All Blacks v France Test #1

Has Naholo ever played a blinder for the ABs?
He's constantly ripped it up for the landers, but if he gets a chance this series...he needs to take it.

The team is:
Maxime Medard, Teddy Thomas, Mathieu Bastareaud (c), Geoffrey Doumayrou, Remy Grosso, Anthony Belleau, Morgan Parra, Kevin Gourdon, Fabien Sanconnie, Judicael Cancoriet, Yoann Maestri, Paul Gabrillagues, Uini Atonio, Camille Chat, Dany Priso.
Replacements: Adrien Pélissié, Cyril Baille, Rabah Slimani, Bernard Le Roux, Alexandre Lapandry, Baptiste Serin, Jules Plisson, Gael Fickou.
So, Basteraud at 13? Rather than 12?
I know not much about French rugby, but that is very brave putting a player that wide to defend that wide.

. Common denominator with Moody, Franks and Squire getting in trouble was all were coming back from long breaks.
Isn't the common denominator that all those thugs have Ta$man links?
Edit: Damn, looks like Moody has no Ta$man links ... but I bet you he's holidayed there.

@chris-b when SBW was declared unfit, it was always going to be a Crotty/ALB combo to start. They have experience on their side.
Laumape the preferred bench option given he’s played 2nd 5 for the ABs and the TAB are refusing to take bets on whether Crotty will finish the test....
I am genuinely surprised with Jordie starting at fullback.

The boy, Paula, who turns two this month, was at the airport with family and was hurt on a conveyor belt. He is recovering in Middlemore Hospital. 1/22/2 Vaea Fifita said: “He had an operation on his arm and is doing okay. My partner and I would like to thank airport, emergency services and hospital staff for all their support.” -

How has this not made the 'Good Rugby Reads' thread before.
I don't always agree with the analysis but it makes for really interesting reading and is a notch above the G&GR stuff which drifts way too eagerly into finger pointing.
