    @Hooroo well he seems consistent, which is all you really want even if he is letting everyone do what they want at the breakdown

        Are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.

        I just got a 503 overload when I tried to refresh ... surely we've got low numbers on this morning compared with a RC or RWC match.

            the frustrating part of this tour has been watching us play on scraps of possession

                  That comment randomly from nowhere ...

                    The offload in the tackle caused the Aussies real issues last week and the Fijians before them.

                    What I like from the French is that the support players are coming from depth and with pace.

                    A couple of AB forwards guilty of grabbing at jersies.

                            I liked how he immediately waved off the Matt Todd "high tackle" about 37 mins in, when the Frenchie just fell into Todd's arm

                                  A good half of rugby to watch, although a number of areas to work on. I think we improved our defense by not chasing turnovers (opportunities are there, but not enough) and getting more guys across the field.

                                  France's attack is fun to watch, and is making some real problems for us to solve.

                                  Right now, I'd like us to try and get the ball and hold on to it for a bit. This French team isn't really one that we should give that much ball...

                                      Good game this. French playing well.

                                      Haha are they serious? The commentators and halftime panel are deliberately not calling us the All Blacks? We've got them mind fucked

                                      We need to play a few more phases and make them make more decisions. We are actually making good yards and half opportunities every time we get it, but too many turnovers.

                                      We're beating them in close, but their forwards as a pack are getting around the track better than us.

                                          Agree, this has been an issue for us for some time, we just give away the pill too often.

                                          I have noticed the Irish and French loosies seem to have a fair bit of pace with the ball, makes Kaino and Read look a little slow?
