All Blacks v France Test 3

@kirwan thought Goodhue became more prominent with him on his outside too...granted possibly due to French tiring but he looks better when he gets his hands on the ball more.

@pukunui The anthem! What got me is he was going fast slow fast slow in the Maori bit. Was he the one singing last week too? He's sung it different every week. He went up at the end last week, down this week. Egg, sing it so people can sing along.

Such a Hutt insult. Great work.

@mn5 sometimes it's like you're not from New Zealand.

Posh suburbs like Kelburn don't use that word

Not sure if it was him last week. It was fine last week. I remember because my 3 year old was singing along. You are right, just sing it so people can sing along. No one has come to watch you perform.

@taniwharugby he should be pretty happy. Apart from one tackle he was really accurate. Especially taking some ropey passes in contact. Plus he always passes well when he should.

Also who's sick of the phrase "here's Ioane with his pace"

Said just before someone tackles him. It's like a curse.

So the ABs finished the game with the following forwards :

Karl Tu'inukuafe
Liam Coltman
Ofa T
Scott Barrett
Jackson Hemopo
Shannon Frizell
Matt Todd
Luke Whitelock

Who could have guessed that at the beginning of the season ?

@stargazer he doesn’t consistently make good decisions

More Kronfeld

[MiketheSnow]

Great first half from both sides before the inevitable.

DMac would walk into most sides either at 10 or 15

He's not a ”walk into” kinda guy.
He might run side to side around the offer, then maybe zigzag into the side.

[MiketheSnow]

Also excellent 'Cockwomble' sign in the crowd

[Chester Draws]

@cgrant and yet the backline we finished with was entirely predictable.

[BerniesCorner]

Over the next 12 mons Retallick, Whitelock will be locks with S Barrett at 6.

Barrett is revolutinising the one out quick pass and offloads, creating gaps, as well as providing the hard edge required.
Showing McCawesque mental strength, awesome.

For the past few years Todd has had a raw deal, Cane and Todd are way better than anyone else in NZ and Todd is the best at the breakdown

[Bones]

Laughable. Most of the players only just above average. Ben Smith better than SBW. Aaron Smith ordinary.

Stuff

[Bones]

Did remind me though. Is Franks that bad at taking the ball up that they have just given up on working with him? He's dropping to the floor at the slightest hint of a tackle and never attempts any kind of leg drive. Surely the coaches can improve that easily?

[Voltron]

Has there been a more complete performance by an AB 10 since DC vs Lions in 2005?

[Machpants]

@voltron you're kidding, right?
