All Blacks v France, 2021 NH Tour

[MN5]

Quinn Tupeua seems to miss more tackles than he actually makes.

[MajorPom]

Jesus Christ. We aren’t even competitive. So far off the pace. 50 point plus hiding coming up.

Amazon Prime have secured an incredibly pro France commentary team too.

Like a knife through very soft butter. The French booker in for his fifth try in three games.

like the Fijians did to us earlier this year ... but Foster got reappointed.

Well done France. They look bloody good. This could be teh watershed '03 moment, but the other way around

[Dice]

This pack is even more passive than last weeks pack.

[Steven Harris]

@kev ,would have been a perfect pass if Jordie Barrett was the receiver

[sparky]

France 24 NZ 6. All Blacks getting royally humped.

[MN5]

Bridge of all people trying to run it from his own line. Jesus.

[Tim]

Forward pack that is not up to it, and constant errors. Awful.

[Anonymous]

What the fuck was that Bridge. Jogging back, or was that his top speed?

[taniwharugby]

Well seems like my decison to do something other than watch this game was the right one...

[98blueandgold]

I dont think we (The Fern) should blame the players as I think this is just highlighting issues that we have since 2015. As a nation I think we need to look at how we are developing our players, especially forwards and game plans. We need to emphasise size and power and develop our kicking strategies. winning super rugby or playing exciting rugby at ITM just is cutting it for us. (maybe over reaction! )

[Canes4life]

Mo’unga doesn’t cut it for me at test level. He’s looking clueless out there.

I'm sorry, I'm just not seeing the AB quality in George Bridge.
Then again, I'm not sure what is AB quality watching this game.

[sparky]

Worst half of All Black Test Rugby since the RWC Semi Final in 1999. Appalling.

[Victor Meldrew]

We are not protecting the ball carrier. France is walking all over us at the breakdown.

Is this your first game ?

[kev]

SF in panic mode.

[nostrildamus]

France offside? Very up..

[Donsteppa]

Hilariously bad. Almost as if this was an Ian Foster coached Chiefs side. Imagine if there was a precedent for that…

[98blueandgold]

If you watch this phase we have two lots of forwards runners and then nothing! both times first receivers have to play individually, no forwards in sight. what is our plan!!!!????
