France v All Blacks

Premier UK coverage is Irish -- pretty daggy!

Good game this. French playing well.

We need to play a few more phases and make them make more decisions. We are actually making good yards and half opportunities every time we get it, but too many turnovers.

We're beating them in close, but their forwards as a pack are getting around the track better than us.

Agree, this has been an issue for us for some time, we just give away the pill too often.

I have noticed the Irish and French loosies seem to have a fair bit of pace with the ball, makes Kaino and Read look a little slow?

@chimoaus agree. Kaino is noticeably ponderous tonight, great if they are right in front of him though.

We're kicking away more good ball than they are stealing.

Wouldn't mind seeing us have a crack at a few more rucks, Barnes always gives more leeway there

Gunner

That fucking chip kick again.

What do we have against hanging onto possesion on this tour?

kiwiinmelb

No Quarter

Bahaha BB holy shit, I almost feel sorry for France there.. but not quite.

Tordah

speedy Beaudy

Stargazer

I love Beaudy! And now his brother comes on the field as well.

@Gunner We are not showing much midfield penetration hence the kick. Where is Nonu when you need him.

gt12

How many missed tackles by Franks and Moody tonight?

mariner4life

That's fucking lucky.

If we are going to continue those kicks we need another quick loosie on to help Todd.

BArrett and Ioane on

Nothing worse, but nice to be on our side. Barrett on for BBBR?

taniwharugby

@gt12 too many, especially big ones out wide giving them a lot of momentum

Aside from the excellence of BB think ALB knows he's in a game alright
