Interesting contest , both teams making errors
Our scrum is a concern looking forward
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.

I reckon both teams looked really nervous early on. Even with us scoring that try.
I quite like our attack.
The benches and what they provide will determine this game given the conditions.
-
France looking a bit disjointed in midfield without Danty in there, AB's making easy metres through there.

Have not noticed ALB either on defence or attack.
Not a criticism as such, but you'd hardly know he is playing.
that early short ball to Reiko was nice..(think it was him)

Who is playing 6?
Tupou Vaa'i

Subs will be interesting... front rowers will be on within ten minute you'd think, but the rest? Will BBBR actually be used, Jacobson probably for Vaa'i with 20 to go?
I maintain Christie will be sitting on his bum whilst it is close, unless Smith tires (extremally unlikely). ALB has been good, so at this stage, wouldn't be looking to Havili, and likewise no reason to bring Fainga'anuku on.

That was Beaudie. Good set play. Long cut out from Richie to Beaudie, we had a dummy player for the behind the line ball and we went short to a running Ioane.

He set Reiko on that run. At least he hasn't showed out in a negative way. Too much kicking , few midfield runs for him to show out

Purposely stayed out of it
ITV are the affirmative action of TV coverage
If Peyper (or Paper as he’s known on ITV) is anywhere near the knockout stages then it’s a lottery
NZ have got this if they believe in themselves

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.
"competition is good" nek minit SW illegal. Like what the phuck are you supposed to do?

I only have the one bad call in 40mins from Jaco - felt he was pretty good
