All Blacks v France, 2021 NH Tour

Without panicking we do need to do something radical for next WC with coaching I feel. I can see us beating one of Ireland/England/Sth A etc in a tournament but not two of them, that is an issue.

Jeff Wilson talking up David Havilli coming on and making an impact.

THat’s how fucked things are at the moment.

For years we were fabulous, then around 2017 we stopped innovating. The rest of the world caught up. In two years time France, Ireland and England will be miles ahead of us so sad.

They're better but not that much better. We are not just stagnant but worse, earlier AB sides would have trounced us too.

[broughie]

@sparky Is it all about innovation vs fronting up on the forwards?

[chimoaus]

Marshall, DMacs lateral running might cause problems...

[WillieTheWaiter]

Time to start a crowd funding campaign to pay out Fozzie contract

None of the coaches are going to be sacked. The muppets at the NZR just renewed their contracts. 🙈

Can they use some of the Silver Lake money to buy out their contracts? That would be a good investment for the All Black brand.

Especially for the touch judge when he gets in the way..

Given the recent results I think an outsider would put the ABs down as 4th best in that list.

[Chris B.]

The scoreline is terrible, but actually it feels like France is less dominant than Ireland were.

Looks like it's been one game too many for Jordie now. But, plenty of others also making crucial errors.

We don't look like we have the gas in the tank or a bench to rescue this even if we can eliminate the errors.

Need to get the ball in Will Jordan's hands more.

[Donsteppa]

Powder puff 5m effort from the pack.

We need Samisoni on to give us more punch up the middle, but that means subbing our best player Coles.

Still worth doing. ST and Ofa would be my first subs

Its too late now, but you look at how poor Laulala is and even wonder whether Ta’avao (who I dint think should be an AB) would have gone.

@anonymous If they had any pride they would just resign in live off what they have earned it today.

@no-quarter
Mean while Robertson, Gatland, Schmidt, Rennie, Brown et al. are watching this gormless mongoloid coach the ABs.

[nzzp]

the randomness of head contact from one week to the next is mystifying.

Last week YC to Taylor, this week, grabbing Savea aroudn the neck is just 'whatevs'

[sparky]

Fuck, that was shit, again.

[Tordah]

@sparky as shit as his haircut

[gt12]

There literally is no structure to our attack.

[No Quarter]

French defense isn't great, plenty of opportunities to score if we just hold the ball
