France v All Blacks

[Donsteppa]

8 missed tackles so far?

[gt12]

@kiwiinmelb
Yeah, it was a good turn, but he's been caught out coming off his wing a couple of times.

Good start by Savea.

Rucks are a proper mess. At least we seem to have adapted to Barnes early.

Haha "New Zealand really do sail close to the edge of the rules" straight after the French have given away a penalty

@No-Quarter said in France:

Brilliant from Todd.

He's having a very good game thus far.

[chimoaus]

Savea looks in best condition he has been all year. A month off fried chicken seems to have done the trick. Let's hope he looks that way next year.

[Mokey]

Haha to Wayne Barnes' "franglais" as TJ so eloquently put it. ABs look good with ball in hand.

[mariner4life]

Again we score almost as soon as we get the ball. Skewing the possession stat

[taniwharugby]

Jeez this gate at the breakdowns is pretty bent...

[taniwharugby]

Some very poor misses out there....another through the side gate

Staying on your feet seems entirely optional too.

[Stargazer]

Dagg's boot. Awesome.

[chimoaus]

TJ sure cleans up well on D.

[chimoaus]

Fuk me the lineout throwing is not exactly straight.
So far.

[taniwharugby]

How did Barnes not notice that wasn't straight?

[chimoaus]

Love the flair of the French so far, their ball exchanges are a joy to watch.

That's maybe the most obvious not straight I've ever seen in rugby.

[Tordah]

so so many linebreaks, France look good and then somehow scramble defence is just enough to hold them out

[booboo]

What the hell is Charlie Faumuina doing playing for Fance?

[Stargazer]

Crotty and ALB tackling like their lives depend on it!

[dingo]

Looks like they actually pulled Moody into the ruck and then lay on him, rather than him not rolling away
