RWC Week 1: France v All Blacks
-
I can’t wait until Roigard comes on and works his magic around the ruck against this tiring French outfit…. Oh wait.
-
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.

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.

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

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.

Interesting contest , both teams making errors
Our scrum is a concern looking forward
-
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.

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.
-
Subs will be crucial, particularly the front row. Laulala has been better than de Groot but neither will last long in the 2nd half.
@Bovidae yep timing of the subs will be very crucial.
-
@KiwiMurph Very clear.

Have not noticed ALB either on defence or attack.
Not a criticism as such, but you'd hardly know he is playing.
