All Blacks v France Test 3
-
@victor-meldrew DMac is a very mixed bag. Two intercepts, some mixed kicking options, poor kick off, plus some great running. Still doesn’t look to setup players outside him but very good at beating defenders.

Next time more time for Mo'unga, hopefully. This was just good for getting rid of debut nerves. Played well during the little time he got on the field.
I’m no fan of DMac, but Mounga is now firmly in third place on the back of that performance.

Cruden was our last 10 who actively looked at setting up players outside him - BB and DMac look to make the break first and then feed (and kick pass for BB) and in general it works!

@taniwharugby Is Ben Smith still going to be in the team next year?

@kirwan Yep, because Dmac is Hansen's pet project.
And Damian delivered tonight. Not mistake free, but a big improvement. Fantastic goal kicking, and the length of his field kicking was impressive.

@kirwan still too many errors for me. I wouldn't want him in the wet or a tight game, against a forward dominant team. Like last week.
I still prefer him at fullback, in the old B.B. supersub role

@shadowtrooper agree it’s about balance in a team.

That will be his role , tonight was about getting experience to cover an emergency I reckon

Not based on this series.
