I want to blame DMac for our lack of dominance since the red but in reality our forwards are fucking asleep.
I predict we will play like shit and win by 50.
The game as a spectacle has been ruined

ALB is playing bloody well
Our backs are saving our forward pack. They are just looking at everything, while the french steal our ball.

I'm a big fan of ALB. Always looks like he has time

Nah. DMac's using Jedi multi-player mind telepathy to make them play shit....

@mariner4life Pretty much like the U20 semi earlier in the week - but our backs were as shit as our forwards in that game

Thats the difference between looking to make something happen for yourself (DMC) and looking to set up someone else (Reiko, ALB).
That’s harsh because he helped make the space for Rieko to use there.
I think he’s been pretty good. Some runs for himself, but also some good kicks and well-timed passes. He’s certainly not the reason we are playing poorly.

That sending off is correct under the rules but bloody harsh. The player is in a position to catch the ball, he just doesn't put himself in danger by jumping in the air. Meanwhile Beauden jumps on top of him and gets away with nothing.
What drugs are you on? Beaudy was in the air when Fall arrived.
@shadowtrooper said in All Blacks v France Test #2:
Shit Cane gonna go for that
Lucky Parra didn't land on his head.
Huh? That's exactly my point. Beauden puts himself in a dangerous position. If Beauden wasn't there jumping at his head, the French player would have caught the ball. So it makes no sense to say he wasn't in a position to catch it. Rugby should just ban jumping for the ball if it is so inherently dangerous.

ALB might be playing well, but Crotty is not

He's a great link player, puts others in to space.
Ioane and B Smith also playing well.

I’m sure there’s a valid reason for the red card, but we know that all it will do is feed the prevailing northern hemisphere media narrative, including its proxies in NZ like Mark Reason, of a conspiracy to nobble the All Blacks’ opposition.
You can never win against those people.

Sorry, but can't agree. It was always on out wide and DMC actually almost wasted the opportunity to my mind. I'd also suggest that the DMC pass was within a gnat's pubic hair of being within intercept range.

I'm with you Goldie, you my boy

You guys are crack-up. Every time we have a tight game the 'we are crap' brigade come out. France are playing ave, the same as last week. They defend ok in first halves, have some big ball runners and can turn ball over but really people!!!! They have no imagination, are weak mentality. Have the worst int line out, para kicks a lot when they shld hold it the list goes on.
Let's see the game out before we judge please. Can they ever please us? -
Love how the backup 10 is copping heat when numbers 1-9 are barely even playing.

“It’s the law that’s the issue,” says Jeff Wilson. Agreed. It’s a stupid, stupid law. Referees need some discretion in these cases. There was no ill intent from the French player. It just ruins the entire game.
Actually, is the law or the interpretation? Because I can’t find anything directing a red card from a quick look at the actual laws.
