RWC Week 1: France v All Blacks

[Gunner]

Shit discipline.
Shit ball handling.
Shit ball security at rucks.
Shit kicking.

A couple of nice tries but not a lot else to like unfortunately.

And that penalty on Jordan for taking the player out in the air, when he was the one taken out was absolute garbage.

[MN5]

Well done France.

[taniwharugby]

Discipline will go a long way to winning the RWC, we don't have it, French discipline and patience was excellent

[Paekakboyz]

ugh, that was a rough watch in the second half. France deserved the win.

[Joans Town Jones]

I said it in the first half. This is a rope-a-dope. Other than the first 10 mins, they just kicked the ball deep and the ABs said "maybe this time we'll get it back" or I'll run it from my own line". Time and time again. I can't wait for the presser. "In many ways this was our best test. Foster, just PHUCK OFF. NZRU, would Razor had done any worse? Phucking embarrassment.

[Paekakboyz]

@taniwharugby accuracy as well!!

[kiwiinmelb]

Horrible second half by us , depressing

Good by the frogs

[Duluth]

Should’ve had a good lead at halftime. We made them miss a lot of tackles but didn’t finish well

Second half was a mess

[ACT Crusader]

When you have opportunities you need to put scoreboard pressure on in the that first 40 because the home side wil always make a run in the second 40

[Machpants]

France a much better team. Congrats too them and they'll be in the final

Only 4 more games of the foster era, thank fuck

[Stargazer]

Congrats to France. Won the game in the 2nd half.

I expected the French to win, so not too disappointed (as far as you can not be disappointed after an AB loss).

I actually expected France to be more dominant. They scored mostly off our mistakes, not because they created much.

[Steve]

There was no dry powder.

This team has nothing.

I think a few old heads need to be culled and he has to roll the dice.

Id launch Beaudy, Mo'unga, Vaai, ALB,Nepo, Christie for a start.

Give me DMAC. Move Jordan to 15. Roigard has to be in.

And get Finau or Blackadder in the squad immediately.

[Kruse]

Well done Bleus.
Wish I was in France, congratulating some French hotties, and allowing them to console me.

[mariner4life]

Absolutely smacked
France won thr kicking
France won the set piece
France won the contact

ABs made errors. ABs gave away penalties. ABs decision makers were terrible.
We're fucking cooked. Send us home

[Chris]

@kiwiinmelb

A shit second half is a given these days for the ABs.

[gt12]

Two people who need much greater criticism: Schmidt and Ryan.

They continue to select for and play this game.

France didn't anything other than kick deep. All they needed to do. Our braindead team and tactics tried to run/short kick from our 22. Phucked up and France pinned us back down again. They didn't play until deep into the 2nd half. All the territory was from long kicks.

[Bovidae]

I'm putting the responsibility on the players for the 2nd half. They are the ones that kicked poorly and gave away too many stupid penalties.

[taniwharugby]

@gt12 I am more critical of the tactics than personell...we were fucking dumb.

[sparky]

The reality is that this AB team is very poor. I think Italy have a chance of denying us a Quarter Final spot.
