Did it have any bearing on the result, NO. They still would have lost by 40.
Yep - the whinging about the adversity suffered by the French - which basically amounted to an unlucky yellow card and a bit of ref shepherding - is way over the top.
On the back of those two events they suffered two defeats that would have been the heaviest in AB history if sustained by us.
You've got to be able to overcome a bit of adversity!

Thanks. I had watched the first show on sky and liked it, but had forgotten about it.Just watched the test 2 review above. Fucking brilliant, better than the first show I watched. Excellent analysis of back field defence and impact of playing with 14 men. Also very interesting comparison of how NZ play at the back compared to France (if they had 15).
Good work those guys. Making a very positive contribution.

Just reporting back as have now come out of hungover state.
Rugby was great. Didn't view the whole game and can over only a few MVP votes.
First off....the stag on the stag doo. He didn't know anything about the trip, got picked up thursday from auck flown to chch had a night out. Friday we had a pub crawl road trip to Dunedin (he thought it was to Q-town as he thought he got inside word from someone). When we got to Dunedin he was that gone he thought we were in Qtown.
MVP's of the Friday: 3 Points: Random Maori guy at the pub in Ashburton doing 'magic tricks' for everyone including smoking a dobbie with his nostril.
2 points: Akira Ioane: Loved shouting pretty much the whole bar (was out with Laumape....both proving great team culture before a game).
1: The girl we got kicked out for being too thirsty and walking up to everyone in our group and trying to get them to go home with her (literally her first words).Saturday: 10am beers followed by Hens party dancing lesson at stilitos for the stag and lappy after. Back to studentville for some backyard and drinking on the street then Octy and then rugby.
Stag did well with his '4 more years banner' Wallabies jersey and face painted jumping up anytime anyone scored.
MVP points: 3: The only hot stripper I think Dunedin has ever had
2: Goodhue and the other guys on debut still wearing their All Blacks Caps out in town (mention to him for looking like it was getting him a couple of birds)
1: Akira, again at the bar on Saturday buying big rounds. Recognised me off my face and chucked a drink my way. -
@magpie_in_aus But did you have breakfast with any?
-
@magpie_in_aus Looks like you've completely ruined Akira's career now ... this story will be all over the papers tomorrow.
-
@antipodean I didn't eat again till about Tuesday.

Indeed, it's not in Sky's tv guide. I found the times in the Vodafone tv guide. Hopefully that one is correct.

Fuck Sky's ICT is arse. Still using Flash, utter crap quality and feed. SO annoying. Search the guide and you get nothing!
Oh and it shows 11PM tonight the AFL shit show

I've recorded via the MySky box, which shows it being aired at 11 pm tonight. As mentioned earlier, the Sky TV guide on their website and the app aren't current.

Two clips from last night have been posted on twitter:
Very interesting
Couple of questions/thoughts
-
WTF is up with the Irish guy's beanie?
-
Depth is all well and good, but if you have the best players in the world at that position you have to play them hence Carter and Read's high %s in the '1014 Show' depth chart.
On the '1014 Show' depth scale, not desireable.
On a NZ winning matches scale, overwhelmingly important.
I would argue that lots of teams would have the desired 50/30/20 depth ratio but not the 50/30/20 depth quality.
Once again, that's what seperates the ABs from the chasing pack IMHO
