All Blacks v France Test #2

weren't the French the last team to beat us in NZ or was that just last team to win at EP?

@taniwharugby Eden park. We lost to the Lions last year. Before that, South Africa in 2009 (our annus horribilis).
Australia hasn't won in NZ since 2001 according to espn stats.

They beat us in Dunners in 2009 (before the SA loss).

Would love to blow up, but all the players i was so pissed about last week were actually really good so...
Now I'll blow up about the French. Last week was their best chance and we fucking murdered them. I can't see us winning this by less than 20. Next week will most likely be a bloodbath unless we rotate everyone. The part of me that misses the feeling of "shit, i hope we win this weekend" leading up to tests is growing every year. The rest of the world might be right, there is skulduggery going on, we shouldn't still be winning like this.

I'm just going to go ahead and assume you are just parroting the rubbish narrative created (yellow card was shit though)

@mariner4life My point is that before the yellow card it was an absorbing test and for the first 50 minutes I don't think AB fans would have been thinking "shit, this is boring".

It was absorbing for sure, close enough for me to question San Whitelock 's captaincy credentials even.

@kiwimurph I'm not sure that really responds to anything i have said.
Did you think we were going to lose? It was only close because we kept fucking up the opportunities we were creating. The rugby itself wasn't great either.
We scored 50 points. Do you think a yellow, no matter how harsh, is a reasonable excuse for a so-called top level team to ship 50 points in a test? Especially when the opposition play like shit for half of the game.
Do you think this week will be much different? -

I thought before the yellow card the french defense was very good and the ABs lacked ball runners.
I didn't say the yellow card was an excuse but the card ended up having a huge impact on the game. Take the card out of the equation and I don't think we "fucking murder them" in the end.
