and scrum. Let's put some pace on it.

I can’t wait until Roigard comes on and works his magic around the ruck against this tiring French outfit…. Oh wait.

Haven’t been reading the thread, so unsure what the whinging is about. I think he’s been good, however probably being too lenient with the French slowing tactics, and DuPont taking an age to clear from rucks.

Can't help but feel this is a rope-a-dope from France. They aren't doing anything but kicking for distance and the ABs are running everything. For sure they're making all the play and look good doing so but the opportunity was lost to go for a try when hard on France line and went for three. They've basically kicked the ball away and still lead.
