All Blacks v France, 2021 NH Tour

[African Monkey]

@no-quarter Yeah. I want to like them but the same things happen year after year. The Crusaders win Super Rugby, everyone forgets that they've been found out at test level in the past, we pick them again, they do the same shit that doesn't work and rinse and repeat.

[Hooroo]

The classic defensive bomb! That’s an interesting tactic

Funny is the TMOs mic broken this week. He was heavily involved previous weeks.

So much better when they don't get involved

Ian Foster is Leigh Hart.

[Billy Tell]

QT has been fine. ST is a real find. Ioane has made good yards. Otherwise meh.

[gt12]

Jesus, scrum.

[Steven Harris]

Game over now

Nothing like being put under pressure to learn which have your backs have got it. Reiko Ioane superb tonight. Mo'unga and Havili not so much.

The question is, will Foster and Co take the hint? I'm not sure they will

[No Quarter]

That really was an amazing comeback though. That breakout from in their goaline (Mo'unga missing an easy tackle) resulting in a YC to Ardie was an absolute game changer.

[Steven Harris]

@no-quarter real key moment that break out

[chimoaus]

Well played France, I'm actually looking forward to the next World Cup, so much quality up North now.

[delicatessen]

Much as I hate to see us lose, the more pressure on fozzie the better. Also love watching this French team play. It's a jolly fun brand of rugby.

[Billy Tell]

That scrum suns it up really.

[Yeetyaah]

Don't say that too loud the Crusaders guys will be here in force to protect their babies.

I cant believe they didn’t sub Cane. He must be dead.

[canefan]

Apart from that strong passage early in the 2nd half, we look a bit old, a bit slow, a bit passive, not direct enough. Some major changes needed

I can’t either, until I remember the group of people in the coaching box…

[African Monkey]

@yeetyaah As usual lol but yeah, it's the truth.

He's clearly not ready for test rugby just yet.

[Dice]

These French backs are impressive.
