France adapted better to the Ref than we did.
France adapted better to the lack of a ref than we did.
McCaw's captaincy, or lack of, was also a key factor. He was anything but Mr Cool, calm and collected in that game.
That drove the formation of the senior players' management group they have now didn't it? Something good came out of it (2011, 2015.....)

I have something in common with Richie then. I was getting quite irate with young Wayne as well -albeit from the stands.

Yep, Barnes completely lost it in that game - awful, awful performance. Les Frogs were just way smarter at exploiting it.

Reminded me of lunchtime rugby at school, we didn't have a ref then either.

Jeez boys, a lot of WE did this, WE didn't do that, the ref blah blah. Not much credit for anything the oppo did.
WE weren't talking about them.
Cheese eating surrender monkeys, mutter, mutter, mutter, boat bombing fluffybunnies, mutter, mutter, mutter.

The same Tana that was showing major signs in the back end of 2004 and into 2005 that he had slowed significantly?

Can you keep your alternate Cantab facts out of this please? I'm trying to get a senior player on the field who'll get the team to set for a drop goal at some stage.
