Wasn’t the knee up off the ground when grounded?
No

So stupid

This team has some decent individuals, but really lacks in key areas. Reckon the team last year would have had a great stab at the title, but the lack of a tight five is really hurting us. Hard to truly rate the loosies and backs as a result... Tangitau and Springer look the business, whilst Hotham a good raw talent, though I wonder if he is not quite quick enough for the New Zealand style of game. Passing is also sometimes a shade suspect.

I play on better grounds each weekend than this.
Some of the players with SR experience have been really poor for NZ. Taylor's throwing, Hotham's passing and Godfrey's kicking.
I can't believe there is only 2 kg per man difference in the forward pack.
I'll watch the 2nd half on a replay. It ain't going to be pretty playing into the wind.

Cant see many future All Blacks in this lot

Coaching is not good for the NZ side,we seem to really not have a game plan for the conditions or to combat the French.
What are we really trying to achieve
The players look like they have been thrown out there with a hope you can turn shit into gold.
They look lost and under prepared. -
@Steven-Harris Will be fascinating to see the progress of Lakai and Clark, but the rest of the forward pack just is not there. Tangitau and Springer perhaps, I always thought Faleafaga was highly rated, so intriguing he was taken off. Everytime I watch him, he has looked slick. They might get him on at the break.
-
@Steven-Harris I think that's mainly due to our pack, particularly the frontrow.
Make that equal, and you get a different game.

Scrum has gone well but the lineout is poor and the attack has not fired much of a shot.
French defence superb and impressed with their ruck organisation.
