All Blacks v France Test 3

[Kirwan]

To be positive, at least DMac is playing like a ten tonight.

[Crucial]

As much as it is annoying and very Wayne Barnes like, the ref has to stand somewhere. If the positioning works out badly it’s tough shit except for the law quoted above.
Justin needs to STFU

[taniwharugby]

Naholo really needs to get himself into game

[Stargazer]

I have patience with the newbies. It must be nerve wrecking to play your first test match. Some deal with that better than others.

Serves me right.

[Nepia]

Am I misremembering or didn't Genia run behind a ref to get his match winning try against the Crusaders in 2011?

Genia is a master of using the ref as a blocker. I’m sure whinging Meg has done it as well.

[Gunner]

What do the All Blacks have against starting halves well?

[Machpants]

Great defence but I think we pulled it down

[Tim]

Great defence.

Hint of an early push. Didn't look like a bring down to me.

[Nepia]

I repeat my usual whinge - a maul going backwards shouldn't be allowed two goes (didn't happen this time, but after going back 10 metres the ref said first stop). It's a stupid law, the defending team should be rewarded for good defence.

[Derm McCrum]

Ah handbags. A good game needs them.

[Tim]

@nepia They really had three goes that time.

Get out of it, it was great timing!!!

Methinks people are buying into Nisbo constantly referring to Frizzell as Taylor.

Was the catcher's feet on the ground before the push? Maybe, but I thought it was a touch early.

No, just saw him miss another one.
