Lukewarm 2nd half by AB. Should have been 70…. from my keyboard👍🏻
hopefully france can hold the ball i want to see the all blacks defend
Time for humiliation of French Top14 slackness, & arrogance.
Phone died. Wharappened?
This is why you don't bring France B to NZ.
Take a lesson France, & change your attitude.
Nothing will change. This is to shield their golden boy.
Last week was C Team. This week D Team.
& change the LESS IMPORTANT, Top14 excuse.
hopefully just stays yellow .. was bad , but not to bad …
All blacks playing better without BB
French relieved to have BB back in the field. Stop the points bleed and get more possession.
He, Mr Kicky, can be back up fullback with his brother, JB.
all blacks look good running the ball
Any complaints out of NZ about the refs will not be entertained. The Aussies are your mates.
ref last week was good , and so far this week been good . both games are flowing
Forward pass before the deliberate knock on though?
The least deliberate looking deliberate knock on if I ever saw one.
Deserves a red card.
all blacks trying to pressure BB releasing the pressure ,
TMO needs to check that one. Out of principle.
Looked like obstruction there.
Or kick it back to them for an easy exit.
French set pieces not going well. But if they let the ABs have the ball long enough, they drop the ball. So it’s fine.
bb attacking kicks are so bad
Better defence from the ABs. Kicking not so much.
Nobody:
JW: The kicking game is fine. It’s just the direction and catching of the kicks that’s a problem.
The Wellington Wobble.
Digging this remix. Groove Armada.
I almost expected Rookie Razor to bust a move!
Watching the buildup - the interviews and evening listening to Donald, Marshall and Kieran - New Zealanders are actually such nice people. So good natured.
Just a pity we have all the dregs on this site.
😇
50 French Caps vs 708 AB caps.
Really shouldn’t even be close.
Go Italy!
I mean France!
All blacks is the best
For a young French side they’re on fire, NZ is making to many handling errors for a so called Quality Team! Not impressed with defence of NZ very scattered!😱
Well after 80 minutes NZ got away with a win, Not Impressive, but a win is a win! To much kicking by French youngsters, loosing the advantage ! NZ will have to step up next weekend! Amazing game, the French team were brutal in defence, won a lot of the high balls and maintained the pressure, making NZ to many handling errors!
If team were to play Springboks today, NZ would not make the grade of SR claim! So let’s see Next Week, with 8 French players boost, but the young French side showed grit and talent for 2027! Worrying times for New Zealand, there is still talent that SR is not using to develop for 2027, I feel there is stagnation to going forward compared to Springboks ☹️
SR is too insular. It’s not that the rugby is worse than the NH competitions - it’s just that there’s a diversity in the North given all the competing nations and players from across the globe - that it’s probably a bigger adjustment for SR competitors when facing teams from the North.
The boks are certainly benefiting from the exposure.
But this series will well prepare thr ABS for the RC and the Boks in particular. France and SA play a similar game.
