All Blacks v France Test 3
-
Some great stuff mixed with some shit.

Good game. If it had been all square, no complaint from me. Both sides playing very positively.
-
I'm enjoying this. We're not perfect, but mainly because France are good. I have no idea who is going to win

Todd is having a blinder. Tackle after tackle; now a turnover.
Yep. The other loosies are have a great game - new boys are doing real well.

There is no provision to bring a try back because a ref impedes a defender. Does not exist in the law book.
It should exist.

Too easy to milk. The status quo is fine.
The problem is the competence of the ref and TMO. DMac was miles offside. That's why the try shouldn't have been awarded.

Bloody good half of rugby that.
France giving it absolutely everything, jeezus we’ve got to start double teaming them on d to shut down that offload.
Frizell was busy, as was Hemopo in his stint. Barrett excellent on d early on.
DMac playing a composed knock, picking his times when to cut loose.
Our bloody lineout has the wobbles, very messy.
Shit I’m just glad we’ve seen some good rugby from both sides after last weeks shambles.

Barrett has been really punishing with his defence. Perhaps we have found our long term no 6?
Hemopo looked bloody handy and I reckon Frizzell is going good in his first test. Put in some nice stops.

Hemopo looked really good. Frizzle is missing tackles and looks pretty lost.

I hope there's a card otherwise talk back radio will still be full of praise for Jacinda and the fucken baby.

Lacey's action will hide the fact the ABs managed to completely isolate the halfback. Good play

Watch the replay and you’ll see the halfback only had eyes for AS until it was too late. When he saw DMac it was way too late.

France are infuriating. Long bloody season. Should be flogged by third test. And instead play like they’re stepping out for their first run out of the season. Big contrast to Ireland in 2012 when half the team were mentally on the plane chugging beers for the third test in a shameful result.

@crucial 9 doesn't help himself pushing the ref toward Dmac either.

I know I'm already biased against him, but as I'm doing the Ardie Savea (TM - GT12) on him - I can't believe how Frizell is being rated by posters so far.
He's been decidedly average, no punishing hits, lots of second man to tackle or completed ruck, - not really doing much and has missed at least one or maybe two tackles. Hasn't had a chance on attack.
Hemopo looked a lot better in his time on the field.
