    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.

    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?

          So much space out there for us when we have the ball, I'm optimistic

            Peyper needs to have some balls and not stop play so often.

              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.

                            Our scrum is a concern looking forward

                              Well as @Damo said above we should be front.

                              The expected French dominance isn't happening.

                              I was thinking we were losing the kicking duels, but the last couple we've won with the touch finders.

                              Fine margins here. Can go either way.

                                The tactic of a quick throw in followed by a midfield bomb is not working. Cut that shit out

                                  I think it has been overblown a wee-bit. Atonio did de Groot the first time, but the second one, it seemed like de Groot had the advantage, before slipping/totally losing his bind. It is hardly like we have been blown backwards.

                                    Subs will be crucial, particularly the front row. Laulala has been better than de Groot but neither will last long in the 2nd half.

                                      @frugby the second one he was so wide/angling in that he either need to good forward fast or he was going to get called

                                        I reckon both teams looked really nervous early on. Even with us scoring that try.

                                        I quite like our attack.

                                        The benches and what they provide will determine this game given the conditions.

                                          France looking a bit disjointed in midfield without Danty in there, AB's making easy metres through there.
