RWC Week 1: France v All Blacks

@gt12 said in RWC: France v All Blacks:
Two people who need much greater criticism: Schmidt and Ryan.
They continue to select for and play this game.
But it's not the forwards putting up contestables from our 22 then having to defend when they lose the ball. It's going to work against Italy etc and then Foster will come out and say, "told ya it works."
Its the same game they played against SA and humped.

20-0 second half.
Wow, well done France.Forwards went OK, except for scrums, lineouts, ruck work and defence.
Backs were alright except for tackling, kicking and contesting the bombs.ON the bright side, there's plenty of opportunity to go upf rom here
Seriously, though, key moment at the ned of the first half. 9-8 and instead of applyng pressure to tired forwards, we try for a hero play. It's the mindset in this team - no patience. SF is a win for us, QF exit is likely.

Discipline will go a long way to winning the RWC, we don't have it, French discipline and patience was excellent
2 weeks ago it was the forwards, today it was the backs.
Same old failings since 2017.

Queue the over-reactions. We didn't expect to win, we have tons of injuries, no depth on the bench etc. Things didn't quite flow for us, some 50/50 moments certainly, not really sure it was a 14 point game but alas. We won't fucking lose to Italy, we'll blow them away. Chances are we take on Ireland in the QFs, which probably suits us more.

I wonder if we can lose to Italy and not get out of the pool.
Foster says "hold my beer"
Another 1st.
Problem is, we'll annihilate the other two, get ahead of Italy on points doff and then get smoked against our own farts in the QF.

@gt12 I am more critical of the tactics than personell...we were fucking dumb.
There were tactics?

I don't know mate. Lose, but lose like you know what you are doing.
That was clueless from selection table to performance.

As I said, Peyper = lottery
Second YC for being dumb as fuck

There was no dry powder.
Yes there is. We were always targeting the Italy match

@sparky said in RWC: France v All Blacks:
The reality is that this AB team is very poor. I think Italy have a chance of denying us a Quarter Final spot.
They'll have to beat the other teams by more than us OR, France deliberately lose to them.

Praise to the All Blacks. Proud
Roigard should have subbed on -

But it wasn't unexpected was it. Wasted energy having a fat moan about this.

One of Beaudy or Mo'unga need to be dropped.
We can't have two chip kick merchants knocking around.
Im going to smash my TV up if they do that again.
It's been happening since the last world cup.
The axis does not work.

How Ryan allowed Foster to pick all those wingers instead of the likes of Finau I'll never know.
