All Blacks v France Test #1

Luke Whitelock was superb.
@no-quarter yeah. I called him a poor man's Sam Cane but he actually played better than him tonight.

Grew into it. I still think if we play him and Cane we need Brodie and power at 6.

The frustrating thing about Squire is he's gone missing in every test against decent opposition. That isn't new. And you can bet your ass Akira would have made an impact on this match.

Ardie looked more knackered than him after 5 minutes

Very much doubt that the end result would have been different but two ref blunders really changed the pattern of the game.
I would sympathise with any grizzle from a French fan.
However if it was the ABs getting that bad YC I would expect them to deal with it better than France did. -
@rapido looked like Rieko eased back about 50m and then realised Thomas was still chasing so had to go again.

If the stars align, we will see Laumpape 12 Goodhue 13 during this series. Although Crotty was pretty decent I thought.
@billy-tell Crotty is solid, if healthy, I cant see him losing his place unless injured. Goodhue might have to wait.

In very surprising news, BB has only kicked 4/9.

The ABs aren't the ones throwing French lineouts away, either.

But the impetus to put the hammer down was the YC. They knew they had to take advantage.

@billy-tell tbf they were pretty wide.

I think it's more likely that ALB will lose his spot to Goodhue than Crotty.
