I've only seen the last 20 minutes but I can't agree with the criticism of the adjudication. They're ruling to the letter of the law. We put ourselves in this position by poor technique and careless tackling - mainly because we are in danger of being over-run
I'm only following on here, but it seems to me that while they're refereeing to the letter of the law, the bloody TMO seems to be sticking his bloody nose into everything.
If they're going to rule on every second play, why not do away with the on field ref and just have the TMO do it from the comfort of his seat. -

Great game on tour. Justin Marshall hit it on the head when he said midweek rugby on tour is a good thing. It allows more young ABs to get game time in the black jersey
I’m surprised they haven’t done more revenue sharing midweek games. Would seem a no brainer in giving young blokes a go and making some coin at same time.

Well Aumua and Moli can certainly scrum based on that last set piece.
And Moli was at loosehead,wasn't he? It would be great if he can play at loosehaed, we are really thin in that position.

that tackle in the air had to be a YC IMO, it was one of the few where it obviously was not just a mistiming or a clash, but a straight up tackle of a bloke being a meter up in the air. I don't care whether he lands on his legs, his arse or his face, that had to be more than a penalty. Ref was OK in general play, though, very consistent and letting stuff go at the ruck.

Hansen just confirmed this was TKB's last game. Congrats to a good All Black, who would have gotten more caps if he hadn't had two better players ahead of him. Great NZ career, and a pity he's going overseas. Good luck to him in France!
Best AB on the park IMO. Best tackling halfback I've seen in a while

Nathan Harris is poor mans Corey Flynn

Goodhue yellow carded for a tackle off the ball. Hmmm
He did interfere with the runner but actually fell over and inadvertently tripped him. That's what happens when you put yourself at the mercy of the ref
He put up an arm when he ran into the guy then they tumbled.
Was Veldsman the TMO? Or dome other Shaun/Sean?
The TMO protocols were awful. Comms problrms or no comms problems.
TV producers did tgeur best to help "France" out IMO. -
Aumua has talent but he is finding out international rugby is a different beast than U20s and M10 rugby and there isn't the same space. His only lineout throw was a shocker too (as were a couple from Harris).
Pat T and TKB were the best ABs on the night. Laumape was good too apart from a terrible pass.

Anyway my 2c before I read the thread.
What sort of kuck off time is 5mins before the hour? When I saw beIN's coverage was from 3.55 I set my alarm accordingly and turned on at 3.59 and it had been going 5 mins.
Pat T lucky not to be carded gor high shot in first half.
Generally good performance.
Take out the intercept and it's pretty convincing.
And the TMO shenanigans. I don't really like whinging about officiating but that really got my goay. Went one way IMO.
Can't think of anyone really having a bad game. Laumape good cept for the obvious. Liked Pat T. Lima looked good (better than Mo'unga ... but he had the untidy period to play).
More stuff as I think of it

Good pickup. Yep he was packing at loosehead. Agreed it is good to see.
He displayed some nice bench impact along with Akira Ioane who had a good showing and I thought Mounga looked sharp too.
