Good opportunity for jackling practice

[Mr Fish]

Dumb from Kirifi.

@canefan To be fair, the forwards were excellent in the first 40. The backs are more meh.

I didn't watch the first half so I'll take your word for it

He's right. Forwards were on fire first half

I remember a time when our bench used to blow teams like this French one away. Sigh!

Agree, we have enough seniors and bright sparks to fill that role too… we should be punishing teams in the last 15

[canefan]

We are very much a first half team right now

[ACT Crusader]

DMac absolutely steamrolled.

[Frank]

Kirifi desperately trying to justify his selection by trying too hard to get a turnover.

[nostrildamus]

The French Bench are a different level.

[sparky]

Woki's done a great job since he's come on for the French.

[canefan]

Nice hit by big Jim

[canefan]

Not clinical enough. Mistakes have let them back into scoring position

[Kruse]

Fucking traitor irish coutts

[sparky]

Ho, ho. I guess we need to be happy with the win. Weird French selection gifted us this one, a great forward effort in the first half guaranteed it.

But too much sloppiness in the backline and in attack. We need to be much more clinical.

[SouthernMann]

I like the big French fullback

[Darth Sader]

Good win, but I’m definitely only back to a semi

Have we lost the second half again?
