New Zealand vs France

[badabing59]

Cruden penalty 10-zip

 

[Rassie]

French lineouts are like their war efforts. Terrible

 

[RoffsChoice]

What a run from Read, he saw Picomole made a break earlier and decided he had to do better.

 

[ACR]

Great tackle 9. Nonu's niggle is always so annoying.

 

[Rassie]

Dusautoir winning penalty on the D. Relieve for France

 

[FrankLind]

ABs dominating territory but still only 10-0 at halftime.
Sam Whitelock and Read pressuring the French lineout.
Picamoles is a beast for the Frogs.
Aaron Smith's and Dagg's kicking game are excellent.

 

[ACR]

^^ all of that but we get isolated too often at phase 3-4. Dusautoir is immune to Nonu's clearance ability.

C. Smith's defensive reads are just fucking unreal sometimes, he makes it look easy

 

[Rassie]

Michalak serving up his usual kak. And he was nominated as one of the top rugby players in the world last year?

 

[ACR]

Game over, 5 minutes on the line, then breakout try.

Great defence ABs. French look one-dimensional. French failing to suck in enough defenders at the tackle/ruck (maul looked better option, that seemed to be working better for them).

How many time did the all black imfringe during that 30 phases messem was standing offside going for the ball and the ref pushed him back and said no........why no penalty??

Try Smith (B)!
Survived withering assault by French. Great Defense!

 

[FrankLind]

Amazing play by the ABs.

 

[USARugger]

Try was on during the 5-6th phases out to the left until they decided to rumble it left through the forwards and THEN finally move it to the backs on the crash to Fritz AFTER the entire AB defense had slid to the left. French are their own worst enemy right now just a series of brain explosions and it looks like Michalak is to blame for most of them.

 

[Rassie]

France 25 phases, then crazy to go for drop goal, charge down and 80 metres later NZ try ... 17-0 That is the TEST decided in that moment

 

[Garryowen]

Could have been a cheeky AB knock on following the charge down

 

[Rassie]

Had the French defended like NZ did, WW2 would have been a lot shorter

 

[USARugger]

Beautiful steal by Ranger. Huget fortunate not to get whistled for that attempt at a cleanout.

 

[Bullrush]

Ranger on....gets a pilfer. Keeping the same form which has him with the 2nd most pilfers in Super Rugby this year.....
