All Blacks v France, 2021 NH Tour

[gt12]

You look at many of the players who are playing poorly (again) and you wonder why some of them weren’t sat down this week.

[nostrildamus]

come on guys remember how to score..

[nzzp]

I like this direct forwawdr play. and it gets penalty advantages.

[canefan]

Where to begin..... Terrible tactics (so many midfield aimless bombs, the Boks would be proud) a number of players showing again that they are either past their prime or simply not good enough. There should be a lot of soul searching after this tour

[kev]

We are back 😀

[Canes4life]

Game of two halves for Barrett so far. He’s started the second half well. Same with Mo’unga.

[sparky]

Jordie Barrett scores in the corner. 24-11.

[booboo]

Better. What I want to see from our forwards.

[African Monkey]

There we go. Some good work in the tight from Ardie and Akira.

[Anonymous]

It's amazing how much better we look when we don't use our backs

[MN5]

Barrett scores when Bridge should have been on his wing to take the pass

[Donsteppa]

Good of the French winger to line up to the inside of Jordie that close to the line.

French forwards not as tough as the Irish ones IMO. But overall team well coached.

[No Quarter]

Finally we take it up the guts and get a penalty advantage then a try.

[sparky]

Flags stay down.

Both Akira and Saves did well with their post contact metres there.

[Canes4life]

Dear I say it we never play well in grey against the French.

I thought Ardie nearly got swamped in the tackle when he tried to take it up?

TBF to Bridge, he hasn't been too bad tonight - well, compared to the other players.

[Tim]

So much better. Using our better carriers in midfield. Tupaea good carry, nice pass from to Barrett using Akira as decoy.
