All Blacks v France Test #1

[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

@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.

[Damo]

@rancid-schnitzel It doesn't, but the point is that a player after a knockon is offside because he is in front of a team mate who last played the ball.

[No Quarter]

Frustrating half. We haven't adapted to the ref, and A Smith's backchat hasn't helped there.

Way way too many basic handling errors too.

Jordie our best on the park so far. Excellent under the high ball (unlike the rest of the team) and looking very dangerous on attack.

We should be taking the points on offer and grinding them down. This isn't Super Rugby.
