RWC Week 1: France v All Blacks
-
@Tim said in RWC: France v All Blacks:
This game really underlined how bad Ryan is. He keeps selecting awful players like Cody Taylor at the expense of genuinely good forwards. Vaa'i would make no other squad.
NZ rugby is rotten.
Sounds like time to change allegiances, do you have an Irish grandmother or something

My wife was asking why we were playing the entire second half in our half.
Did she ask why we are doing these little kicks to the opposition players
-
@antipodean was the French defence offside by much? Was it visible at the ground (always difficult to judge on TV)?
-
@antipodean did you see much live that was a positive for the ABs? Or was the score difference a fair reflection of the game?
-
Took ~4 years to get JB to 2nd five
Took ~4 years to get Razor on the job
Took ~4 years to work out kicking long in your own half is the best option
Roigard will be starting by 2027 -

Why was A Smith subbed
-
@BerniesCorner the TV producers needed him to take Dupont out of his pocket 😬. Dupont is a fantastic player, but he wasn’t the best 9 on the pitch last night (until Christie came on).

@Frank Yes, a copy of the previous one.
@Frank is in denial.
Give him some comfort and don’t ruin it.
He’ll move through the stages on his own time.

You clearly haven't been paying attention to what I have been saying about Foster.
Summary - it's not good. -

Agree Smith could have played a full 80, why is there always this need to replace the. Halfback?
-
@Nevorian fatigue clouds decision making perhaps? Dupont was on until 76th minute, so it is an AB tactic thing.
Again, probably an overhang from when ABs had “closers” worthy of the name. Comes back to cutting your cloth according to the material you have at your disposal.
