I would note that there were a shit load of people here freaking out and losing their shit during those vital group matches against Namibia and Georgia.
True. Despite Hansen making it plainly obvious that they were approaching those games as testing elements of their play we'd benefit from come the knockouts.
And it was interesting to hear him say that we're now at the point in the cycle where they feel it's time to develop their game, having not done so for a couple of years due to all the analysis. I become more and more impressed with the set up in the All Blacks.
Don't think they were tapering off either, just training right through. Probably a much better approach than going for 3 70 point victories and then being shocked when playing a decent team.

Interesting that that BKT scrum has led to France ditching their best scrummaging TH!

30 point margin.

You think?
After losing by over 40 last week I think a 30 point margin is a bit of a tough hurdle for the frogs

30 point margin.
Given the way they dropped their heads last weekend, a couple of early tries and it could get very ugly.
-
Here's hoping that BB kicks a fuckton better than last week.
-
What was that shit with our first possession?
And now dropped a bomb. Shit from you Barretts
-
Terrible.
-
Lucky. Pretty shit defence from the ABs.
-
Some average looking defence there , before the break , they were making good metres
-
That was some shit defense right there.
-
Tight five looks a bit shit so far.
-
Great clearance from Jordie.
We need to get our heads in the game and up the intensity.
-
Is it Squire who looks hurt?
Fucking average defense.
-
Huge gap just off the ruck
-
Creaky scrum. Maybe time to wake the fuck up a bit?
-
Christ. Didn't they practice defending on the flanks this week. This is appalling.
-
Shit from the tight five again.
-
We look in super rugby mode , too loose
-
We have kicked away possession early. Not sure why?
-
No effort to get in right places on defense. Just not enough numbers - shocking early efforts by ruck defenders.
-
First challenge on Jordie was pretty reckless, and that's close to a red. Idiotic.
-
Fringe defence ...
-
Red coming up.
-
France come to play
-
Clear red card
-
Has to be red. He barely left the ground.
-
Going to be another fun week in the media.
-
Shit lucky he didn't break his neck. Fark that's ugly.
-
A shame tbh but it is a red unfortunately.
-
Game over
-
Got to be a YC
-
Okay. That shouldn't be a red. Intent should count.
-
For fuck sake that was so fucking dumb from the French 15. Way to ruin the game dickhead.
-
My god, the media will love this.

This post is deleted!

I'm behind. Looks really bad

What? He didn't intend to be a fucking idiot? Too stupid to know what he was doing?
