All Blacks v France Test #1

[kev]

Pace of game told. YC added to momentum and added some margin. ABs should kick less or better.

@act-crusader How many times have we seen that though (not sying that it is right)

Not many I’d say.

[Hooroo]

I am really liking our blindside flanker at the moment. Solid as fuck.

DMac is the perfect super sub

Forwards got a good workout from the French tonight.

[Stargazer]

Final score: 52 - 11. Flattering the ABs, due to some dodgy calls. Well-deserved win though; no doubt they earned it.

@crucial ALB has some dropsies but he was not too bad. Always seems to make yards. First test jitters.

Some nice impact off the bench , been lacking in that area the last couple of years

How did the Blues miss Karl Tu'inukuafe? Hanks must be useless.

The yellow card decision was ropy, but would it have reversed the eventual outcome? An emphatic NO.

First time I've seen it 5 metres out

Clear no try.

Ref has been good except for failing to use the TMO.

I am afraid that I thought the ref was average. 3 critical decisions that he clearly got wrong. On the plus side, all those decisions went in our favour, so that is a mitigating factor.

Think the ref had been fairly good overall.

He controls the game pretty well. Did I hear he hasn’t been reffing 1st tier tests for long?

Should’ve gone upstairs to check the high tackle.

France offered nothing in attack and just gave up on defence when the YC was issued. I don't think the margin flattered the ABs at all. France was shit. Even shittier than the ABs were in the first half, but for the whole game.

In very surprising news, BB has only kicked 4/9.

A tad harsh. They were all on the sideline. Should have nailed at least one of those though.

How good was SB though. I'd written him off this year but he was terrific.

Long may the Blues keep giving the Chiefs their cast-offs...

First tier one test

No yellow cards, that's a change!

@act-crusader time for him to go tbh
