All Blacks v France Test #1

[Donsteppa]

ALB saves Crotty from another terribly timed pass on attack.

Though obstruction.

[Tim]

@donsteppa Yeah, passed it way too early.

[Wally]

I like this ref

[Rapido]

Whitelock. Crusaders v Lions .....

Better score from this ....,,

[Mokey]

Aaron Smith you dumb shit.

[Stargazer]

Aaron Smith has already cost us 8, possibly 10 (if you include the conversion) points.

[Tim]

@tim On the replay Crotty didn't draw at all.

How can it be that international asst refs can’t see a basic law of the game right in front of them?

I'm stunned by that. There is no special law here right?

Ref was correct.

You can put a player onside when you knock it on? Are you sure about that one?

of course:

Law 10.6

Other than under Law 10.4c, an offside player can be put onside when:

...

b. An onside team-mate of that player moves past the offside player and is within or has re-entered the playing area.

[No Quarter]

Stupid play.

Where does that refer to after a knock on?

[Rapido]

Can't wait for Keiran Read to come back.

Dumbest captaincy decision in the history of all sport, ever.

[Toddy]

Great defence from the French.

[ShadowTrooper]

Fuck me some senior players need a fucken rocket

[broughie]

Well the French, other than some good defence, are not really showing much to worry about. So if we continue to improve and wear them out I think we will be fine.

[Tim]

Great defence.

[taniwharugby]

I know he plays for the Blues, but they should throw the ball to the Rieko guy

[Rapido]

@damo said in All Blacks v France Test #1:

You are offside if you are in front of a team mate who last played the ball and have not been put onside. He was put onside by being put onside before he played it. I thought so live and it proved to be true on replay.

Will need to look this one up. You can be put into side by a team mate who dropped the ball a second ago?

[Stargazer]

The Barretts have been very good, and in spite of what others have said, I think Crotty has been very good as well (apart from that one wrong pass). Cane and the Whitelocks get a pass mark, too. The Smiths have let us down.
