AB Test Team v France.

[rotated]

Gardner has exercised absolutely no control over the niggle all game, shows an absolute unwillingness to penalise any French nonsense then acts completely befuddled that things are escalating.

Not sure who the 2 comms are for Rugby pass, but they are muppets

Possibly the same ones we are getting in the UK for Premier Sports (which I had to sign up to just for one game, the fuckers).
For the first 20 minutes we just had the refs mike which was more entertaining

He sounds posh Welsh

Any ideas?

Is there such a thing?

[Virgil]

Straight throw there

Pom commentary suggesting hes turning into a good 'un.
Its been the Angus show hasn't it?

[Toddy]

Hopefully it's the cool headed TJP that's come on and not Flapanara.

Reverses one foul play pen but not the other

[hydro11]

France lose that ball forward and then kill it. How is that not a penalty to us?

[No Quarter]

The last 20 minutes has been club level footy from both sides. Poor handling, bad decision making, just messy as fuck.

[Gunner]

@crucial the ref and the ABs deserve every bit of criticism they’ve received. It’s hard to know who of the two has been worse this half

[JC]

Both teams equally shit at the moment.

Penalty try, that fat tub of lard in the blue 13 jersey prevented a try by playing a certain try scorer without the ball

Oh, come on! No fat shaming here! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Mokey]

Angus has been far too kind toward the shit French scrum this half.

[chimoaus]

I wonder how many halves we have lost this year? We have had some shockers.

[taniwharugby]

@chimoaus especially 2nd halves...which we used to own

[Crucial]

We are simply losing our cool out there.
The upshot is though that when we played well we made more points than we have given when making mistakes.
I know everyone will think I'm simply white knighting DMac but his good plays made more points than his errors gave away. That's a positive return.

[JC]

One of my takeaways from this game is that Romano looks to be an excellent scrumming lock. Another is that we should be playing Matt Todd as often as possible

[Victor Meldrew]

@donsteppa It's both. The Ref looks to be panicking and teh AB's are playing like shit

[westcoastie]

I do not want to see Beaudy going back to 15. Our bench balance is wrong. We're missing Ben Smith, Dagg & Jordie Barrett in that regards.

[chimoaus]

@crucial Any AB 15 should be able to catch and pass and run support. The mistakes and poor decision making he brings is not suited to this level imo.
