All Blacks v France I

Winger has leg injury, goes off with a HIA. Absolutely taking the piss here

You have to admire the French being right in this. They looked like they were out for the count several times there. How the hell is this so close??

France play with pride and composure and they are an incredible well-coached outfit.

We lack their structure and organisation

Pleased to see them kicking for goal.

Fuck that shits me

We automatically blow advantage

Okay we had the penalty but far out Ratima do more than just kick it.

If we kick the ball away again on attack I’m going to lose my shit:

JayCee

We just panicked there with the advantage

Toddy

Penalty advantage - why don't we keep it in hand and build pressure.

France schooling us in game management.

Donsteppa

Nice. Now the French have to chance their arm.

canefan

Even if we kick this, we will have to exit.

Very passive defence today. None of the starting loose forwards are strong tacklers. Vaa'i is much better in close.

Why take three when that probably gives them possession in our half?

Would France have been able to bring in a replacement if the winger didn’t go off with an HIA?

JayCee

French were a tad offside with that restart

Darth Sader

I guess too early to make this call definitively, but I was hoping to see more focus and intent from the second year in with this coaching team. Other than helter skelter, what’s the game plan?

Which usually means squeaky bum time for AB supporters….

Their kicking game is so much better than ours it isn't funny
