@Jet Clear YC. Refs are consistent on that one. Beauden Barrett should have known better.

Wasnt it forward in the buildup?

@reprobate said in All Blacks v France II:

@cgrant At least they are trying out a centre (Proctor) and a winger (Ioane). They've also had a crack at doing something about the loosie balance - so kudos for all of that.
But 10 is a problem they're not even trying to solve.

We need the two incumbents to pick up slight knocks.

Beaudy has been on a pedestal for a long time and we need injury to do what the coaches will not.

What did we make of Barretts yellow card?

Seems to have been lost in the ether after a convincing win.

Still think we are getting rode roughshod by refs and we never say anything about it.

Scott Hansens media scrum in the build up to this test confirmed as much.

We dont play "the game" at all.

@Darth-Sader Rot appeared in 2017. Grew in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Schmidt and Ryan made some of it disapppear, but lots of it is still there.

Agree. The mental sharpness isn’t there. Unfortunately our flashy skills band-aid a lot of it.

That’s my Fullback.

Tooops

This ref is a headbanger.

Accidental offside for a full arm penalty.

The call we didn’t get in the Lions tour from Poite and Garces.

Holland looking like we found our BBBR replacement.

Frighteningly Friendly Fabian Holland.

FFFH

@Steven-Harris said in All Blacks v France 2:

Fabian Holland set for a long career in a black jersey

Can’t wait to see him against the Boks.

They will rough him up good and proper.

Time for Nisbo to move on ..Ardie now Jim

He’s called ‘Ardie Savea’ at least twice when it was CLW.

He gets about 7 syllables into Savea when he says it.

@KiwiMurph said in All Blacks v France 2:

Holland has sensational hands

Holy Hecker.

Great try.

Vaii is a fabulous player.

Barrett back on, so we are kicking the pill away with gay abandon again.

If Joshua Brennan was wearing black he would have got that upgraded to red.

We are awful at contestable kicks.

@mariner4life said in All Blacks v France 2:

The forward are fucking on tonight

We should have been playing like this years ago.

Up the jumper.

@sparky said in All Blacks v France 2:

Dirty Irish fucker.

His oul lad was a toe rag too.

We are playing better sans Beaudy.

Billy P looked all at sea there again.
