RWC Week 1: France v All Blacks
-
Happy enough with that. De Groot has gifted points and peyper has made 2 wrong ruck calls.
BB is having a great game as touch finders are the right option. Telea also great. Scott Barrett and Paps going well. France missing Ntamack imo.

Jaco been largely good
He can't keep up and that's only going to hurt one team. You're been magnificent O'Peyper but it's time to step down.

Disappointing game, from both sides. These never seem to live up to the expectations. Don't get the whinging about peyper. From a neutral perspective he's given the French nothing.
Missed an illegal clean on Barrett and gave the French a very kickable bullshit penalty.

I haven't seen much whinging at all. Haven't been here often?

Really? In a 30 degree night it's a good game

So far, so good on the scoreboard. Too many errors though and Ethan De Groot not having a game to remember.
BB's kicking improved markedly in the 2nd 20, Paps having a really good game and RM combining really well with Telea.

I can’t wait until Roigard comes on and works his magic around the ruck against this tiring French outfit…. Oh wait.

Haven’t been reading the thread, so unsure what the whinging is about. I think he’s been good, however probably being too lenient with the French slowing tactics, and DuPont taking an age to clear from rucks.

Can't help but feel this is a rope-a-dope from France. They aren't doing anything but kicking for distance and the ABs are running everything. For sure they're making all the play and look good doing so but the opportunity was lost to go for a try when hard on France line and went for three. They've basically kicked the ball away and still lead.
-
Interesting contest , both teams making errors
Our scrum is a concern looking forward
-
Well as @Damo said above we should be front.
The expected French dominance isn't happening.
I was thinking we were losing the kicking duels, but the last couple we've won with the touch finders.
Fine margins here. Can go either way.
-
The tactic of a quick throw in followed by a midfield bomb is not working. Cut that shit out

I think it has been overblown a wee-bit. Atonio did de Groot the first time, but the second one, it seemed like de Groot had the advantage, before slipping/totally losing his bind. It is hardly like we have been blown backwards.
