France v All Blacks

[booboo]

Long advantage there compared to very short one the other way to us 1st half

[mariner4life]

We just keep giving them the ball.

Love the french running from deep, their offloads keep hitting a guy at pace and it's causing no end of trouble

[Gunner]

Man we do some dumb fuck shit.

[ACT Crusader]

One of those ones where the halfback has his hands on the ball but "it's not out". ALB penalised.

Need to be careful , barnes likes dishing out yellows

[taniwharugby]

@booboo think it was because of where the offense occurred which was back in the 22

[Crash]

Why is BB persisting with those bloody chips - we're just playing right into french hands literally

[dingo]

@ACT-Crusader
Same thing just before when TJ was reaching for ball but Barnes just laughed

[mariner4life]

Their new halfback is nippy

[taniwharugby]

Time for Kaino to have a rest?

Our defensive lineout gives me the horn

Hmmm, easily aroused you are

Because the French defensive line is very compressed and flat.

[dingo]

If we are going to persist with these short kicks then A Savea's pace might be useful

[Nepia]

Hmmm, I've only just realised R Ioane is on for Crotty and not Naholo/Savea ....

Good tight match to start your test career.

Yp too upright, and a bit off the pace.

[Nepia]

Hahaha the commentator just said "difficult to know what Barrett is going to do".

Nope, he's going to kick it ....

[dingo]

The rucks are so scrappy TJ's strength just outweighs his less than spectacular pass

[taniwharugby]

Barnes giving the French a lot of space to harass TJ

[Stargazer]

Great game from Todd; A Savea now on.
Dagg off injured. Cruds on at 10, BB moves to fullback.

[Stargazer]

Try Charlie!
