France v All Blacks

mariner4life

Their new halfback is nippy

Time for Kaino to have a rest?

Our defensive lineout gives me the horn

Hmmm, easily aroused you are

Why is BB persisting with those bloody chips - we're just playing right into french hands literally

Because the French defensive line is very compressed and flat.

If we are going to persist with these short kicks then A Savea's pace might be useful

Nepia

Hmmm, I've only just realised R Ioane is on for Crotty and not Naholo/Savea ....

Good tight match to start your test career.

Time for Kaino to have a rest?

Yp too upright, and a bit off the pace.

Nepia

Hahaha the commentator just said "difficult to know what Barrett is going to do".

Nope, he's going to kick it ....

dingo

The rucks are so scrappy TJ's strength just outweighs his less than spectacular pass

taniwharugby

Barnes giving the French a lot of space to harass TJ

Stargazer

Great game from Todd; A Savea now on.
Dagg off injured. Cruds on at 10, BB moves to fullback.

Stargazer

Try Charlie!

mariner4life

Good Wayne don't let that yappy halfback puss you off.

Who is savea on for?

Sapetyvi

Lucky our big man has good hands. Try for Charlie.

Frog club owners will be lining up to recruit him

chimoaus

Nice try from some good possession.

Tordah

lucky bounce, we'll take it

taniwharugby

@mariner4life not Kaino.....

Stargazer

I'd rathher seen Ardie replace Kaino tbh.

Fuck your rule Barnes, learn the rule the scrumhalf can't be taken out at the ruck.
